Questions
Q721
Sorry for the delay; my girlfriend, for whatever reason, believes that there are more important things to do than write quiz questions. I thought I would continue the Kenneth Burn theme from my last question. Besides being famous for that moment on the ship taking the Australian team to England when he wandered up to team management, cleared his throat, and said "there's probably something you should know about my wicket keeping experience", Burn also holds an Australian first-class record. What is it? --Roisterer (talk) 00:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- He made the highest score for his team in both his first and last first-class innings. SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 03:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Damn, I thought he was the scorer of Tasmania's first First-class century, but then I spotted CJ Eady, so desperately looking for a reward for my efforts I'll say he was the first Tasmanian captain to score a century. Pffft. --Travis Basevi (talk) 06:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's neither. I would think that someone else has surely gotten the highest score for his team in their first and last innings, while he may have been the first Tasmanian cpatian to score a century, it's not what I am after. What I am after is century related though. --Roisterer (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- He was 45 when he hit his only other century in 1908 - is that an Australian first-class record for the eldest century scorer? --Travis Basevi (talk) 11:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I thnk that's close enough: Burn remains the oldest Australian to score a first-class century in Australia. --Roisterer (talk) 11:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- He was 45 when he hit his only other century in 1908 - is that an Australian first-class record for the eldest century scorer? --Travis Basevi (talk) 11:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's neither. I would think that someone else has surely gotten the highest score for his team in their first and last innings, while he may have been the first Tasmanian cpatian to score a century, it's not what I am after. What I am after is century related though. --Roisterer (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Q722
What's the record here? Riaz Afridi 66, Matthew Hoggard 65, Jimmy Anderson 64, Sanath Jayasuriya 64, James Kirtley 63. --Travis Basevi (talk) 13:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I enjoyed it a great deal when the Pakistanis hit Jayasuriya for 64 in the 20/20 World Cup. A check of Afridi's career reveals a 4-0-66-1. Guess that should be sufficient. Tintin 15:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Q723
Who was, for two decades, the only person to score a hundred on debut for India in women's Test matches ? Tintin 07:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The Highest score on Debut for india in woman's test is Chanderkanta Kaul's 75 or is any Trick involve in this Q. . .? Bharath Bharath628 (talk) 07:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I assume it's because a match (or matches) was either added to the current set of Tests or removed from it, or perhaps there was a case of mistaken identity. I do note that Sandhya Agarwal got a hundred in her second match in 83/84 but I doubt there was any problems with the scoring in that series, and less likely it took 20 years to correct the error. The main series I know of with poor scoring was WI v Ind in 76/77 (the 6th Test is still incomplete) but I can't seem to make a connection there. Consider me curious! --Travis Basevi (talk) 08:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Travis is on the right track. Tintin 10:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Aha! If you take away that entire West Indies series (and I think nothing other than the team scores and results were known for some time) then Shanta Rangaswamy would have been considered to have made a ton on debut [1] --Travis Basevi (talk) 13:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Right. The WI matches were given Test status only c.2000 and Ms Rangaswamy had a century on debut till then. Tintin 14:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Q724
84 players have had this honour which has occurred a total of 114 times, most recently by Zaheer Khan, Daren Powell, Mohammad Sami, Chaminda Vaas, Steve Harmison, Matthew Hoggard, Pedro Collins. What is it? --Travis Basevi (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- And to remove an avenue for confusion I better say the first player was Ted Peate. --Travis Basevi (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- All petulantly announced premature retirement from ODIs? Coat! WillE (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- A coat on a day like today? The most anyone has done this is a somewhat surprisingly small 4 times by both Fred Trueman and Alec Bedser. --Travis Basevi (talk) 10:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wicket in the first over of a Test match ? Tintin 10:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- To nip in on that theme, is it a wicket with their first ball of a series? Obviously with Harmison in the list I assume that I'm wrong. KingStrato (talk) 17:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- All petulantly announced premature retirement from ODIs? Coat! WillE (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
