Marcus you may want to remove your answers before people google the topic and find them if you had planned on entering so they don't take advantage of your efforts - I'm also doing the TWC quiz but I'd completed 1-10 already. The first 10 are quite straight forward, 11-22 are still reasonably traceable to get the answer but the rest are really tricky. Hint that it would be especially good if the answers to 2 and 7 weren't here because most people on other forums discussing the quiz have that answer wrong. ;)

The following ones are proving especially difficult to find:
19 In the 1970s, what practice, now commonplace, was considered so objectionable by two of the opposition that they refused to play in a test against England?
25 Why did Don Tallon receive no applause on scoring a first class century?
33 Which black teenagers famous for invading the pitch at Lords, appeared in Wisdens obituaries during the 1960s?
34 Which batsman, taking strike right handed in fading light, adorned the cover of a 1970s UK top-10 album?
36 Which fictional cricketer in the 1950s; made a century on test debut; once stonewalled for 6 runs between lunch and tea; and signed off, lbw with an emotional second ball duck?

Cheers for the advice Somerset, I wasn't actually planning on entering. If we get enough answers then I may do so and offer up the prize to CW or something. Wouldn't feel right benefiting from something I offered up to the rest of CW.

Since this thread is seeing some traffic of late, let me try and get in one of the regular types of Trivia quizzes.

Who said this and about who ?
"He will be dressed in white, with his splendid neck bared to the wind, standing on short green grass against a blue sky; he will be waiting for the ball, the orchestra to strike up."

i certainly agree that these are the more tricky ones. it is amazing how many people get the first few wrong and just plump for the obvious answers
