School in Sydney ?

This list says that Ben went to Joey's. But if moved to England at age 6 and started playing for Surrey at aged 18, then when was he at school in Sydney ? And the article says his childhood school was Wesley Perth ? It's a bit confusing. Drop a note on my talk-page if you can shed light.-Sticks66 13:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ben's obituary in the 2003 edition of Wisden has this to say:

Born in Melbourne, the brothers had travelled to England when their father's work took him there, and Ben played age-group cricket for England while at Millfield. Although he completed his schooling in Perth after the family moved back to Australia, Surrey had already lined him up to rejoin Adam at The Oval.

It looks as though Ben started his school days in Australia, then went to Millfield, then finished schooling back in Australia, then went back to England again when he was signed by Surrey. Loganberry (Talk) 00:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

The chronology in the early life section appears odd as it's currently written. The "[moved to England] for 2 years then a further 3 years in Hong Kong before returning to Australia." bit is not sourced, and doesn't fit with him playing in Sydney aged 9. I can't find any reference to him returning to Hong Kong. Old Millfieldian Society Chronicle lists his years at Millfield prep/Millfield? as 1989 to 1992 so my best guess is as follows:

1977 - Born in Australia
1980-1983/1984 - Hong Kong
1984-1986? - England
1986?-1989? - Sydney?
1989-1992 - Millfield, England
1992?-June 1994? - Perth College
June 1994 - Surrey 2nd XI
