Interestingly named bowling/batting pairs

[Sea fog]

With news that Pepper will be likely named to open with Salt in England's ODI against the Windies, it brings to mind other possible funny or complementary combinations. For example de Kock and Philander batting together. Steyn and Philander opening the bowling together. It was often commented that had Strauss stayed in South Africa, he may have opened with Elgar etc. Guess Salt and Pepper are a punster's delight.

A bit different but Arlott I believe describing the bowling of the kiwi's Bob Cunis as a bit like his name, neither one thing nor the other.

Stone and Wood shared the new ball at some point this year. Arshdeep and Bumrah must be some chance to do the same on the Indian tour..
