Question 4 baffled me. I was sure it wasn't an Indian and i was sure it was longer than 508 minutes. After doing a little research to satisfy my curiosity i found i was right. You've got the right continent that the player comes from though.

Question 11 - i think he was stumped off a wide.

RR correct on Q11

the answer from this quiz i found for Q4 was sanjay manjrekar. i think they were asking which indian has the record for the slowest century in test cricket because i think the slowest by any player was mudassar from pakistan in 1977?

Correct. I read the question wrong. I thought you meant which Indian holds the record for the slowest century in Test cricket rather than what was the slowest test century by and Indian. Sorry for the confusion.
