Question

Which cricketer played in 4 decades?

Answer 1

Brian Close of England Played '49-'81 and I think Fred Titmus also of England played from '48-'82, including a period in the late 60's when he lost some toes to a boat motor in the WI.

Answer 2

W. G. Grace played in five decades (1860's, 1870's, 1880's, 1890's, and 1900's).

Ray Illingworth played in 4 (1050's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's).
