I have been given this question to solve, please help.


"As far as I am aware, only one Test cricketer has ever been executed. Who, when and for what crime?

Hmmm no idea, has to be old though as executions dont really take place anymore.

stumped on this one.

i typed in a number of random searches, such as execution, executed, killed, etc,. on Cricinfo, but came up with nothing.

Hope I'm not too late here...

The answer you're looking for is Leslie Hylton, the Jamaican and WI Test fast bowler on the 1939 side to England. He later murdered his wife, and was hanged during the Aussie tour of WI in 1955.

We don't always get a cricket question but If you like I will post the hardest question we get each week and you can try your luck. Not always sport though.
