This sportsman captained his country at cricket and was given a nickname with respect to his initials and his batting. Also, in his Olympic victory, his opponent was an Australian who was also versatile in a number of sports.
Further clues are his cricket career was before and after WWI and he was drowned in an accident at sea. I think I've been more than generous now. _________________ he's an animal, what can u expect!!! |

Moved the previous question to cricket quiz so will replace it with this one which retains an Olympic taste.
Have Australia and New Zealand ever fielded a combined team and if so, when ?? _________________ he's an animal, what can u expect!!! |
