Trivia Question

[YOTC]

How about "Yeah, Hughes was the Banana I was kicking in. You've all pretty much nailed them all "

This is a cricket site after all. While I'm on the subject, is anyone else annoyed when they hear commentators saying " --- needs to step up to the plate ..."?

And why is everybody a 'batter' now? Is 'batsman' now un-PC? If ever a lady plays for the Australian senior cricket team, I will use that new terminolgy!

This is a football site after all.

At least my speak suits my avatar!

Indeed it does. One of my happiest baseball memories is seeing Randy J come in to close out Game 7 of the 2001 WS. Always good to see the Yanks lose the big one!

Doubly so when it's the D'Backs

Why does Mudassar Nazar hold a unique place in Test cricket history? This is not related to having the slowest Test century of all time.

 

[worbod]

It was something Nazar did in 1978-79.

Can't think of this one? I know he held the (joint) partnership test record with Javed for a while.

Any more hints?

 

[worbod]

It happened in the second Test on Pakistan's short tour of Australia. This was the final Test of the 1978-79 season.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He's the only bloke to get the wicket of Jeff Moss?

 

[worbod]

You're in the right area, but look at the second innimgs, and why it's significant it was the final Test anywhere for 1978-79.

 

[Marklar_33]

Was he the bowler when Hilditch was HTB?

 

[sherb]

You're in the right area, but look at the second innimgs, and why it's significant it was the final Test anywhere for 1978-79.

He was the last man to bowl a ball in a test match played with 8 ball overs.

Ie he bowled the last ball of that test match, and that test match was the last one to be played with 8 ball overs.

In other words, I know what I am trying to say but just can't express it properly.

 

[worbod]

Sherb gets the chocolates. And there are some places already selling Easter eggs.

What quirky occurrence did Guy Whittall experience in the three day game against Canterbury on Zimbabwe's tour of New Zealand in 2000-01?

 

[pluga_4]

all i can find on that is whittall stood in as captain after heath streak was a late withdrawal ??

You need to cast your golden eye more carefully over the scorecard.

good one.....c.James b. Bond

 

[worbod]

I've always felt Whittall should have scored three more runs before being dismissed, thus making his score (double 0) 7.

 

[Wallaby]

Not quite as good as 'Lillee - caught Willee, Bowled Dilley'.

Also reminds me of the Australian Racehorse from the 90-00s - Bold Lilly. So called because his sire (or dam) was Courtmarsh.

And since we are doing strange scores - what was sigbnificant about this match. Something happened for the first time ever in test matches, and has only happened once since - in another test, nearly 100 years later.

[saj_21]

What is the lowest test score a batsmen has not been dismissed on?

hint also the same as a record score held by an Australian cricketer

 

[Slax]

had this in a trivia comp a few years back and it was 139, still not sure if that is the case though (have a nasty habit of remembering useless stats, but keep forgetting birthdays)

Nope keep guessing.

I heard this trivia stat on the ABC over the summer so i am guessing whoever wrote the quiz you attended was wrong to begin with.

Hint ...... the batting record was set in different form of the game

Going on that then I'll go with 219 (Sehwag's ODI record)

Close, you are right about the 200 scored in a one dayer, but it is an Australian that holds the record........
think which AUSTRALIAN holds ODI records
