Look at his father, identical IMO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Edrich

Feedback from Gavin Cowley:
"Edrich is a well-known England cricketing name. Many youngsters from England used to come to South Africa in their winter to coach cricket at schools and clubs. Maybe he was one of them? There was a Justin Edrich (born 1961), son of the great Bill Edrich, who played for Suffolk."

The family link is why someone might want the photo connection...

Don’t know about Bill but it’s definitely not Justin though.

Would be too young to be Bill in the 80s.

My guy tracked down his housemate, from when they were playing here in PE, and that's what he said, but you're probably right.

Yes, son of Bill
 
Ok I guess I’m wrong and he suddenly sprouted eyebrows after that photo was taken.

Or I’m looking at a different Justin.

Edit: Yep, I’m looking at John Edrich because google images is stupid. Guess Justin wasn’t famous enough.
 
Guys, it's not that important. I think you're putting too much energy into this lol

Turns out it was for some crap pic of the day nonsense on facebook and just for interest.

Alas, no it's not my toppie lol. Why? Does some kid in the pic look like the cricketer? o_O
 
I think the lesson learnt from this thread is that if you are in the EC I want free tickets to a domestic cricket match, the man to hit up is @bwana

First rule of the internet: When you start a thread, you have no idea where it's going to end up...
