I stand corrected on Charles Bannerman. 165 does sound correct now i think about it.

Don't think question 4 is Tim May though. I'm sure his best was 5/13 vs. West Indies in the Adelaide Test in 1992. if only it was 5/11

[RustyCage]

1) Martin Crowe is correct
2) Correct SC - it was Fred Sprofforth
3) Ambrose, Patterson, Greenidge
4) Not correct yet.
5) Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in the first test in 1998, then next two were rained out.
6) Charles Bannerman - 165* - Australia were on 166 at the end of day 1, Bannerman scored 126 of those runs. Only played two more tests.

Just question 4 to go now.
