We've come up with two different dates, you and I (?!?)
Oh well. My source was
http://statserver.cricket.org/link_to_database/PLAYERS/ENG/R/RAMPRAKASH_MR_0
1001990/
and I got the year 1991.
But I know *nothing* about cricket - can't even understand the terms used (I
would ask what a "home test" is, but I'm afraid someone might tell me LOL),
so shall leave it to Denise to choose which seems right to her.
