One-eyed "Buster" Nupen. Norwegian by descent, reputedly the finest matting-wicket bowler in the world. He lost an eye as a 4-year-old. Nupen played 17 Tests for South Africa between 1922 and '36, primarily recognised as a bowler. Oct 13 03, 4:04 PM

Athanasois John Traicos was the most unlikely of cricketers. Born to Greek parents in the Egyptian town of Zagazig, Traicos developed into an off-spinner good enough to turn out in three Tests for the mighty South African side of the 1970s. However, South Africa had to leave cricket because of their apartheid policies. The doughty Traicos, though, could not be denied. He bided his time, practicing law and playing cricket in nearby Rhodesia. This included appearing in three World Cups, most memorably skippering Zimbabwe in the 1987 series held on the Indian sub-continent. The veteran was 45 years old when Zimbabwe played their first Test against India. Oct 13 03, 5:23 PM

Ellis Achong, a Chinese cricketer who played for the West Indies between 1929 and 1934. This cricketer may be the origin of the term "A chinaman" which is actually a ball from a normal left-arm spinner that turns the opposite way to his normal delivery. Oct 13 03, 7:29 PM
