20/20 Cricket Trivia (to mark 20/20 World Cup)

[JASON]

Pretty sure it was Ian Harvey, for Gloucestershire

Yes it was in 2003 ! Warwickshire V Gloucestershire . Your turn .

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fair enough.

Of the 15 players in the Pakistan World Cup squad, which player has scored the most runs in all official Twenty20 cricket, including the highest domestic level?

Indeed (Y)

OK, this might kill the thread, but anyway...three players from associate member nations of the ICC played on the very first day of Twenty20 cricket, on 13 June 2003. Only two of them have played ODIs for their nation, and only one of them have been selected to play at the Twenty20 World Championship. Which three players?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm I'll have some guesses.

Dougie Brown, Collins Obuya, ten Doeschate, Zuiderant, Blain, Hamilton, Joyce, Morgan.

All three are among them.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Well Blain, Hamilton and Obuya will presumably be at the Twenty20 World Cup. It could be any of those three but it's most likely to be Hamilton I suppose.

One of the others is probably Dougie Brown, I'll go for Joyce for the last one, hoping he's the only one who hasn't played in an ODI for his native country - I think the others have all played in World Cups which would mean they've played ODIs.

Joyce is right. Scored a golden duck off Jason Ormond, who took the first Twenty20 five-for, and also held a catch.

However, though Warwickshire played on the opening day, Brown is wrong. As is Hamilton.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Collins Obuya had a short unsuccessful stint at Warwickshire around at that time, so I'll go for him then.

Yup. Did ok in Twenty20 though. Took a five-for. (Though it was as Glamorgan imploded in chase of 182.)

Since you've already mentioned it and there's just three left to guess, I guess I can say the last one is Zuiderent for Sussex, just to keep the quiz moving. Your turn.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Ok, 3 Man of the Matches in England's 5 domestic Twenty20 Cup finals are involved in the Twenty20 World Cup (ie they're in the squads of 15). Name the 3.

 

[chaminda_00]

Ryan McLaren this season, Maddy last year for the Foxes. I'm pretty sure it was Greame Smith when he played for Somerset.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Maddy and Smith are right, McClaren isn't in the World Cup so there's still one left.

 

[chaminda_00]

Hodge isn't in the Australian squad, don't tell me James Ormond made the England squad?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hodge isn't in the Australian squad

He is, tbh.

Tharmi should ask the next question, he got two of three + mentioned the third.

 

[cpr]

I'll hazard a guess at Snape, usually gets raved about in 20/20, cbf checking if he's actually played in a final though

ATWA over tharmi asking next
