It has to be one from Boycott, Holding, Derryck Murray and Sehwag. All of them won the only two matches they led in. Someone has to tell which of them has perfect toss winning record

the answer was actually talked about during the VB series..

That didnt help much but here's the answer

Boycott led England, won the toss and England wone the match two on the only two occasions he led the national side in the limited overs game - both times against Pakistan

1. At Sialkot on 30th Dec 1977 and
2. At Old Trafford, 24th and 25th May 1978.

I am going to be travelling again so will somone else take up the next question please.

You walk in to watch an ODI game after the first 2 balls of the first over has been bowled.

Gilly and Katich are at the wicket.
The score board indicates:

Australia 12 for no loss (after 0.2 overs)
Gilchrist 6 not out
Katich 6 not out

Gilly is getting ready to face the third ball.

Can you explain what has happened?

 

[Jamee999]

Right. Gilly ran three, with one short, and there were 4 overthrows.

Then the same happened for Katich

 

[archie mac]

Right. Gilly ran three, with one short, and there were 4 overthrows.

Then the same happened for Katich

Close enought Katich ran three, one short and four over throws and then Gilly hit six.

Well done your turn

Ranking is the key

It shouldnt be too difficult.
