haha yeah fair point :dry: anyway must be somewhere in india and i'm guessing they had a cage up so they could count them
i'll take a very un-educated stab at it

this is all from the same test...

What single day in Test cricket had the highest attendance ever to date ? Ummm the day when laxman & dravid put on that 376 partnership.

Which Test had the highest attendance over 5 days ?that same test in kolkata(if thats where it was?)

Which series is recorded as the series with the highest attendance for any series?that series, aus in india(2000-01 was it?)

At least you are in the right country for all three !!

Hint - Answer to question 1 is different to the answer to 2 & 3 - which involve the same series.

I think it's the Melbourne Test of the 60/61 Series - Aus vs WI?

Don't know the other 2 though...
I'm thinking maybe it was an Aus vs Eng series - I remember reading something about this, but I can't remember which series it was... perhaps the Bodyline series (32/33)?

Well mate, the answer to the first is a day in a particular test.

The answer to 2 is a whole different test match (which is different from the one which is answer to 1.)
The answer to 3 is a series which incorporates the Test that is answer to 2.

I hope that helps. :unsure:

Well done Dasa, you've cracked that one mate! I will give it to you.

The full answer is Day 2 of the fifth Test between Australia and West Indies at the MCG on 11th February 1961 - Attendance was 90,800 !!! :-O

If you want you can post next question and we can leave the rest of the question for later or we can await someone to crack the rest of it !!

An interesting Test match...five days without any dismissals or any interruptions...you'd think sooner or later someone would realise that it was time to declare? ;)

Well if you're at one end, there'd not be enough runs on the board to declare!

On the Friday (30th June) of the 2000 Lord's test match, Eng vs WI, a unique Test record was established. What was this record?

What is the nickname of the South African Fast Bowler who made a half century on his debut in 2003, then got injured whilst bowling and hasn't represented the country since?
