It's hard cause samson didn't play any game in 2012 and even die hard KKR fan will hardly remember this thing imo. Hard for someone to find out if you haven't followed that tournament and specially if player didn't even play single match.

Q2. Billy Murdoch (England and Australia)? :dontknow:

@Jimmy Cliff Bingo about 150+ score by Indian WK in tests :two_thumbs_up:

 

But not right about the other one. @Norman He retired less than a decade ago.

 

However let me add another hint for the question :

 

Q2  Player A played for country B and C. He scored his highest test score in an historic series wherein he made news for off field reasons till he played that landmark innings at venue D.  Identify A,B,C and D.  

In that historic series, team mate of A broke a individual batting record for his country, a record which is still held by that same team mate.
