Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[membersstand]

Now I see what you meant !! Now how the hell can you score a century against your own Team !!!

That's a curly one Mate !!

A few people have played for more than one test team...

Jon Edrich?

Him again ?!

 

[JASON]

Yeh sorry about that Jason. I realised today when Dan got me to read the rules of SJS format so I thought I'd read these ones as well. I guess I'm also responsible for misleading Burkey and Bookie. Should we get it back on track ?

Lets finish this one and return to regular format from here on end.

 

[JASON]

MC Cowdrey?

Nope.

And not John Edrich either !

Jason u have to accept memberstand answer bannerman was the first one how can u say no with some flimsy reasoning

 

[JASON]

wat is the regular format?

Question posted and others post 1 or 2 possible answers. The questioner acknowledges the correct one as winner. And the winner posts next question. If no one attempts an answer for 24 hours (ie the question is tough or vague ) then questioner can and should give clues . But no questions to guide to the answer like in SJS format .

 

[Burpey]

Boycott

OK, Mate. I'll heed your call. We will give it to membersstand .

*curses himself for not wording question properly*

The answer I was looking for was Ken Barrington , who scored centuries against 7 Test playing countries up until then. (subsequently SL, Zim and Bangla have become test nations.)

So its membersstand turn to post next question!!

 

[Burpey]

I posted a reply in the previous page! Maybe it was not clear. Burkey scroll a few pages back and see the questions as they were and the answers as they were posted and you will figure it out !! Not complicated Mate !

You are right . It was the first Test Australia V England June 1899 Nottingham.

i forgot the exact match i will try to find out soon
but the first declaration was surely before 1900

 

[membersstand]

Sorry I was away for a while - Is it my turn now ?

 

[Burpey]

Here you go - it was in fact 1893, 17-19 July 1893 and Stoddart was the first Captain to declare an innings closed.

England 334 Australia 269. Since it was only a 3 day Test, one suspects Stoddart declared to force a result at 8/234 , but alas rain intervened and prevented play after lunch 3rd day .

My previous answer of 1928 was the first occasion a declaration happened in a Test in Australia!!
