Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[JASON]

You are right that both these qualify as answers so I will add a rider.

I doubt if it can ever be equalled too !!

Playing Tests for 2 countries , perhaps.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

That still aint helpful...

 

[Ferd]

I doubt if the ten day test will ever be equalled

 

[Deja moo]

Both teams in a test making less than 100 in their first innings ?( India in New Zealand 2003)

 

[SJS]

I doubt if the ten day test will ever be equalled

Maybe. But this isnt it.

Okay. Here is another hint. It is the oldest cricket record still standing

 

[Deja moo]

Biggest gap between two test appearances ? ( 17 years in the case of Younis Ahmed of Pakistan )

Its a bit of a 'smart Alec' type of question. It just hit me as I was thinking how to put a question which no one will be able to use a search engine to get the answer

 

[SJS]

OKAY.

I will rephrase it but that will NOW make it a dead giveaway

What is the largest number of players to debut in a single test match ??

 

[Deja moo]

22

 

[SJS]

22

Yes

It is the oldest because it was first ever test.
Cant be broken (unless we allow more than 11 players per side)
Unlikely to be equalled , of course if Kenya gets in to the test arena and there first test is against Zimbabwe and Mugabe decides that only a particular tribe can play , you never know

Your turn DM

Your turn DM

Actually the oldest record would be most number of players debuting in an international game ....22 Canada vs USA .

You got me there. I should have said oldest test record. I am sure you can find other 'cricket, reciods that are older than 1877

hey, i'm not angry or anything infact it doesn't bother me at all but i don't think the thread was created in order for anyone to fire questions out whenever they come up with one they want to ask, the idea(the way i see it) is that the right to ask a question is earnt and considered as some sort of a reward...

Hi Bryce,

Sorry pal. It was not to deny you a question. Actualy it was over 8 hours since you had answered correctly and just to keep the thread going I asked, begging your 'absent' pardon

Hi Bryce,

I am goinng ahead and asking the next one on your behalf (Pardon')

No other intention.

Please go ahead and ask the next.

 

[Tapioca]

Oops. I'll ask this later

 

[Deja moo]

So when do I get to ask mine ?

 

[SJS]

Okay. Carrying on from there, I will ask one out of turn.

Which is the oldest individual, breakable Test record ?

The 'breakable' is there to exclude the 'first man to' questions.

Highest percentage of a teams score by a batsman, Bannerman in the first ever test.

 

[Deja moo]

hehehe...this is like a soap opera now....what happens next ?

 

[Tapioca]

I withdrew my question, but it was too late What should we do now ? Can whoever gets this pass the turn to Dejamoo ?

There is one older than Bannerman's.
