[edit] Questions

[edit] Q441

I am invoking Rule 3 to get things going. --Blowtorch 10:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

What is the highest innings total in test cricket when the team scored the same number of runs in both the innings and in which match did this happen? --Blowtorch 11:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

A clue, my dear old thing? WillE 22:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Can't really give a clue without giving the whole thing away can I? I'll say this, the match was played in the recent past and is part of one of cricket's great rivalries. --Blowtorch 06:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
The 2nd Test match between India and Pakistan at Kolkata 16-20 March 2005. India scored 407 in both the innings.
Seems alright from the clues but I am not sure if this one is the highest innings total. [1]. --Riddick 07:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, that is correct. Riddick gets the next question. --Blowtorch 08:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Q442

Who was the first victim of a third umpire and not a run out?? -- Riddick 05:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Damien Martyn? [2] WillE 08:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
No. I don't think so. He was the first Australian though. -- Riddick 09:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Shoaib Mailk? WillE 22:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Sachin Tendulkar Jonesy 22:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Nopes. None of them.
Please provide a reference to the match as well. -- Riddick 15:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Clue. This performance of the bowler who took the wicket was and still is his career best performance. -- Riddick 20:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Was it Colin Miller stumped by Adam Parore off Daniel Vettori in the test match at Eden Park in 2000? Jonesy 09:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Or Khaled Mashud stumped by Adam Gilchrist off Stuart MacGill in the test match at Narayanganj Os Stadium in 2006? Jonesy 09:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
No. None of them. -- Riddick 14:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you give us anyhting else? Nation, year perhaps? Please? к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 14:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Was it at a Sharjah event? WillE 21:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
No it is not a Sharjah event.

Clue. It happened in the final of a tournament. And when it happened, third umpires were not consulted for anything other than runouts. not even for catches taken cleanly, boundaries or anything.

Roland Holder Tintin 07:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
If it didn't occur before 23 Dec 2000, then it would actually be Cathryn Fitzpatrick [3], but that doesn't match your best figures clue. The-Pope 11:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Time to put us out of our misery I think. WillE 17:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Tintin gets it. Roland Holder was given out bowled. After he played the ball, the ball rolled on to the stumps and the bails were off. No one saw it happening. The keeper saw the bails off and appealed. It was referred to the third umpire and subsequently given out. Kumble took 6/12 in the match. [4] Over to you. -- Riddick 05:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Nice question! I don't think I heard about that one. Stephen Turner (Talk) 09:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cricket/Quiz/archive3#Q_52 Tintin 11:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah. It's just my memory that's at fault then. Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Roland Holder is one of stubbiest cricketer biographies I have ever seen (although the ones that keep appearing on talk pages run it close, and it does have an infobox). Anyway, this anecdote should certainly be mentioned - nothing about it on his Cricinfo profile, for example.[5] -- ALoan (Talk)

Tintin, Next question please. Riddick 07:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Common, tintin.. its so long... [bujiarun]

[edit] Q443

Sorry. Who has the highest individual score among those who have the same highest score in both Tests and ODIs ? Tintin 07:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Andrew Symonds - 156? --Bedders 07:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay. I was thinking of those who have completed their career but Symonds' 156 is better than Krish Srikkanth's 123. Over to you. Tintin 07:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Q444

Which test batsman was described as "an over-promoted bundle of fun, a welcome addition, but not a huge contributor" --Bedders 14:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

A guess - Ollie? WillE 17:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Nope, nice thinking though. Clue: he scored a memorable test match hundred in a losing cause shortly afterwards --Bedders 18:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Ajit Agarkar? Scored a wonderful hundred at Lord's after Both (I think) said he was a waste of space! But I'm still guessing! WillE 20:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Or it could be Andrew Flintoff! WillE 20:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Sounds like a pretty apt description of Derek Randall. Johnlp 23:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Over to you Johnlp, Robin Marlar said it for the record, in the build up to the centenary test just before Randall made 174 :) --Bedders 05:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Q445

Sorry to be slow. On a tour when he made 3,782 runs, what bowling feat did Donald Bradman also achieve? Johnlp 20:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I can only imagine he managed to fluke topping the bowling averages on the tour too. In the 1930 Ashes He managed 12 wickets at 25 runs each in the tests. Though not on tour, rather back home in 1938/39 he did manage the perfect bowling figures of 1 ball bowled, 1 wicket, 0 runs, ave 0.0 for the season. --LiamE 21:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

No, not that tour. The number of runs might give you a clue that the tour wasn't all first-class cricket. Or indeed any. Johnlp 21:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

He took a six-for, including a hat-trick, on tour to the US and Canada in 1932. Raven42 02:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

That's the tour, and the bowling. But a six-for isn't all that special and there was one particular aspect of this one that was a bit different... So you're nearly there, but not quite. Johnlp 06:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah. The six wickets were in one (eight-ball) over. Raven42 08:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

That's the one. Well done and over to you. Johnlp 08:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Q446

Which international team used five designated wicketkeepers in a calendar month? Raven42 11:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

England used 4 in one match - French, Athey, Taylor & Parks. Richards was the wicketkeeper for the last ODI a week before, all in July 1986 --Bedders 14:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry. I'm looking for players that started the match as wicketkeeper. Raven42 10:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
India. (You didn't say I had to name the month! :o) ) 164.36.142.217 10:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
