NO.

I think since everyone is moving further and further away, I mightas well give the answer.

NewZealand have played the first odi for every calendar year, consecurively for each of the last ten years.

So what happened to the cricket quiz threads? Last post over two months ago...

 

[Engle]

Ok, without checking, which country scored the most number of Test double-centuries in the last quarter of the last century ( 1975 to 2000 ) ?

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll guess the Windies as Oz seems too obvious.

 

[Jamee999]

I'll do this logically.

South Africa - been out of it for most of the time
England - crap
New Zealand - can't manage to score 200 as a team...
Sri Lanka - spent a lot of the time being crap
Zimbabwe - spent the vast majority of the time being crap
Bangladesh - spent the whole time being crap
Pakistan - a bowling team, really

I'm going to go for India.

 

[Engle]

Good analysis....but no, neither WIndies nor India

 

[NUFAN]

I'll guess Sri Lanka.

Atapattu 6, Sangakarra 6 there'd be heaps more..

Even Brendon Kuruppu got a double!

 

[Engle]

Nope, not Sri Lanka.....I'm looking for most Test doubles scored between 1975 to 2000

 

[Jamee999]

Australia then (regretfully)

 

[nightprowler10]

I wanna say Pakistan, Mohsin Khan, Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Wasim Akram, off the top of my head.

 

[Engle]

Righto ! It's Pakistan with 20 double centuries

JMiandad(6), Zaheer(2), ShoaibMohammed(2), QasimOmar(2), MohsinKhan, TaslimArif, Mudassar, AmerSohail, SaleemMalik, WasimAkram, Inzi and IjazAhmed 1 each.

Followed by Aus (17), WIndies(13), India(11), England(9), SLanka(9), SAfrica(4), NZealand(3) and Zimbabwe(3)

Oh my bad, was thinking 75 to present.

Perhaps bumping this up might spark the topic again.

Heres a question for you - What was unusual about Lawrence Rowe's 302 for the West Indies against England in Bridgetown in 1973-74?

I think this too easy, but his debut?

Its not quite as easy as that. I think he made 214 on debut actually.
