Sorry for the delay. Was really thinking about question 9, and lucky managed to get it, after a long time of thinking. Top question that Howe.

[Cabinet96]

Urghh, I knew I should have gone for Hick for question 5, and Greig for question 8. Pathetic attempt really.

 

[morgieb]

honestbharani

 

[marc71178]

God I'm dire (and did GF's trick in the tiebreak, only realising after I sent the answers)

 

[honestbharani]

got lucky with Lara and Viswanath.. Remembered the Hussey one after seeing the nationalities and the fact that they were all teams that Aussies played against recently. And knew the Ironmonger and 10/10 and Alec Stewart ones from other trivia stuff I have been reading..

 

[honestbharani]

Aubrey Faulkner

 

[Furball]

You sure about that tie-breaker? I tallied them up after I sent in my answers to see how close I was, and got 21,333.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Sunil Gavaskar for my next pick please

Charter 77 So Far

Sunil Gavskar
Viv Richards
Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Damn, I was about to have a guess and post Visvanath.

 

[Pothas]

Oh ****s sake, put 10/9 for the Verity question.

Pretty happy with the tiebreaker though, had to do maths and everything.

 

[Jarquis]

Would've got 5

 

[NUFAN]

I would have gotten 4 correct. It could have been 5 if I thought a little longer about the most runs HS under 200 question. I just assumed it was ME Waugh.

 

[Spikey]

Yeah Waugh was my first answer, but then I started thinking about it. Good thing the question wasn't asked 14 months ago 'cause I forgot all about Kallis

Elsewhere, my first thought was Lloyd, and then Greig, and then I went back to Lloyd

 

[kingkallis]

I will pick in 10 mins!

 

[kingkallis]

1. Jack Hobbs

[Himannv]

Lol at the answer to number 9.

 

[Johnners]

I would have gotten 4 correct. It could have been 5 if I thought a little longer about the most runs HS under 200 question. I just assumed it was ME Waugh.

Yeah same for me, momentarily thought Kallis but then remembered he'd carved up India 12 months or so ago, so figured it had to be Waugh. Thought Stewart was down closer to the 7000 run mark for some reason.
