World Cup Quiz

[29scott russell]

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)?

 

[Slax]

q1. Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh

q2.
