@PictureSporting Bit unsure, but is the umpire Charlie Elliott? Or his partner in that test Jack Crapp? @fredfertang

[AM @Joy_Cricket]

@fredfertang @JohnStone36 @wheeble The gentleman answering the call here is the former Sindh province batsman (between 1936-37 & 1947-48) of erstwhile Undivided India, Daud Khan (b. 1912, d. 21.6.79, both at Karachi) who subsequently officiated in 14 tests between 1955 & 1973 all in Pakistan post-independence.

@fredfertang @DrNaumanNiaz Have seen a smaller version (edited, now I suppose) of this pic before, and today, I am humbled to see that both the umpires, too, happen to be a part of this long-shot frame. Enlarging a bit, I reckon umpire Jordan (left) leaving the field with umpire Walcott. Thanks for upload.

@DrNaumanNiaz Sir, by any chance, have you ever seen the picture of umpire HD Bird trimming SM Gavaskar's hairs at Old Trafford in 1974? I had seen it in a regional magazine, but unfortunately it went afloat with all my collections, never to get it back again!

@fredfertang Am I correct to presume that the umpire here is John Langridge? Nonetheless, with a smile in his face, he, too, seems to enjoy the happenings.

[AM @Joy_Cricket]

@fredfertang The umpire seen here is Alfred Birkett. Sadly, some three years hence, he died in a road accident at Mozambique.

@PictureSporting Although he was a law graduate, but he actually was in service as an Accounts Officer in the Accountant General’s Office,New Delhi.

@allanholloway @gulu1959 @PictureSporting So, on the ground of 'conflict of interest' he was not allowed to 'stand' in that test. We will, perhaps, never know what the specific reason was for Tarrant not being selected in that third test.

[AM @Joy_Cricket]

@allanholloway @gulu1959 @PictureSporting It is an established fact that Tarrant was an 'employee' of the Maharaja of Patiala. In that final test at Madras, Yuvraj of Patiala (Maharaja's son) was included in the Indian squad.

[AM @Joy_Cricket]

@gulu1959 @allanholloway @PictureSporting Yes. Will see tomorrow if I still have the exact wordings.

@sarastro77 @DerbyshireCCC The umpires who officiated the Gentlemen vs Players match at Lord's 1930 were A Morton and HI Young (and not M Young) - as mentioned in the fifth and last picture. Please clarify. Thanks.

@SaikiaArup @Marcus60s70s80s @TheBongGunner @mahenrr @gulu1959 @ClaytonMurzello @El_Chopernos Certainly NOT - and definitely far from being anywhere near to it in this present life...

Middlesex team, 1894. Can anyone please help to identify the players, if possible? Am looking for a picture of JAE Hickson who played for them in handful of matches: 2 in 1894 & 1 in 1896. Prior to that he played for Transvaal in 1890, and also stood in a 'test' in 1889 in SA.
