Tie Breaker: How many runs were scored during the 2011 World Cup?

Why do you have to make it so hard.

Regarding no 5, do you mean T20 Internationals or T20 domestic?

 

[Furball]

I'm hoping T20 domestic, otherwise I've got that one wrong.

 

[Furball]

At least I remembered to count both sides in my answer to the tie-breaker this time.

edit: turns out I was way off.

 

[Howe_zat]

I did mean all T20, so domestic as well.

Are people not happy with this round? I didn't actually think it was harder than the previous two, but there's no point in everyone doing badly, or people getting frustrted and looking up the answers. I'll put another set of questions up tomorrow if there's a consensus not to use these questions.

 

[Pothas]

Keep them I say, as long as I got 1 then I am happy. Done it now anyway.

Just realised that I gave a ridiculously stupid answer to question 2.

First round was waaaaaaaaaaay harder.

Besides, they're only easy if you know the answers. I've struck lucky with one of the questions this round, couple of educated guesses and hopefully I'll get 5 or 6. It would be pointless if everyone got 9 or 10 in every round.

No, I've given my answers and it's too late to change the questions. They seemed completely fair enough to me anyway. Nobody said they had to be easy. And the tie breaker will sort the sheep from the goats if needs be.

Edit: now I've checked some of my answers I agree that we should abandon this round and try again. 2/10 if I'm lucky

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Got really lucky with one question, but for the rest it was all guess work. Quite a bit off for the tie breaker.

 

[Furball]

Question 9 is a great question

Worse round yet

 

[NUFAN]

Question 9 is a great question

Agree, it took be a while to think about the possibilities, but I had a light bulb moment.

 

[honestbharani]

guessed 2, no idea on 1 and knew the rest

 

[Jarquis]

Happy I finally got #9

 

[Spikey]

so I'm getting none of the first 4 right, pretty confident for the next 5, iffy about 10. tie-breaker probably horribly off too.

 

[Himannv]

Allan Donald to finish the round.

 

[Himannv]

Probably another last place finish for me although I think I knew a couple more this time.
