:Abdul Qadir? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 11:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Oh yes ! That's correct! Was this googleable or you happened to know it :) [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 14:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
No, I managed to obtain a Ryder Medal winners list, and only man could've met the first criterion. I vaguely recall the Academy being mentioned in Pundits from Pakistan as well, though I'm not sure whether it was for girls as well. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 14:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yes Well done,Pundits From Pakistan was my source for the ques as well [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 14:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
::Was the entire list mentioned in the book? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 14:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Yes it did and the author says on the business card there is a white oval patch and the words King Of Spin printed across the card. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 14:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

===Q842===
"We couldn't get you out, so we had to set fire on you." (This is not an exact quote, but I suppose it's close enough to pass as the original quote, at least for the sake of this quiz)

What happened? Who said this to whom? (three parts, basically, so I shall use my own discretion) [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 14:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

:Was it Botham to Boycott in the England dressing room? Just after Boycott had stamped out the flames consuming the newspaper he had been reading. <b>[[User:BlackJack|BlackJack]] | <sup><i>[[User talk:BlackJack|talk page]]</i></sup></b> 15:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Good guess, but no. The event took place ages before that. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:: guessing , does this involve Fred Trueman ? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 15:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

It can't be about the Lord's pavilion fire in 1825 because that happened at night, but does it concern a real fire at or near the ground? Or is it anything to do with being under fire in wartime? <b>[[User:BlackJack|BlackJack]] | <sup><i>[[User talk:BlackJack|talk page]]</i></sup></b> 15:37, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

:No, it's not that famous a fire. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
::In fact, a much, much, much small-scale fire. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 16:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
And no, it doesn't involve Trueman, it involves two legends, though. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 16:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:This happened over a century back, in England. It involved two true legends who've stood the test of time, and shall continue to do so for a long time to come - and not only among hardcore fans of the game. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 06:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::WG and another Firey Fred: The Demon Spofforth? --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 11:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, you've got one of them. But which one, and was he the speaker or the batsman? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 11:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

:Is this Ernie Jones "firing" the ball through WG's beard? [[User:Johnlp|Johnlp]] ([[User talk:Johnlp|talk]]) 12:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
No. It was a real fire, however small. And I still haven't confirmed that WG was involved, and that he was at the receiving end of the quote. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 12:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

:Anything to do with burning the bails? <b>[[User:BlackJack|BlackJack]] | <sup><i>[[User talk:BlackJack|talk page]]</i></sup></b> 15:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
No. I think I should make it clear that the comment was made at an individual, not one or more bails or any other nonhuman being or object. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:48, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Till now, what we have is one of Spofforth and WG have been involved. Let's call this person A. The other person B shared at least one occupation with A outside the cricket field (I have reasons to believe that they have shared multiple occupations). [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Another guess ,WG and Arthur Conan Doyle .I know both are doctors.could that be the other occupation ? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 17:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
That's the answer. Though Travis had mentioned WG, he never specified. I'd give it to you, but can you narrate what happened? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 07:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Not sure what the incident is,but I would like to think it is something that Arthur Conan Doyle told WG when he got his wicket after WG made a century. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 09:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
It actually happened the other way round. WG was fielding at point, and Conan Doyle was the batsman. Something happened that prompted WG to make this comment. Try making a guess regarding what happened... remember, Conan Doyle was an avid smoker (as was his most famous character). [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 09:33, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
::Matches, pocket, impact, BOOM!! WillE
:::Maybe somebody set Doyle's pipe on fire according to the instruction of WG :) and hence Doyle had to leave the field ? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 11:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, let me put this to an end. Conan Doyle was batting, with some matches in his pocket. A ball grazed his pocket, and (don't ask me how) set a few sticks ablaze. The great man was resorted to jumping and taking everything out of his pocket and trample them. That's when WG made the comment. Over to you, Sumant81. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 12:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

::: *sulks* [[User:WillE|WillE]] ([[User talk:WillE|talk]]) 12:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
No, actually I overlooked WillE's answer. I believe the best possible solution would be to award half a point each to Sumant81 and WillE, and give Sumant81 the right to ask a new question. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 13:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


