Answer 4

The only first class cricket any of them could have played would have been for Oxford or Cambridge Universities..Churchill was a girly cream puff in his youth and wouldnt have got into his college knitting team, I 've never heard of Blair being into cricket, and its hard to imagine Wilson playing any sport...so I'll guess Alec Douglas-Home.
