Question - 403

What is happening? Identify as many as you can.

Answer: Greg Ritchie, David Boon, Jeff Thompson and Craig McDermott are loading kegs of beer to keep them company on the plane trip from Australia to England for the Ashes. There is an unofficial championship of sorts among Australian cricketers as to who consumes the most beer on these trips. Boon supposedly drank 54 cans of beer on one of these trips. Raghu, Rajeev, Debasish, Kaushik, Swapnaa, anon, Krithi, Arvind, ameen, Rajesh K, Anand, Renuka and Mihir got it. Well done.

Aside: Since there was no update yesterday, there will be 2 questions today (402&403). Next update is on Sunday night.

David Boon Australian Cricketer unpacks his luggage on return from a successful 1993 Ashes tour. Others are 1.C.J.McDermott,2.Julian, 3.Zoehrer or Thompson, I am not sure.
An interesting aspect of the tour was Boon guzzled 52 cans of beer which is a record till now before disembarking at Heathrow & Team coach Bob Simpson was livid apparently, and almost sent him home
krithi

David Boon getting "commemorated" for consuming a record 54 beers during his trip to England from Australia for the 1989 Ashes.

Others I think are - G Marsh (on cart), T Aldermann (On the street), Geoff Lawson (handing over the keg)

- Rajesh K

Dean Jones and David Boon. Is the 3rd australian player Craig McDermott? Something to do with Boon's 52-not-out beer can drinking exploits en route to England? Celebrating his "keg-on-legs" nickname?
