Answer A : Geoff Marsh of Australia and Kevin Sharp of England IN in above picture.
They were inspecting their respective bats after a net session at WACA ground in 1979. With his bat Marsh scored a century at Lord’s against Young England during Australia’s under-19 tour to UK in 1977. And with his, Sharp hit a 260 against under-19 West Indies in UK in 1978. When this picture was taken Marsh was expected to establish himself in the West Australian team that season, and Sharp was a regular member of Yorkshire team in England.
