Answer 1

Frederick John Titmus (born Somers Town, London 24 November 1932) was an English cricketer whose first-class career spanned five decades. Although he was best known for his off spin (though at first he bowled medium pace as well), he was an accomplished lower-order batsman who deserved to be called an all-rounder. Outside cricket, Titmus was also a good footballer, and played professionally for Watfordhaving earlier played as an amateur for Chelsea.

Titmus was in his school's first XI by the age of thirteen, and when sixteen he wrote to Lord's, the ground being very close to his home, to ask for a trial. He was quickly accepted onto the MCC groundstaff, and in June 1949 he was plucked straight from the groundstaff to make his first-class debut against Somerset at Bath. Although he did little in the match, his selection for the first team at such a young age was a clear sign of his potential.

1950 was Titmus' first full season of county cricket, and he performed reasonably well, taking 55 wickets including 7-34 against Minor Counties in July. His appearances in 1951 and 1952 were restricted because of his National Service obligations, although he kept his hand in with games for the Combined Services. In 1953 he returned to play for Middlesex full-time, and took 105 wickets, the first of 16 years in which he would reach three figures.

1955 was a superb year for Titmus, as he did the "double" for the first time: he took what would remain his best season's haul of 191 wickets at just 16.31, taking five or more wickets in an innings on no less than 18 occasions. 158 of these wickets were for his county, beating by four the record set up in 1900 by Albert Trott. He also passed a thousand runs for the first time, scoring 1,235 including the first of his six centuries, making 104 against Hampshire albeit in a losing cause as Middlesex lost by an innings
