Hahaha, bugger off Bj bhoy. This question combines two sports:

Name the individuals to have played Test Cricket and Davis Cup tennis.

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

Well i did research bout it anyway. I think its all on a ten pin bowling thread which Id bump but someone would get the shits.

Is the question someone who played both? Shit it would be a while back then...

 

[RanyofuKenyan?]

Indeed it is awhile back although in recent times:

Asif Karim, Kenya's captain during the 1999 world cup, was also a Davis Cup player.

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

And that Namibian guy played in both Rugby and cricket world cups.

I think I might sleep on it.

Name the individuals to have played Test Cricket and Davis Cup tennis.

Well, if it's Test cricket and it's a fair way back in history, that'd leave possibilities like:

Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka.

Then looking at Davis Cup tennis countries of those lot (from what I know):

Australia, England?, South Africa, India?

So I presume players are from one of those possibly four countries.

Because the only famous tennis players I know from a while ago are Australian, I'll go with some random cricketers, who were batsmen (on account of them probably being better at tennis) ...

Keith Miller; Arthur Morris; Lindsay Hassett; the Don.

Haha I just took the only batsmen I know from The Invincibles team around 1948.

Any of them correct?

One of the players is from the 4 countries you listed second, the other is from a country you have not mentioned. There i just gave another clue there are two players.

The Namibian guy was Rudi van Vuuren. Pretty much the whole cricket team, as well as the flyhalf for the rugby team. Good bloke.

This question has really fucked me up. Im close to googling. But first I asked me old man, and he said that a Victorian bloke did both. So I am still fucked.

Google away dear sir, but to my knowledge neither is Victorian, or for that matter Australian.

 

[Bookie]

PW Sherwell (RSA)
C Ramaswami (Ins) - DAVIS CUP
BA Barnett (Aus)
Kepler Wessels
RA Legall
A Lyttleton

According to my source only two have played test cricket and davis cup tennis, both are on your list.
I may be wrong in there being only two, but i'm pretty sure Kepler Wessels never played davis cup, even though he was a talented junior tennis player.

 

[DRAGONZ]

This has gone nowhere, Brogan!

I'll go with the first two:

PW Sherwell
C Ramaswami
