The main photo above shows Adam Hollioake hitting out during his innings of 32 off 28 balls in the 1st Texaco Trophy
One Day International at The Oval in May 1998. Despite captain Hollioake's efforts England went down to a 3 wicket
defeat and the went on to lose the 3 match series 2-1. The inset picture shows a proud day for the Hollioake family as
Adam and brother Ben line up prior to their Test match debuts in the 5th Test against Australia at Trent Bridge in August 1997.
In doing so they became the only brothers to make their Test debuts together in the 20th century and it was also the
first time that brothers had represented England in the same game since Worcestershire's Peter and Dick Richardson in 1957.
