Q16 Is it to do with partnerships? NoThe Baconator said:
Clue - I have just realised the question is erroneous * There is another cricketer who actually holds the record namely Abdur Razzaq . The Sri Lankan falls short by one !
Apologies for the error .
Can any one say what the record is ?

Still no takers !
OK as mentioned before the question was slightly erroneous on my part.
The holder of the record is Abdur Razzaq of Pakistan. The Sri Lankan falls short by one.
The Test equivalent is held by 3 indivuals jointly . As already mentioned (I seemed to have made another blooper there) Syd Gregory and Wilfred Rhodes are two of the three,
The third individual is India's Vinoo Mankad.
Now it must be very easy .
Please state the record and which Sri Lankan falls short of the ODI record by 1 ?

Still no takers? I will solve it tomorrow if no one has (I hope)JASON said:Apologies for this error - It should have been Syd Gregory.
Nice Excuse !!SJS said:Batting at all positions in the batting order.
I was going to say that earlier but then saw your post naming Barnes and I thought I must be wrong
Call them clues do you ??
Anyway the Sri Lankan is not Vaas who has not batted 1 or 2.
The person I have in mind has only not batted in 1 position .

The following appeared in a newspaper in the mid 1800's. The writer was trying to help some kids who were being prevented from playing cricket by the local authorities.
Tastes differ: but for my part it does my heart good to see and hear these vigorous lads so earnest about their manly game. It shows that though the sons of exiles and traders, they still have running in their veins some of the old blood of (blank 1), and (blank 2), and (blank 3), whom we, after Greeks, prefer calling (Blank 4) and (Blank 5) and (Blank 6).
There Mr Editor, topics are few, the weather is hot; I have dropped the ball before your bat; it is for you to knock it with as much vigour as (not being a (blank 7) lad) can be expected of you.
Questions.
1. Which city/country was this newspaper published in ?
2. Fill either blanks 3 to 4 OR blanks 5 to 6 (which as you can tell are really the same in a way)
3. Fill Blank 7.
4. Guess the nationality of the writer
Those who have read the book from which this is taken need not reply.

I can not remember reading this in a book, so am right in saying the Country in not Aust?
Did it appear in the US of A ?
Pennsylvania perhaps ....
If above not correct then India ...
The writer is obviously English.
Guesses for Blank 4,5 or 6 - "Wog "
Guess for Blank 7 "Pommy"
I apologise If I am being rude or offending anyone - intention is not anything as such.
Merely filling out this quiz.
** Question to SJS - if it is this rude - I hope you don't mind my saying , should this be in this quiz at all ? ***
