    Regarding question 3:-
    Arnie Sidebottom and his son Ryan Sidebottom both played for Yorkshire & England.
    David Bairstow and his son Jonny Bairstow both played for Yorkshire & England.
    BUT I can't find a Peter and son who have both played for Yorkshire & England.
    The nearest I can find is Ryan Sidebottom, Jonny Bairstow and David Willey are all curent Yorkshire players who have famous fathers who played for England, but David Willey's father PETER didn't play for Yorkshire..
    Ryan, Jonny and David have all played for England in ODI/T20 matches but David has yet to play in a Test Match.
    So the answer could be David.
    BUT, I could be barking up the wrong Willow here.
