This should be easy for the cricket diehards on here, and if I'm not mistaken many of these played in the Lancs league back in their day..
I struggled with a lot of the West Indians, so only mustered 9/20.https://www.sporcle.com/games/gordon796 ... t=cricket
Can you name these cricketers all who have received a knighthood for services to cricket?

They have one spelt wrong so that you don't get it with the correct spelling, and one I didn't recognise at all without his hat.
I knighted a few West indians that seem rather more deserving than the usual tory hangers on.

Surprised to see Sir Learie Constantine not on the list, but perhaps his non-cricketing activities (politician, etc) earned him the knighthood.
...and then, of course, there's the absence of that fine English slow left arm bowler:
Sir Francis Drake
I'll get my coat.
