New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[Howe_zat]

Afraid not, as Dilshan did it against Zimbabwe while they are not officially a Test nation.

 

[weldone]

I meant to say...has never been...

Anyways, Collingwood is the only one to score a century and take 6 wickets in the same match

 

[Howe_zat]

That's the one.

 

[weldone]

Fill in the gaps in this sequence:

1. _ _,
2. Brian Lara,
3. Graeme Smith,
4. Allan Border,
5. _ _

Now answer this one.

 

[Howe_zat]

Something to do with long-term captains and/or left-handed batsmen?

Is one of the other two Clive Lloyd or Stephen Fleming?

 

[weldone]

1. Something to do with long-term captains? - Yes
2. Something to do with left-handed batsmen? - No
3. Is one of the other two Clive Lloyd? - No
4. Is one of the other two Stephen Fleming? - Yes

As usual, I shall give a clue after one more question.

 

[Howe_zat]

Is it most matches lost as captain? If so, #1 is Fleming.

 

[weldone]

Yes, most matches lost as captain...

1. Stephen Fleming (27)
2. Brian Lara (26)
3. Graeme Smith (24)
4. Allan Border (22)
5. Michael Atherton (21)

You can proceed with the next question...

 

[Howe_zat]

Mmkay.

Who is the odd one out from:

Maurice Tate
Jim Parks*
Dudley Nourse
Yuvraj Singh

*For clarification, the Somerset and Sussex wicketkeeper born 1931.

 

[zaremba]

Is it to do with family relationships?

 

[zaremba]

Their fathers all played Tests, but Dudley Nourse is the odd man out because his father wasn't a one-cap wonder.

 

[Howe_zat]

Nice one Z.

 

[zaremba]

OK here's another - shouldn't take long.

Who's the odd man out and why?

Rahul Dravid
Douglas Jardine
Gordon Greenidge
Malcolm Marshall

 

[zaremba]

bump

C'mon, guys I'm in the mood for some SJS Format

 

[Howe_zat]

Is it something to do with both Dravid and Greenidge playing for Scotland? I'd guess that perhaps Marhall played for them too, making Jardine the odd one out, or vice versa?

 

[zaremba]

Yes, damn you. Jardine, though part of the Scottish diaspora (ahem), didn't play for Scotland, but the others did.

 

[fredfertang]

An alternative answer would be Dravid on the basis the other three played for sides that royally stuffed yer crims on a regular basis

 

[zaremba]

So far as the Scottish link is concerned you might've thought the first names would mark Dravid as the odd man out

 

[Jarquis]

What do Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jacques Kallis and Tamim Iqbal all have in common?

 

[zaremba]

Is it cricket related?
