Mushtaq flirted with a proper beard - such as here (with racing stripes)

but sometimes lost his nerve and chopped it back...

anyway - he didn't play for England - which is what I meant by "English Cricketer"...

Flintoff had one for a while (and I don't mean a stubble). So did Matt Prior.

And prior to that - Foxy Fowler and Peter Willey.

Only going back to the 70s, though.

As opposed to the 1870s...
