Laurie Nash & Keith Miller
 
Well done Wozzer.

Keith Miller once kept Pratt goalless, while Pratt and Nash kicked 199 goals between them in South Melbournes 1933 premiership team.

Interestingly I don't think they played against each other as Miller played with St Kilda 1942-44 and 1946 while Nash left the VFL for the VFA in 1937 and returned for one season in 1945 when he kicked 56 goals as a 35 yo and played in the "Bloodbath" grand final.
 
Leysy's swooped from nowhere -

he played every match & didnt score a run - was out on the only ball he faced

Which British football team has won the European Cup more times than its own top league?
 
Australian Greyhound Racing has maximum fields of 8. Three part question: What is the maximum number of runners in English greyhound racing, name another significant difference in the way the races are run and what colour is the 2 box?
 
Is it 6 maximum ? The 2 box wears all blue as for the significant difference not sure but don't think the dogs wear muzzles and most tracks are run as private enterprises. Not sure if that is what you are looking for.
