Stuart Broad- great opening batsman?
I thought that was Chris Broad

[EGTB]

Hi, sorry to muddy the waters but Stuart Broad is a excellent bowler and scores some useful runs for England but has never been a opening batsman (except as nightwatchman)either for England or Notts , normally bating at 8 or 9

[factor-fiction]

Yes that was the point i was trying to make , EGTB.
Souxie - please can you clarify the letters, do you have all of them and are we looking for a surname or a full name?

[Mamyalynne]

was the 'u' and the 't' that led me there sorry to all cricket fans lol

[factor-fiction]

more likely to be Allan Border (although i'm not sure he opened either) or Donald Bradman if there are some lettrers missing

[souxie]

Sorry about the dealay in responding,the letters i have are UTDATARORSB

[sir.prize]

so full marks to mamyalynne

[Mamyalynne]

More luck than judgement.

[factor-fiction]

Well done mamyalynne, but if the question in the paper did say "great opening batsman", it's a mistake by the Express

[Johnamill]

Is it just me, or in the Scottish Sunday Express the clues given DO NOT match the answer grid???

[Johnamill]

It does also say SURNAME of a GREAT opening batsman!!