"First ball of a series" is coincidentally related in recent times and why I listed Peate as the very first player to remove the confusion. It's not an obscure micro-stat - you can find the total (and list) of 114 from using Statsguru. --Travis Basevi (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strangely, no Australians in the list...or is that just a coincidence? SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 19:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- A matter of going back far enough. McGrath has done it twice. Lillee has done it 3 times. --Travis Basevi (talk) 19:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- 3 in 4 balls? WillE (talk) 19:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, it's an achievement you can easily see from a basic scorecard. --Travis Basevi (talk) 19:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- 3 in 4 balls? WillE (talk) 19:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- A matter of going back far enough. McGrath has done it twice. Lillee has done it 3 times. --Travis Basevi (talk) 19:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- First ball in a Lord's test match SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 20:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Spot on, and my panic over the ambiguity was that Lord's has hosted every first Test of a series in England for the last several years. Over to Watching Turtle's Friend. --Travis Basevi (talk) 20:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Q725
What does this sequence of 10 numbers refer to - 0,1,0,5,2,3,12,7,28,53? SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 19:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
3-0 (Richie Benaud) 4-5 Pervez Sajjad(?) 5-2 (The Black Prince) 6-3 (JJ Lawson) 7-12 (Harmy), 8-7 (Geo Lohmann) 9-28 (Geo L again) and 10-53 (Jim Laker). Best analysis per wickets taken. Surpised no-ones ever taken 2-0! WillE (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, you cracked it without needing a clue. Of course, for wickets 1 and 2, there are many contenders - that's why I guess you left them out in your answer. Over to you, WillE. SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 00:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Ken Higgs's 4-5 is better than Pervez Sajjad because higgs bowled less overs, Frank Woolley,Collie Smith,Wasim Raja,Ramnaresh Sarwan and Daniel Vettori have had 2-0 in their life once.Bharath628 (talk) 07:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Woolley and co had 2 for 1. See http://stats.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;concededmax1=2;concededval1=conceded;filter=advanced;orderby=wickets;template=results;type=bowling;view=innings;wicketsmax1=2;wicketsmin1=2;wicketsval1=wickets Tintin 07:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- ooops did i wrote 2-0 instead of 2-1 . .? errrr thats a silly mistake ofcourse its 2-1, 2-0 had never happened in test cricket, though Andy Bichel did it in a ODI
- Silly me :-((( Bharath628 (talk) 12:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Could it not be argued that Sajjad's figures are better due to his lower economy rate? A bit like the strange (ish) situation to my mind that in some one-day matches that in the case of a tie the winner is the team losing the fewer wickets (as the other side played more forcefully, more players to "play themselves in etc") - more evidence for the bat being mightier than the ball? 86.130.133.64 (talk)
Q726
How did AB de Villiers recently emulate Rohan Kanhai? WillE (talk) 17:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Feels like a longshot, but I have checked, and they are the only two players with their highest scores in Test cricket being double-centuries in innings wins against India in India. --Travis Basevi (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- True, (he says, as if he had any idea that that was the case...) but not the kind of champagne moment I'm looking for. WillE (talk) 20:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- A clue? It relates to six hitting, and the method employed.WillE (talk) 11:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Method ? Falling sweep shot ? Tintin 13:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- A bit more than that....WillE (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- De Villiers ended up on his back after hooking Harbhajan Singh for six in the recent Test in Ahmedabad; Kanhai also ended up flat on his back after hitting a six in the 1963 West Indies victory over England at The Oval. Kanhai's falling hook shot was one of his trademarks, but usually he kept the ball on the ground. Johnlp (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, that's it. I'm surprised that de Villiers shot hasn't been replayed more! Over to JohnlpWillE (talk) 16:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Q727
Which internationally-renowned cricket character drove a yellow and black van that was known as The Wasp? Johnlp (talk) 17:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Does "character" imply that he was not actually renowned as a player? In which case was it someone like Neville Cardus? or John Arlott? Guessing wildly here, though! 81.159.188.249 (talk) 19:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, he was a famous player, though he did not play in Tests. And an umpire. And a character. Johnlp (talk) 19:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'll go with Dickie Bird then....22:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, not him. Johnlp (talk) 22:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Frank Chester? venkyiimb (talk)
- Nor him. My chap was a considerably more accomplished player than either Bird or Chester. He is the last person and only non-Test player to achieve a particular feat that has been done only 28 times in all. Johnlp (talk) 07:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- From the last hint, it must be Bill Alley (3000 in a season). Tintin 07:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- There is no list available online of players who have scored 3000+ in a season. Maybe, we should add one somewhere. Tintin 07:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Frank Chester? venkyiimb (talk)
- No, not him. Johnlp (talk) 22:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'll go with Dickie Bird then....22:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, he was a famous player, though he did not play in Tests. And an umpire. And a character. Johnlp (talk) 19:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Bill Alley it is, indeed. Well done. The van, to be precise, was a Morris 1000. Over to you, Tintin. Johnlp (talk) 12:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Q728
