Question: Who is older, George Strachan or John Jacob Esher?
Sentence (from "George Strachan"): Many a batsman, having hit a ball in the direction of cover -point, started to run, being ignorant of his wonderful quickness and great reach, and feeling certain he could never get to it; but not only did he get to it, but picking it up with surprising quickness, he had it into the wicket- keeper's or bowler's hands like a flash and seconds before the batsman had reached his crease!
Relevant evidence: No
