New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

Was it Nari Contractor ? :D

This is the 6000th post on this thread !!! :clapping: :cheers: :band: :clap: :rockon: :partytime :happybday

Congratulations (and Thanks) to everyone on this Forum in General who participate on this thread and keep it going very strong !! In Particular I would like to pay Tribute to SJS , Burkey 1988 , Tapioca, Archie Mac,Somerset, Biased Indian , Boy Brumby, Baconator, Memberstand, Jamee999 and many others who keep this thread going so strong !!
It has (if I am not mistaken ) become the second highest posted thread on this forum ever after the Ashes thread which had over 10,000 posts in it,

Remarkably (obviously by the nature of this trivia) it has over taken the "Can you beat the Cricket Guru " thread despite that thread having been in existence longer on this forum !!

PS. And the GURU thread is fast approaching the 6000 mark. Considering that this thread was really born out of that one, it's almost like they were one thread.

Great contributions by Jason and Tapioca (veterans) Archie and Burkey (more recently) besides others. I wish Pratyush , the father of all this would participate more often though.
