Cricketer's name

"Oh -in" Sorry can't do it phonetically. It's an Irish form of John, same family as "Owen"

Isn't it Eugene instead of John?

So what would be the difference between "Eoin" and "Eoghain"? I'm assuming both are Irish spellings for Owen.

The Fount of all Knowledge has the answer for both #2 and #3.

Interesting. So an English Owen could have come from either Eoin (John) or an Eoghain (Eugene.)

A century is a hundred runs in one, what, in one of the things that in baseball would be called an "at bat".

Thanks all.

"Seán" is another Irish form of John, probably more common than Eoin; according to TFAK Séan came via (Norman) French Jean.

Incidentally Eoin Morgan doesn't just have an Irish name, he actually is Irish - despite the fact that he scored the aforementioned century playing for England.

Vinny, you may be looking for the word "innings".

A century is a hundred runs by a single batsman in one innings. It's rarer than a home run, but not as rare as a grand slam.
Incidentally, I was surprised to learn from zashibis #4 that Wikipedia lets you look people up by their given names. How many famous Kevins are there? Answer: 1 or 2.
