Spell_checks' cricket quiz

Postby spell_check » Sun Dec 04, 2005 12:46 am

I have done a couple for SANFL, now time for an International Cricket Quiz!

1. Who did Muttiah Muralitharan dismiss to claim his first Test wicket?

2. Which past Australian player holds the best ODI bowling average? (With a minimum of 50 wickets)

3. Name 3 players who have been dismissed on 99 in Test matches twice.

4. Which player (reportedly) holds the record for the youngest to debut in a Test match?

5. It's a well known fact that Australia beat England by 45 runs in both the first ever Test match played, and the commemorative match 100 years later. Name the not out batsman at the end of each match.

I know what you mean Jimmy, and it is correct. Craig McDermott was Muralitharans' first Test wicket in 1992.

Blewett was dismissed on 99 twice. So it's either Slater or Atherton, and another one to add as well.

No. I think it happened to him once, but definitely not twice.
