Ok - an idea during the World Cup - I'll ask a couple of questions regarding world cup history and anyone who gets one right has to ask another question ( sort of a chain mail cricket quiz) - So here are the first two -
Q.1 In the first 7 World Cups (75-99), only 4 batsmen have scored more than 1000 runs - name the 4.
Q.2 Which batsman has scored the most centuries in the World Cup (75-99)?:rolleyes: :confused:
q1. Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh
q2.

Already answered but Ganguly played in the ODI series in Australia just prior to the 92 World Cup yet wasn't selected in the squad. He's been playing long enough such that he could have been a 6th.
