Q13 is it the first time the same country was playing tests in two countries at the same time ? (ie Eng v NZ January 10,11,13 1930 and Eng v WI 11,13,14,15 Jan 1930)

I'd say so..that is bizarre..

Jason gets it

England played two Test matches against two countries simultaneously.

Looks like I made an error. There are two pairs of Tests in the season which satisfies this condition :

Anyway, Jason's turn now

 

[JASON]

I am too tired to post a question now. So I will only be able to post my question tomorrow.

If anyone else wants to post a question they can do so now.

 

[SJS]

I'd say so..that is bizarre..

Bizzare is too mild !!

England sent out two teams at the same time. The stronger side to West Indies for their second series ever and a weak side to New Zealand for their inaugural test series. The side that went to NewZealand had tweo big stars, duleep and the ageing Woolley.

Remarkable indeed. Two series of four test at the same time !!

Q6 was it achieved in one match? (eg. did it take only 1 test to achieve or was it built up over time) Yes (it was achieved in one match)


Since I am worried that the questions are not going anywhere in heading to the answer, I am giving Hint 1 now. (for fear you guys are going to rin out of questions)

 

[Jamee999]

Is that a question ? Do you want me to answer it . (even though its not worded correctly, I will answer it if you want me to ! )

I was just wondering why you laughed at my question

 

[JASON]

I was just wondering why you laughed at my question

Because it was not worded correctly for this format, in which as you know the quiz master can only answer Yes or no to a question.

Hint 1 - It is not a record that the holder would be proud of .

It might have been a first to do X at Y kinda thing.

Q7 Is it a record that involves being the first to do X or Y ? No
