Correct JBMAC. Your turn my friend

 

[JBMAC]

Who was the first Test Batsman to hit 6 sixers in an innings in a Test Match?

BTW he made 104* and it was against Australia and this record stood until Ian Botham equalled it in 1981 at Manchester.

 

[pasag]

Viv Richards?

 

[Pratters]

Hammond if I am not wrong. Akram broke the record with his 257 or some thing versus Zimbabwe in that crazy lower order partnership. Not sure.

 

[JBMAC]

Neither of the above answers are correct.Viv Richards did achieve the feat in 1975-76 series against Australia BUT NOT in a Test.It was a state game against West Australia.Hammond did not achieve the feat atll.

HINT......The Word First.Go looking......

Jimmy Sinclair in this game. (You said "go looking" ). He must have been able to hit the ball well considering the bats they had those days were made of balsa wood

Yeah, sounds like a hell of a sportsman:

"Sinclair not only excelled at cricket; he played rugby for South Africa and England, and was also a skilled hockey and football player."

OK, here's one:

Name the only 4 players who have played more than 100 test innings and have never been run out.

 

[Pratters]

Inzamam, Ganguly, Parore and Ranatunga.

 

[Fiery]

Inzamam, Ganguly, Parore and Ranatunga.

ahhh.......no Pratyush...but nice try

 

[JBMAC]

That's a difficult one fiery..ther is only about 45-50 players who have played more than 100 Tests and I think it will be 4 of those..
So my guess is Alec Stewart
Don Bradman
Geoffrey Boycott
Michael Atherton

100 innings not 100 tests mate

 

[JBMAC]

should put my reading glasses on eh??? How was my guess anyway?

 

[Goughy]

Just been browsing and came across the answer to this. Will not post as I guess its cheating. Will say that one of the 4 is Kapil Dev though

Bradman only played 52 tests and 80 Innings

 

[JASON]

Kapil Dev, Mudassar Nazar, Graeme Hick, Peter May

Question

Of all the International Cricketers, he looks like the guy who has bowled most Maidens over outside of Cricket , but he has definitely bowled the most Maiden Overs in Test Cricket (at least at the present time) ,who is that ?

 

[archie mac]

Warne?

 

[JASON]

Warne?

Yes. Your turn.
