7) Every ground is correct apart from North Sydney. However, not all grounds are named, and I can't tell you how many more, because that would answer no.6 ;) A clue to one of those grounds is that you need to name the ovals in Hobart.
9) Correct
10) They did beat England 2 times in Australia, but twice is not the right answer.

I did too. :). I suppose because no-one else has had a go, I made it a fraction easier. Anyway, I'll give away the answer to 6 in order to help with 7. The answer is 17.

7) Yes, TCA Ground is the other in Hobart, and Bendigo is not one of the other country grounds. There were two others in the World Cup in 1992 that you have not named yet.
10) Is correct as Zimbabwe also beat West Indies in 2001 at Sydney.

You've already said Launceston, but Ballarat is another venue. So there's one World Cup venue to go and another venue.

Not that pair; they have met 13 times on Australian soil but two other pairs are above them.

Correct; 87,182 was the attendance. It is also the highest attendance for an ODI in Australia.

You still have only half of the question correct - West Indies is one of the teams, but not England or New Zealand.
