Cricket Trivia

[Bazal]

IIRC correctly that test was played on a pitch that made the WACA one from a few years ago that everyone burst into tears over look like a vicious seamer....600 odd played 800 odd or something? 7 or 8 blokes made hundreds? Dreadful

TPB can ask the next one, he got both answers....plus I just like sneaking in and answering the odd one lol

 

[TheParraboy]

[TheParraboy]

I am a current player
I played my first test and my last test against the same country on the same dates, exactly two years apart
I have taken 5 wickets in total in both ODI and T20i matches

Who am I?

 

[TheParraboy]

I wasn't born in the country I represent
I have played against 7 nations in ODI, and only against South Africa have not hit a six yet

 

[steggz]

[TheParraboy]

Where's Barkely with the correct answer?

 

[Barkley]

I like this question. Just haven't had the time at work to research it.

The same date suggests to me a Boxing Day test or maybe a SCG test. But the same opponent, 2 years apart has got me stumped.

So I'm thinking the tests were played overseas.

 

[steggz]

I couldn't work it out, so I went to cricinfo, but it seems like there isn't anyone who matches the wickets part of the description...

 

[Barkley]

Is it Meg Lanning?

 

[steggz]

Ah, that might explain it...

 

[TheParraboy]

correct Barkely,

I was a bit surprised the womens game they don't play many tests

 

[TheParraboy]

I currently play international cricket, but haven't played a test match in well over 10 years

Over 160 internationals across all formats I have never hit a century, nor a half century, nor a quarter century in any innings.

I am male

I am not Australian

Who am I?

 

[Barkley]

Am I Ashish Nehra?

 

[TheParraboy]

correct Barkley, yet again

 

[Barkley]

Who am I?

I am a current player. I do not play for my country of birth. I have played over 100 combined Tests, ODIs and T20's. One of my two test 5 fa's is against my birth country.
