A CRICKET QUIZ TO WATCH THE TEST MATCH TODAY

[spell_check]

Ok, India scored 7d 705 and 2d 200 odd, Australia scored 397 and 7/440 odd, so I'll upgrade that guess for 30) to 1747

correct

Sorry, make that the answer to no.19, and not 18 or 30.

That Test was the 2nd highest aggregate of runs scored in a 5 day Test match; the record was Australia vs West Indies in 1968/69 in Adelaide.
