Yet another Cricket Quiz!

Young Bangladeshi teenager killed in a car crash earlier this year. No idea on his name though

I reckon you are thinking of Sajjadul Hasan. He only played first class cricket.

And Tertius Bosch is another of the 5, Tassie.

Edit: You are right, roger, Manjural Islam Rana was killed in the same accident as Hasan. I didn't check up on that as I thought he only played first class cricket. You have stumped me!

woo hooo. worth getting those 63 other questions wrong now

It means you can answer no.4 without feeling embarrassed! Not that you should feel that way, in any case.

I'm out from here, without cheating.

[magpie in the 80's]

admit to reading through my cricket books was it one of the W.I. lowest 1st score innings 54?

That's what happened, but it's not what is unique about that Test.

game allover in just over 2 days or because it was the 100th test at lords?

No, that one lasted into day three. The all out for 54 has something to do with the uniqueness about the Test.

Sobers then for highest first hundred

That's the one. It's hard to see that record fall.

10 was the groundsman in south africa

[sasquatch]

1. Ben Hollioake

[smithy]

7 Ken Cunningham

5. They were all crap

[rod_rooster]

10. Glen McGrath?

More thinking overnight.

1 - Pommy bowler Neil Williams

[ORDoubleBlues]

6 Assuming I've got the right match, it was abandoned after only about an hour due to the dangerous nature of the pitch. Balls that were landing in the same spot were rearing up at a batsman's head or bouncing lower than the knees.
I suppose what was unique about it was that it wasn't abandoned due to weather conditions.

[spell_check]

magpie, no to both guesses

MAY-Z, not the groundsman, good try though. It is a player though; because of his bowling.

sasquatch - Hollioake is another, there is only one of the original players I had left now - Neil Williams is another I hadn't thought of!

smithy - correct

rod_rooster - that would be too easy an answer! And Glenn McGrath is incorrect, but you are on the right track. A clue - the match was played between West Indies and Zimbabwe.

ORDB - That match was in the previous series between the two teams, in the West Indies.

rod_rooster - that would be too easy an answer!

But i'm right so you really should say the 2 things they have in common

[rod_rooster]

So it was a bowler who bowled really well and went for stuff all runs. I am pretty sure that there was a tour in 2001 in Zimbabwe that involved Zim, India and WI and WI won the one dayers. So my guess is that it was a West Indian. It would have been one of their quicks so my guess would be Collymore.

There are varying degrees of crappiness.

It is a West Indian, but not Collymore.

[rod_rooster]

It is a West Indian, but not Collymore.

2001 hmmmmm my first thoughts are King and Dillon but i reckon it might be more obscure. I am still assuming it's a quick cos all West Indies spinners have always been part timers who were batsmen.

It's a quick, but nether King or Dillon.
