No, although you may well be right, but that is a little to hard for meGoughy said:
It is more to do with tours

These 3 brought out a lot of the earlier touring cricket sides from England and also the first Rugby tour to Aust. which they lost a lot of money on.
Your turn Tapi
There's some truth in that !archie mac said:
Have been away on holliday in SL for one and also losing interest in the trivia threads a little . This one for one thing takes ages to go through one question and even then you never know whether someone will post another.
Shall we start another new Trivia thread which will encourage greater participation of all forum members and be more interesting , than the same old us few over and over and over again , struggling to find questions and digging up old questions ?
BTW , I have a suggestion for James (Cricket Web Boss).
James, why not get someone to publish the questions in the Trivia threads as a book ?
(Obviously some may need researching to confirm they are correct ) But would be a great idea.
You could sell it easily , IMO .
Suggested Title - " Cricket Web Cricket Trivia " Edited by James Nixon .

The problem as I see it and I hope I am not coming across as to pompous, is that if you do not make the questions really hard, people like yourself, SJS and Tapi, solve them to easily.
The fact that people can google the answer also means you have to make the questions quite tough.
Happy to make it more accessible to more members just not sure how?
Meanwhile the next question :
What - which had happened less frequently with the passage of time - happened probably for the last time in the Oxford - Lancashire match in 1990 ?
http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/52/52943.html , but there are no clues in the scorecard. Hints after a couple of guesses.

He did not bat in the 1st innings but opened the batting in the 2nd. Though you did say the scorecard would not help, it did get me thinking.
How about he was not in the country when the game started and only arrived during Oxfords innings (as he opened the bowling in Lancashires only innings)
Game started when he was still in Aus?

I havent lost interest. Its just that I am not able to devote the time required (particularly if I am the one who has asked the question) always. I feel guilty that the thread may slow down because of my absence in such a case.archie mac said:
Plus I am scared of Jason's admonitions. Kidding
I had no idea that some of the stalwarts were also missing.
Okay, I will try and do something about it.

Suggestion to James
In order to make this thread more user friendly as well as attractive when anyone visits it the first time, can we try and implement one or more of the changes suggested.
1. A twenty question format where the original question is posted and all subsequent questions with the answers in YES/NO can be put. The one who asks the question fills the first (QUIZ) line and subsequently others start filling the 20 questions while the QUIZZER keeps filling the NO/YES columns.
This will always remain at the top of the thread (like the poles) till the answer is finally given. Thew final answer has to be filled in by the quizzer.
The moment he fills in the final answer, the format at the top of the thread should go blank again.
Maybe we can allow the first quizzer to also fill in the name of the correct answer giver (sometimes there is a doubt) and then this person poses the next quiz.
2. There should be a way to trace out the earlier QUIZZES. If a book is too much to start with, at least people will be able to go through the earlier quizzes and test their skills against those gone past as the qustions asked and their answers are revealed one by one on the click of the mouse.
3. Maybe there should be a link on the home page or somewhere where the CURRENT QUIZ is posted along with the state of answers as of now. For example:
Twenty 20 QUIZ
CURRENT QUIZ : What links a legendary West Indian batsman with an ex-England captain & an Indian two-cap wonder? & who are the players in question?
STATUS (after 7 question) : The West Indian is George Headley. The English captain is dead, did not captain his country before WW 2 and is not Hutton or Cowdrey and is a Peruvian by birth.
CLUES SO FAR : The English captain crucially shares something with Nobby Solano.
Come try your cricketing knowledge..blah blah blah...
4. Maybe we should have a separate section for CRICKET QUIZ ??
