Not bad. Top half is an improvement.

Honestbharani a freak.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Oh man, I am so crap at this.

Very interesting trivia.

 

[zaremba]

GF incredibly close with the breaker

 

[kingkallis]

3 and 5 I missed!!

 

[weeman27bob]

About time I hit the bottom of the table.

 

[G.I.Joe]

About time I hit the bottom of the table.

At least you've got Tuma to keep you company.

 

[Cabinet96]

Never got round to doing the answers. Only would have got Jonty Rhodes right. Would have gone for 5,500 for the Tie Breaker.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

GF has a really good memory for numbers.

 

[Furball]

GF has a really good memory for numbers.

Haha, my first tie-breaker attempt I was well off because I forgot to add in my Test estimate.

I'm assuming not all of India and Sri Lanka's recent ODIs have full international status? Can't think of any other reason why Himmanv's guess is so high.

 

[Spikey]

3. GingerFurball - 7/10 (5,530)
4. Spikey - 7/10 (5,313)

Oh come on

 

[Furball]

3. GingerFurball - 7/10 (5,530)
4. Spikey - 7/10 (5,313)

Oh come on

 

[honestbharani]

lol.. I just guessed 3000 ODIs, 2000 tests and 500 T20s.. I know there were 2000 tests and the rest was sort of extrapolating and intrapolating from there...

 

[honestbharani]

Neil Adcock

 

[kyear2]

Great Pick.

 

[Himannv]

I'm assuming not all of India and Sri Lanka's recent ODIs have full international status? Can't think of any other reason why Himmanv's guess is so high.

I panic when people throw unexpected questions at me. Probably the reason I suck at exams and all.

 

[kingkallis]

[kingkallis]