There are eight cricketers who completed 1000 runs before the end of May in an English season, and all of them are Test cricketers. Which non-Test cricketer once reached 1,000 runs on June 2nd, having begun the innings on a rain-shortened June 1st ? Tintin 14:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
will that be Cecil Wood. . . ? Bharath628 (talk) 14:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- You are forcing me to look up his career to check whether he did so ! No, it isn't him. Tintin 15:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
John Langridge scored 234* against Derbyshire at the start of June 1949 which took his season tally to 1013. --Travis Basevi (talk) 16:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- The unfortunate John Langridge scored 7 hundreds and a 95 by June 7, but could not get a Test match even though the tourists that season were the weak New Zealand (perhaps because he was too old ?). Well done and your turn. Tintin 01:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally, that link to the Charlie Hallows page says "Seven cricketers" but actually lists eight of them. Have corrected it now. --Travis Basevi (talk) 13:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Q729
To keep the theme going, out of the 9 occasions (Bradman having done it twice) that 1000 runs has been scored before the end of May, Edrich has the oddity of all of his being scored on the one ground (Lord's naturally). But what else is unique about his effort? --Travis Basevi (talk) 13:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Was he the only one to do it whilst having a scoreless game in this time? (He got a duck in one of his games that Middlesex only batted once) The-Pope (talk) 15:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's good enough for me - Edrich had the only duck out of all of them. Grace and Hallows had to do it by not even lowering themselves to an innings of single figures. Coincidentally, just to show how much I enjoy the quiz, it's now time to eat a dinner of shredded crispy duck. Beat that. --Travis Basevi (talk) 20:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Q730
These days the marketing men run the game and almost every test series has a trophy or the series is named after some past greats. But it wasn't always like this. Which suggestion of using an upcoming test match to celebrate a historical cricket milestone was rejected as the home team's cricket board did not want the extra pressures of a celebration of the past to disract its players from the present. The-Pope (talk) 16:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds like the sort of over-reaction that an India v Pakistan series would conjure up? Random stab at finding a decent anniversary - perhaps the 82/83 series in Pakistan being the 30th anniversary of Pakistani (and India v Pakistan) Test cricket? --Travis Basevi (talk) 17:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- It was a few years earlier & a few more years on the anniversary. The-Pope (talk) 16:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Semi-random stab: The 1970 Ashes, as the 75th anninversary of the Ashes?Abeer.ag (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Or was it 1979-80, when England seem to have expected (Wisden 1978) to spend some time in New Zealand as well as Australia, including the possibility of a New Zealand Test (which would have been 50 years since the first ones there) - but then didn't? Johnlp (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Same comment, a few years earlier and a few more years on the anniversary. If they end up celebrating the next major multiple years anniversary of this event in the coming years, (which will require either some rescheduling of planned tours or stretching the definition of anniversary) I'm taking all the credit! The-Pope (talk) 23:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- The next guess. Was something planned during the 1968 Ashes as it was the centenary of the Aborigines tour ? Tintin 00:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- I feel like the host of The Price is Right... earlier still, but you are getting much closer with that last guess. Expanding my stretching the definition of anniversary comment & looking at the dates involved a bit closer, the suggestion was to commemorate something that happened in January by playing a match in November or December, which also may have been a part of reasons for the rejection of the idea. The-Pope (talk) 02:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Another guess, The 1961/1962 Ashes, as the 100th anniversary of the English cricket team in Australia in 1861-62, the first ever tour to Australia?Abeer.ag (talk) 05:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Abeer.ag, Come on down!!! You're the next contestant! In December 1961 the head of the NSW Cricket board suggested that a test from the forthcoming Ashes tour (1962/63 actually) be decreed the centenary test, but the ACB wasn't interested. The-Pope (talk) 08:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Q731
Which new rule was introduced in the match between India and Pakistan at Jaipur on 02-10-1983?Abeer.ag (talk) 06:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wides and no balls counting against the bowlers analysis? KingStrato (talk) 07:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah yes, you're right. Was this question Googleable?Abeer.ag (talk) 07:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know. I just looked up the scorecard on cricinfo. Would you like to have another go? I'm fresh out of questions. KingStrato (talk) 10:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Q732
I'll ask one. Please don't google for this for at least a day.
A Knock-knock joke from 2007 went like this (please look up that link if you are unfamiliar with them) :
- Knock, knock!
- Who's there?
- X
- X who?
- X five runs.
