More than seven I suspect. Clem Hill was captain for a bit, I'd be stunned if Harvey and Morris didn't get at least one Test each.

The seventh one was Rod Marsh he did captain Australia once but if there are more I would love to know then i will fire it back at the guys at the cricket club who think they know all about cricket.

Another question:
Who are the player(s) to have batted on every day of a Test match?.
I know of 2 but could be wrong.

I always thought Kim Hughes did it in the Centenary Test played in England, it was a draw bcos it rained.

*edit he made 117 and 84 from memory.

BT knows what a proud leftie I am... I'm ashamed to have missed those two.

Courtesy of an Abbostford Stout longneck bottle-top.. who is the first player to have scored FOUR Test centuries in successive innings? It took my cricket-mad boss about six goes to get this...

81 as well.

Both were suspended in 85 I think, Clem certainly was.

Make it 12 with the late David Hookes. Yeah I looked that one up on a hunch.

Hang yer Sievehead!

Knowing you I gotta ask is it a trick question? It's not a bloke who conceeded 4 centuries from the bowling crease or sommat?

I know Border scored back to back tons & ihe did that in back to back tests it'd be him.

This trivia question has been around for awhile, but I like it, so here goes:

Name the last player to play both SANFL league football and Test Cricket. I guess it helps a little if you follow SANFL footy.

I suspect Border's twin 150s against the taxi drivers might be unique, but I assure you the 4 centuries is a batting record and you can safely rule out Robert Croft's bowling.

Can't remember specifically if it's the first or only time a bloke has tonked 4 on the trot... so I've gone with "first". Didn't play that many Tests this bloke.

Fingleton for Australia. A couple have done it. Who is the only one to have made five on the trot?
