The '''English Under-19 cricket team''' have been playing official U-19 test matches since 1974. Prior to 1991/92 they were known as England Young Cricketers.
Two contradicting theories exist to explain the origins of conjoined twins. The older and most generally ac ted theory is ''fission'', in which the fertilized egg . The second theory is fusion, in which a fertilized egg completely separates, but [[stem cell]]s (which search for similar cells) find like-stem cells on the other twin and fuse the twins together.


[[English national cricket captains#Youth cricket|Former captains]] include [[Mike Atherton]], [[Michael Vaughan]], [[Marcus Trescothick]] and [[Andrew Flintoff]], who have all gone on to captain England in test matches.
Perhaps the most famous pair of conjoined twins was [[Chang and Eng Bunker]] (1811&ndash;1874), [[China|Chinese]] brothers born in Siam, now [[Thailand]]. They traveled with [[P.T. Barnum]]'s circus for many years and were billed as the '''Siamese Twins'''. Chang and Eng were joined by a band of flesh, cartilage, and their fused livers at the torso. In modern times, they freed me

* '''[[Thoracopagus]]''' (18.5%)<ref name=embryology/>: Two bodies fused from the upper [[thorax]] to lower belly. The [[heart]] is always involved in these cases.<ref name=duplicata/>
*[[Liam Dawson]]
* '''[[Omphalopagus]]''' (10%)<ref name=embryology/>: Two bodies fused at the lower [[chest]]. Unlike thoracopagus, the heart is never involved in these cases; however, the twins often share a [[liver]], [[digestive system]], [[diaphragm (anatomy)|diaphragm]] and other organs.<ref name=duplicata/>
*[[Luke Fletcher]]
* '''[[Parasitic twins]]''' (10%)<ref name=embryology/>: Twins that are asymmetrically conjoined, resulting in one twin that is small, less formed, and dependent on the larger twin for survival.
*[[James Goodman (cricketer)|James Goodman]]
* '''Craniopagus''' (6%)<ref name=embryology/>: Fused [[skull]]s, but separate bodies. These twins can be conjoined at the back of the head, the front of the head, or the side of the head, but not on the face or the base of the skull.<ref name=duplicata/>
*[[Alex Hales]]
*[[Jack Manuel]]
*[[Stuart Meaker]]
*[[Daniel Redfern]]

*[[Ian Saxelby]]
*[[Greg Smith (cricketer, born 1988)|Greg Smith]]
*[[James Taylor (cricketer)|James Taylor]]
*[[Alex Wakely]]
*[[Chris Woakes]]


England won the series, beating New Zealand in the first Test and drawing the second. The one-day series was drawn 1-1, with 1 tie and 2 no results.
Other less-common types of conjoined twins include:
* '''[[Cephalopagus]]''': Two faces on opposite sides of a single, conjoined head; the upper portion of the body is fused while the bottom portions are separate. These twins generally cannot survive due to severe malformations of the brain. Also known as janiceps (after the two-faced god [[Janus (mythology)|Janus]]) or syncephalus.<ref name=duplicata/>
* '''[[Synecephalus]]''': One head with a single face but four ears, and two bodies.<ref name=duplicata/>
* '''[[Cephalothoracopagus]]''': Bodies fused in the head and thorax. In this type of twins, there are two faces facing in opposite directions, or sometimes a single face and an enlarged skull. <ref name=duplicata/>[http://www.collphyphil.org/virt_tour/museum_8.htm]
* '''[[Xiphopagous]]''': Two bodies fused in the [[Xyphoid process|xiphoid cartilage]], which is approximately from the navel to the lower breastbone. These twins almost never share any vital organs, with the exception of the liver.<ref name=duplicata/> A famous example is Chang and Eng Bunker.
* '''Ischiopagus''': Fused lower half of the two bodies, with [[Vertebral column|spines]] conjoined end-to-end at a 180° angle. These twins have four arms; two, three or four legs; and typically one external [[genitalia]] and [[anus]].<ref name=duplicata/>
* '''[[Omphalo-Ischiopagus]]''': Fused in a similar fashion as ischiopagus twins, but facing each other with a joined abdomen akin to omphalopagus. These twins have four arms, and two, three, or four legs.<ref name=duplicata/>
* '''[[Parapagus]]''': Fused side-by-side with a shared [[pelvis]]. Twins that are '''[[dithoracic parapagus]]''' are fused at the abdomen and pelvis, but not the thorax. Twins that are '''[[diprosopic parapagus]]''' have one trunk and one head with two faces. Twins that are '''[[dicephalic parapagus]]''' have one trunk and two heads, and two (dibrachius), three (tribrachius), or four (tetrabrachius) arms.<ref name=duplicata/>
* '''[[Craniopagus parasiticus]]''': Like craniopagus, but with a second bodiless head attached to the dominant head.
* '''[[Pygopagus]] (Iliopagus)''': Two bodies joined back-to-back at the [[buttocks]].<ref name=duplicata/>

Surgery to separate conjoined twins may range from relatively simple to extremely complex, depending on the point of attachment and the internal parts that are shared. Most cases of separation are extremely risky and life-threatening. In many cases, the surgery results in the death of one or both of the twins, particularly if they are joined at the head. This makes the [[ethics]] of surgical separation, where the twins can survive if not separated, contentious. Dreger found the quality of life of twins who remain conjoined to be higher than is commonly supposed.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0674018257 ''One of Us: Conjoined Twins and the Future of Normal''] by Alice Dreger, [[Harvard University Press| Harvard]], 2004</ref> [[Lori and George Schappell]] are a good example.

