The Cricket Quiz

Wrong again, this one is a toughie so I've been trying to think of a clue that would not totally give it away. Lets just say that if he was shown on a channel 9 line up he would have a ball next to his name.

 

[Willow]

Cairnsy !!

 

[imported_JoeD]

The one and only. Did he get much press over there for getting under Ponting's skin? He's been named vice-captain and I expect him to have a huge influence on this world cup.

You're up Willow

 

[Willow]

Well that was a lucky guess.
"Did he get much press over there for getting under Ponting's skin? "
I didnt see anything about it. But then again Iwasn't watching for it. I think some of this rivalry stuff resides in the imagination of journalists.

[imported_midas]

Protest entered ! swab required ! Where,s that bloody bottle ?
Joe,according to cricinfo,S Waugh has taken 14v catches in 33 WC games,Kumble has taken 13 in 14 games and Cairns has taken 12 in 20 games.
Does he get a start just for being a Kiwi?

 

[imported_midas]

Just in case the stewards dismiss the protest,Harris,s middle name is Zinzan ,as in Brooke.

 

[imported_JoeD]

I stand corrected, apologies to all, Midas takes it out on both accounts.

 

[imported_midas]

Once again,this breaks the 15 year rule,but you should get it.
Who was the bowler who dismissed Bradman in his last innings in Tests?

 

[Willow]

[imported_midas]

[Willow]

In 1998-99, Mark Taylor scored 334 runs(declared)in an innings equaling Don Bradmans record.
What did he get in the second innings?

Thought I was going crazy re the Cairns question, but I found out why I made the mistake. Sometimes it shows this page and sometimes it shows the updated page. Very odd. This is from : http://www.cricket.org/link_to_database/STATS/WC/FIELDING/WC_MOST_CAREER_CATCHES-FIELDER.html
