Family Tons...
This one was presumably inspired by Shaun Marsh's fine debut ton in the second Test between Sri Lanka and Australia in Pallekele last week. His father Geoff Marsh scored four hundreds in his 50-Test career, which stretched from 1985-86 to 1991-92. The Marshes are the tenth father-and-son combination to make Test centuries. That counts India's illustrious Amarnaths as two instances - father Lala Amarnath scored India's first Test hundred, in Bombay in 1933-34, while his sons Mohinder (11) and Surinder (just one) made Test tons too. The other family double acts are Stuart and Chris Broad (England), Walter and Richard Hadlee (New Zealand), Hanif and Shoaib Mohammad (Pakistan), Vijay and Sanjay Manjrekar (India), Nazar Mohammad and Mudassar Nazar (Pakistan), Dave and Dudley Nourse (South Africa), and the Nawabs of Pataudi senior (for England) and junior (India).
