How did Marvin Atapattu reach his recent century against Australia (ie. what shot + no. runs)?
For those who didn't see the match, anyone who knows the way Atapattu plays will be able to succesfully guess this.

[Waughney]

Correct

I guess it's my turn now..

Who was the first batsman to be dismissed on 1st ball of his debut test? Also what was unique about his dismissal? And who dismissed him ?

 

[Waughney]

SJ Cook, he was 39 when he made his debut, c: Tendulkar B: Kapil Dev
It was also the first ball of the match.

Steve Waugh. Mark Waugh, Ponting, McGrath, Warne, Langer, Slater
Thats 7 ..
Is that right ?

 

[Waughney]

Incorrect

 

[delkap]

Take out Langer then.. Gilchrist missed the first one... atleast give a hint as to more than 7 or not ?

 

[Waughney]

The answer is less than 7 and Langer is one of the players.

 

[delkap]

Ok same 6 as before, Warne missed the WI series ..
So Waugh Twins, Ponting, Langer, Slater, McGrath ??

 

[Craig]

Michael Slater, Glenn McGrath, Adam Gilchrist, Justin Langer, Mark Waugh?

Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting missed out to injury that I do know.

I am sure Gilchrist didn't played the 1st of the 16 matches, Healy played then...

Steve waugh missed the third test against WI
Ponting missed the new zealand series

Mark Waugh, Langer, Slater, Mcgrath (4)