Who is X and explain ? Tintin 12:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Misbah ("Missed by" five runs referring to the 20-20 world cup final). Take my word, I did not google it SeaTurtlesMate (talk) 14:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Blimey, I think my mackerel question has some stiff competition here. --Travis Basevi (talk) 18:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- IMNSHO, this one was much better than the mackerel :-) Over to Turtlewallah. Tintin 08:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Q733
Let me try to get the ball rolling again. What does this complete set of Test players have in common? Johnny Briggs, George Giffen, Ian Johnson, Carl Hooper, Jacques Kallis, Michael Kasprowicz. --Travis Basevi (talk) 16:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Clue: Jayasuriua was/is only a Test or two away from joining them (and breaking the long-standing record). --Travis Basevi (talk) 23:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Did not get out for the longest time/number of matches?? -- Riddick 10:57 , 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Rolling record for the slowest time taken to reach 100 test wickets? WillE (talk) 11:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- A few names there for that admittedly, but it's not it (although you could argue it's vaguely related). It involves the 100 wicket club, and is something else they all did that no one else with 100 wickets did. --Travis Basevi (talk) 12:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Rolling record for the slowest time taken to reach 100 test wickets? WillE (talk) 11:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Next clue: All but Briggs are on 2. Briggs counts but he's a relatively long way ahead of the rest. Jayasuriya would be ahead of him on 8 if he wasn't stuck 2 wickets short of 100. --Travis Basevi (talk) 00:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Briggs went 8 innings without bowling. Is this the longest that a player with more than 100 wickets has gone without bowling? KingStrato (talk) 06:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- It probably is, but it's not what I'm looking for (Imran playing several Tests as a batsman because of injury would be in the mix somewhere for that record too). You're getting very warm though. --Travis Basevi (talk) 09:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Most overs bowled before 100 wickets . . . ? Bharath628 (talk) 12:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Players with over over hundred wickets being used as the 5th bowler to be introduced into the attack in a match?Abeer.ag (talk) 14:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- No and no. It's about not doing something rather than doing something. KingStrato was certainly looking in the right area for Briggs. --Travis Basevi (talk) 15:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to post (this being my first post). Checked Kasprowicz and Jayasuriya - they've both taken <2 (and <3) wickets on a very large proportion of times. For example, Jayasuriya has >2 only 11 out of 129 innings, and Kasprowicz 13 times out of 73. So, is it most cumulative proportion of innings where a bowler has taken <3 wickets among those who have taken 100? For Hooper it's 11/114.Ovshake (talk) 17:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
ok this is it.These are the slow starters for wicket taking.Everyone barring briggs and jayasuriya took 2 matches to take their 1st wicket.Briggs took his first in 7th match,and jayasuriya has taken 8 matches to take his first wicketSumant81 (talk) 17:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well done Sumant. It's all the bowlers with 100 wickets who didn't take a wicket in their first two Tests. Briggs remarkably only bowled once in his first 6 Tests (for no wickets) and was still the first ever player to reach 100 wickets. Over to you. --Travis Basevi (talk) 21:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Q734
Ridley Jacobs is the only one to do it twice.George Lohmann was the first and Rajin Saleh the last known such instance. It also includes amongst others Alec Stewart , VVS Laxman , Rahul Dravid and Sarfraz Nawaz.What is the record that connects these players ?Sumant81 (talk) 05:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Clue .Its something which they all did in a match that none of their other team mates did. Sumant81 (talk) 01:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- "It includes among others"... can you throw some light on these "others"?Ovshake (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well its a pretty long list ,about 25 of them and couldn't include them all.The others also include more recently Abdul Razzaq ,Grant Flower & Stuart MatsikenyeriSumant81 (talk) 03:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- "It includes among others"... can you throw some light on these "others"?Ovshake (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
They all are the only cricketers to score in double figures in an innings when thier team-mates couldn't score more than 9, Ridly jacobs is the only person to do it twice Bharath628 (talk) 04:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thats correct.Good one. Over to you Bharath.
- Thanks, will ask one tonight Bharath628 (talk) 09:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Q735
94,97,207,148,96,112 what does these numbers have to do with cricket . . ? Bharath628 (talk) 16:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Scores on debut by West Indian Cricketers? 96 was Vic Stollymeyer and 112 was Andy Ganteaume 81.159.188.249 (talk) 17:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC) Sorry, that was me. Forgot to log in. WillE (talk) 21:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not the correct anwser but Close!! Bharath628 (talk) 18:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- The only thing I can find is Walters scored 112 when Stackpole scored 207. Something to do with the top two scores of the first innings of an Ashes?Ovshake (talk) 02:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
