Ashes Pub Quiz

[Adders]

big surprise the bloke who cheated is winning.

Why have you and cab got the same Avatar? Are you trying to disguise yourself as a decent poster???

Edit:

WTF....Dan as well??? This should be against the forum rules.......how are slow people like me supposed to keep up??

 

[Dan]

It's The People's Champ. The real question is why everyone else doesn't have it as their avatar.

He's just trying to deflect attention from his googling.

Team Challenge, Day 1

A good response, particularly from the English contingent, who between them contributed 21 different answers to Australia's 14.

Unfortunately for England, only 11 of the 21 players given have scored Ashes tons at the Gabba, whereas 13 of Australia's 14 have managed.

Therefore, Australia take the first point in the Team Challenge.

I might be a bit tired, but that was good

I decided to name the players who all made heaps of runs on the 1928/9 tour, under the basis that at least a couple would have made their scores in that year's Gabba Test.

Turns out there's a significant problem with that

Turns out I had an issue with trying to project forward for yesterday's play... but it did look like it would be good for batting.

 

[GIMH]

You let your country down

 

[Furball]

In fact there were more than 14 answers from the Aussies, I just ignored the ones that were blatantly wrong.

Like Ben Hilfenhaus.

I'll give you a clue then; Australia has rarely stopped crying about the series in question.

 

[Adders]

Now that is a great clue FB....

Hilfennaus was mine. I answered the example question about who played in the 2010 series opener. In hindsight, not the brightest.

Marto getting sawn off in the 05 Ashes?

 

[The Sean]

Absolutely not.

 

[The Sean]

Absolutely not.

Great - assumed this would be the case so sent my answers through last night anyway.

Adelaide Oval (1)
Riggings

stoked i got a hole in one for a question tbh

 

[four_or_six]

Hard to work out what to do - sometimes what you think is an obvious one is a low score, sometimes everyone goes for it. Is it best to take a risk and maybe be wrong, or go for what you think is obvious and then hope others don't go for it?
