EE Achong was a left arm spin bowler who played for the West Indies in the early 30’s. He played 6 tests, took 8 wickets and faded away. But, we still hold him in collective memory due to an incident that occurred in the 1933 Manchester test against England.
Achong had Walter Robbins stumped and was celebrating. As Robbins walked back to the pavilion, he said to Joe Hardstaff Snr., the umpire – "Fancy being done by a bloody X". X is now a commonly used cricketing term - X?
Trivia revealed [Apr 10th]:
X = The Red Cross.
Henry Dunant was awarded the 1901 Nobel Peace Prize for founding the international red cross. He recorded his memories and experiences in the book 'A memory of solferino', which served as an inspiration for the founding of the Red Cross in 1863.
