Another great name, but I can’t get past Mr and Mrs de Grandhomme deciding that their son should be called Colin. With that surname, they should have gone with something like Brutus.Napoleon Einstein says hi.

Rudolph had a pretty short test career think he got found out a bit. He then went to Yorkshire as a Kolpak for quite a few seasons from memory.Rowe I remember from a pack of Top Trumps!
Jacques Rudolph (SA) is relatively recent, although I think he retired quite early.
Always preferred Quinton de Kock myself.Colin de Grandhomme has to be the best name in cricket ever.

Each to their own ;-)Always preferred Quinton de Kock myself.
The name thing reminds me of my favourite line from the scorecard of the varsity match many years ago:
Rev. A.R. Wingfield-Digby c Prathmanathan b Le Quesne Savage....0.
The very posh Michael le Quesne Savage (to rhyme with Farage) went on to play for Leics as Mike Savage (to rhyme with cabbage).

Pretty decent day for England all told, but my do NZ look a tight team I suppose a year or two of only playing home tests and a small playing pool has grooved them.

Serious question. I have done a Google search to no avail. Noticed Nasser Hussain has quite a tremor when holding a mic. Is there any reported health issues related to him?
