Trivia Question

[Mateyman]

What is the lowest score that nobody in test match cricket has ever been dismissed on?
EDIT: score, not acre

What is the lowest acre that nobody in test match cricket has ever been dismissed on?

Jo'burg would be the highest acres I would have thought, Bangladesh would probably be below sea level so I guess Chitagong.
Realise you mean score, no idea.

I'm gonna stab at 235, as I cannot recall a score of that, but I can numerous others up to there!

I have read this years ago - but in that time there have been plenty more big scores made.

I'm pretty sure it's in the 220s I think it was 228 (or did Kambli score that)? Ok - Kambli's scores were 224 and 227 - and I'm pretty sure one of those was a 'first time it happened' and then the news article mentioned 228. That's my guess.......

228?

Sorry, just to clarify, I think I phrased the question poorly. I meant "What is the lowest team score that nobody in test match cricket has ever been dismissed on?" - e.g. the lowest score a team has never lost a wicket on: clue: it is in the 600s

 

[Mateyman]

Although, I'll pose the second question as well (have found the answer to it). And it's not 228 or 235

 

[Wallaby]

Ok - that's tough - got absolutely no idea. I'd have to go through every scorecard with a team score of over 600 and check every fall of wicket.

It's not really something you take notice of - you remember the partnerships, but not the fall of wicket. Everyone remembers Bradman and Ponsford making 451 - buit I have no idea of either the score when they started or finished.

If anyone knows this (without research), I'll be stunned.

EDIT: Actually, I thought I'd have a glance at Cricinfo Statsguru - and it's really not to hard to set up the query and get the answer after all. I would never have known without that.

It's in the upper half of the 600s, if anyone is still to guess.

You can also feel free to stab at what you though the original question was - I've got the answer to that as well

 

[Marklar_33]

666

 

[Zach Package]

have a feeling the lowest individual score is 229.

as for the team one, going with 671

 

[Mateyman]

have a feeling the lowest individual score is 229.

We have a winner

 

[Marklar_33]

We have a winner

I couldn't think whose name correlated with 229, now I think it may be Belinda Clark

Which test cricketer was known as the 'One-eyed Norwegian' - and he really did have sight in only one eye.

Nuden (something like that) he also captained South Africa as well !


EDIT: checked Cricinfo it was Nupen

I'll ask a question - What was so unique abour Merv Hughes's test hat trick against the West Indies in 1988/89 - being over two innings isnt the final answer but helps

Over two games I think, Brisbane Test and Perth Test.

3 different overs wasn't it?

last ball of one over, first ball of the next which ended the innings, and the first ball of his second innings?

3 separate overs?

 

[Marklar_33]

Highest score of any batsman to be the 3rd wicket of a hat-trick. I'd like bowler, batsman and score, thanks

Winner winner chicken dinner !

Spread across three separate overs. With the last ball of his 36th over in West Indies' first innings Hughes had Ambrose caught at the wicket; off the first ball of his 37th over, Patterson was caught at cover point; and to the first ball of his first over in West Indies' second innings, Greenidge was leg-before. Hughes had to be told of his achievement, being unaware of it.

Test Matches I assume ??

 

[Marklar_33]

Yes

 

[Wallaby]

Without looking it up - it has to be Damien Fleming, Salim Malik, and - was it 235? (Fleming's test debut, too).

 

[Marklar_33]

Correct, bar the score of 237. I give you 9.5/10

 

[Wallaby]

Actually - a great trivia question based on Flemmo's hat-trick would be:

'Which Test Hat-Trick was interrupted by a scheduled drinks break'?