A case of particular interest was that of Mary and Jodie, two conjoined twins from Malta who were separated by court order in Great Britain over the religious objections of their parents, Michaelangelo and Rina Attard. The surgery took place in November, 2002, at [[St Mary's Hospital]] in [[Manchester]]. The operation was controversial because it was expected that the weaker twin, Mary, would die as a result of the procedure. (The twins were attached at the lower abdomen and spine; Jodie's heart and lungs supplied both of their bodies.)<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1292681.stm</ref><ref>Appel, Jacob M.

== Conjoined twins in history ==
[[Image:Nuremberg chronicles - Female Siamese Twins (CLXXXIIv).jpg|thumb|200px|left|Conjoined twin sisters from the ''[[Nuremberg Chronicle]]'' (1493).]]
[[Image:Conjoinedtwinslarcomuseum.jpg|thumb|Moche ceramics depicting conjoined twins. AD 300 [[Larco Museum|Larco Museum Collection]] Lima, Peru.]]
The earliest known documented case of conjoined twins dates from the year 945, when a pair of conjoined twin brothers from [[Armenia]] were brought to [[Constantinople]] for medical evaluation. It was here that they were determined to be acts of God and the birth of conjoined twins was considered a proof that the male's sexual prowess was truly twice that of the average man. However, the [[Moche]] culture of ancient [[Peru]] depicted conjoined twins in their ceramics dating back to AD 300.<ref>Berrin, Katherine & Larco Museum. ''The Spirit of Ancient Peru:Treasures from the [[Larco Museum|Museo Arqueológico Rafael Larco Herrera]].'' New York: [[Thames and Hudson]], 1997.</ref> The English twin sisters [[Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst]], who were conjoined at the back (pygopagus), lived from 1100 to 1134 and were perhaps the best-known early example of conjoined twins. Other early conjoined twins to attain notice were the "Scottish brothers", allegedly of the [[dicephalus]] type, essentially two heads sharing the same body (1460&ndash;1488, although the dates vary); the pygopagus Helen and Judith of [[Szőny]], [[Hungary]] (1701&ndash;1723), who enjoyed a brief career in music before being sent to live in a [[convent]]; and [[Rita and Cristina Parodi|Rita and Cristina]] of [[Parodi]] of [[Sardinia]], born in 1829. Rita and Cristina were dicephalus tetrabrachius (one body with four arms) twins and although they died at only eight months of age, they gained much attention as a curiosity when their parents exhibited them in [[Paris]].

[[Image:Bunker Grave.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Grave of Eng and Chang Bunker near [[Mt. Airy, North Carolina]]]]Several sets of conjoined twins lived during the nineteenth century and made careers for themselves in the [[performing arts]], though none achieved quite the same level of fame and fortune as Chang and Eng. Most notably, [[Millie and Christine McCoy]] (or McKoy), pygopagus twins, were born into slavery in North Carolina in 1851. They were sold to a [[showman]], J.P. Smith, at birth, but were soon [[kidnap]]ped by a rival showman. The kidnapper fled to [[England]] but was thwarted because England had already banned slavery. Smith traveled to England to collect the girls and brought with him their mother, Monimia, from whom they had been separated. He and his wife provided the twins with an education and taught them to speak five languages, play music, and sing. For the rest of the century the twins enjoyed a successful career as "The Two-Headed Nightingale" and appeared with the Barnum Circus. In 1912 they died of [[tuberculosis]], 17 hours apart.

Giovanni and Giacomo Tocci, from [[Locana]], [[Italy]], were immortalized in [[Mark Twain]]'s short story "Those Extraordinary Twins" as fictitious twins Angelo and Luigi. The Toccis, born in 1877, were dicephalus tetrabrachius twins, having one body with two legs, two heads, and four arms. From birth they were forced by their parents to perform and never learned to walk, as each twin controlled one leg (in modern times [[physical therapy]] allows twins like the Toccis to learn to walk on their own). They are said to have disliked show business. In 1886, after touring the [[United States]], the twins returned to [[Europe]] with their family, where they fell very ill. They are believed to have died around this time, though some sources claim they survived until 1940, living in seclusion in Italy.

The life of [[Abd Manaf ibn Qusai]] includes a legend that he separated his conjoined sons with a sword.
