This guy is a machine when it comes to cricket knowledge - has he ever got a question wrong? :eek:

I have a feeling that they are given the answer, I have only ever seen them get one wrong.
One of them knows the answer and gets the other two to answer it. Chappelli is very knowledgable though.

What would be the point in that?

The person asking it knows the answer, Chapelli isn't the one asking them he just knows it all. I saw him name Ian Fleetwood Smith, and name the year, venue, opposition, how many overs he bowled and a rough guess at the opposition score, was incredible.

I think Chappel knows a lot but some of it, I reckon they are given it. For example, the one today, I think he knew the person but not the game, year etc.

Only one knows, they are not given an answer, what would be the point, seriously?

The other day the question was "what year did Adelaide first host a test" and Chappelli missed it by ten years.
Answer was 1884 and he said 1894.
But I was surprised they didn't get Gregory as the most common surname in Aussie cricket. I knew that straight away. Chappelli comes from a famous cricketing family who lived on a diet of cricket and more cricket if you read any of the Chappell Bros biographies. Not surprised how knowledgeable he is.

One of the CH 9 stuff-ups showed that these blokes are shown the answer during the ad break and then they do the question
Unfortunately they forgot to put it down when the coverage was back on and everyone knew the answer before they put the question up
It's only interesting when they don't know the answer
