Cricket Quiz

[~GURU~]

Well i have seen this thing going on in other forums on BF and other places. It is a on-going trivia quiz and its been a real hit so i was thinking of starting one up on here, purely cricket based.

the first person will post the first question (me) and then you can either ask me questions which will either get a yes or no answer or you can have a guess. Only limit will be one guess per person per day. Who ever gets the correct answer will get to ask the next questions. So yeah just wondering if anyone was interested in starting this up?

Cheers

Rules

Only one person may post a question and until that question has been answered another question can not be started up.

People may ask any question but the only respone the questionaire can answer is Yes or No. If it has gone on for a while a clue can be given and if it is too hard the answer can be revealed and a new question asked.

You may only have one guess per Question and you must wait till the new Question has been asked before you can ask. If you have been frozen out of the Question then the Questionaire will just ignore you.

Have fun all

We had a fantastic one a while back. Jaymin just did all the questions. [Thread here].

I'll play this time, as long as Fred Yeomans doesn't. He wiped us off the face of the planet.

 

[Ricketts]

my complaint last time was too many randoms.

can we have less randoms this time?

 

[~GURU~]

well randoms are good, thats why you can ask questions. Well if a few Enjoy it im sure more will join in so here is the first question.

My name is George Giffen and i have an unique cricket record. what is this record?

you can ask questions but i will only reply with yes or no. if you have a guess at the answer and it is incorrect then you cant ask questions or guess again till it has been answered. First one to get the correct answer will get a turn. so good luck

First Class Record or Test Record?

 

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

That one stumps me,

How about an easier question to get started with

Who balled the ball and who took the catch that won Australia the world cup in 2003 in South Africa

 

[hirthy]

Boof took the catch, think Ooh Ahh Glen McGrath bowled it. I reckon Zaheer Kahn was the batsmen as well?
