Thanks Crimson. I thought I had to delve a bit deeper than Cricinfo ... :D

Now it's your turn again as the mastermind of this thread.

Gerald Linnell was the answer I was looking for, although your explanation is not complete. I'd still give it to you.

Both those paintings are by John Linnell, 19th century British painter, who had particular interest in painting landscapes and was inspired by Albrecht Durer. Gerald Linnell who played for Rhodesia was his grandson.

An interesting connection.

Some more information about Linnell, taken from Jonty Winch's "Cricket's Rich Heritage":

One year after his arrival in Rhodesia Linnell played an important part in Buluwayo's win in the 1897 tournament in Salisbury, the predecessor to the Logan Cup, with figures of 4-31 as Bulawayo thrashed Salisbury in the final by an innings. It seems he also for a while held a batting record in Bulawayo club cricket with an innings of 176.

In all likelihood he also turned out in 1899 when a Bulawayo XVIII took on the MCC, led by Lord Hawke (essentially England) and featuring the great Plum Warner.

Linnell's one and only FC appearance came in Rhodesia's first ever FC match, their Currie Cup debut (their first and last Currie Cup match for 25 years) against Transvaal in 1904/05.

An interesting collector's item, including a cricket ball presented to Linnell for a hat trick in Bulawayo club cricket, can be found here: https://www.angloboerwar.com/forum/bsac ... ertificate

Does that qualify him for a role as the "voice from the grave" in the "Last Rhodesian"?

Wow, that's some great detective work to find that certificate! Not sure how it should be seen today though... But that article also says his father was an artist too!

A complete guess: Bright Phiri?

It's neither Phiri nor Muyeye.

Clue: he's one of a myriad of people whose immediate plans were put on ice by the current crisis.

Indeed it is! Very well done.

Strange that this guy was considered good enough to be selected for a Zimbabwe Presidents XI.