3 years and no questions at all ? did you guys just run out of questions?
===Q843===
What identical records do [[Anderson Cummins]],[[Zaheer Khan]] and [[Waqar Younis]] share in ODIs? An equivalent record in test is held only by one person .[[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 15:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
:The minimum cut I am looking at is 4 or more wickets per innings.[[Terry Alderman]] holds this identical record in tests. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 02:07, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Cummins had taken 5-31, 4-33, 4-33 in his three 4WIs. But it can't be two identical consecutive 4WIs, since Chandrasekhar had 6-52 and 6-52. So no clue. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 08:07, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:Cummins' other oddity was playing for two countries. Alderman had 40 wickets in 2 Ashes series, Waqar had 1000 runs without a fifty and an incredible number of 4WIs and 5WIs in ODIs etc. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 08:07, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:: I did not ask for consecutive..I only asked for identical,You were close with the first guess.Look more closely and you shall have the answer [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 10:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Alderman too 6-128 twice. Cummins took 3-38 twice, Zaheer Khan took 4-42 three times and Waqar Younis took 5-52 twice The highest matching bowling for 3, 4 and 5 wicket hauls in ODIs may therefore be the answer.[[User:WillE|WillE]] ([[User talk:WillE|talk]]) 15:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Grrr, beaten by edit conflict! [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:20, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:Serves me right for overlooking WillE's response to the previous question! :) [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 15:21, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:: No , That is not correct.Vaas has 3-63 twice,Waqar 4-62 twice in ODIs. and McGrath has 7-76 twice in tests.So why would only Alderman be the only person to have done it. .Again the min cut is 4 or more. But you are not way off target as well. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 16:08, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Just noted that Zak had plenty of 4WIs in the 40s (between 42 and 47, including three 4-42s and a 5-42). Alderman also had a several 4WIs in the 60s, but couldn't find anything relevant for Waqar. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 16:20, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:: The instances of Cummins,Zaheer and Waqar have all been mentioned in the above thread.If I indicate which ones,then the answer would become obvious [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 16:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Seeing the silence ,here are the instances Cummins 4-33,Zaheer 4-42 and Waqar 4-62.Alderman 5-66. What is special about them? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 13:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Would they be the only bowlers to have 2 identical innings bowling performances, taking at least 4 wickets (Cummins: 10-0-33-4; Zaheer: 10-0-42-4; Waqar: 10-0-62-4). Alderman is the only Test player to manage this (27-7-66-5). Interestingly, Cummins has also managed 10-1-38-3 twice in ODIs --[[User:Roberry|Roberry]] ([[User talk:Roberry|talk]]) 19:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


anyway, i got one
Yay Roberry gets it.Thats the one.Identical Bowling Analyses is infact the answer.Tough to believe that in over a 100 years of test cricket that only Alderman has repeated the bowling performance. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 02:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


which is the cheapest 9 wicket hall in FC cricket? [[Special:Contributions/117.217.177.96|117.217.177.96]] ([[User talk:117.217.177.96|talk]]) 07:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
===Q844===
What Test record is presently held by [[Ian Bell]]? The previous record holder held the record for little more than 2 years, but prior to that the record had stood for almost 100 years --[[User:Roberry|Roberry]] ([[User talk:Roberry|talk]]) 05:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:I was in the middle of saying the highest Test average - he had 303 upon being dismissed in his 4th innings - then I remembered Rowe managed 336... So scratch that, I'll go back to being quiet... --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 06:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:: And I wanted to say he had 297 test average after 3 innings which is the best right now for anyone after 3 innings.I know RE Foster had 177.50 after 3 innings ,Lawrence Rowe only had 168 after 3 innings.RE Foster is nearly 100 years back.So not sure who held it for 2 years in between. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 06:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:::[[Jacques Rudolph]] would be the other name in the mix. He scored 293 runs before being dismissed for the first time in 2003. I'm having trouble picking a pattern that doesn't include Rowe though. 3 innings doesn't work as Worrell had 256 after 3 innings. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 13:53, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
OK, My mistake - somehow Rowe slipped through the net - I was looking for highest Test average at any point in their career (after conclusion of an innings) - Ian Bell had an average of 297 after his third innings (70, 65*, 162*), Rudolph managed to get to 293 before being dismissed, but of course Rowe had an average of 314 after his first Test. I will award it to Travis, who was closest to my answer, even though my question was wrong. I will go hide in a dark place and hang my head in shame --[[User:Roberry|Roberry]] ([[User talk:Roberry|talk]]) 14:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


:It's alive! :) I have an idea that the cheapest 9 wicket analysis is 9-7, but without looking it up I can't remember who it was by. JH ([[User talk:Jhall1|talk page]]) 08:51, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
===Q845===
There's 39 spots on this list, but removing the duplicate players we end up with: [[Brian Lara]], [[Steve Waugh]], [[Matthew Hayden]], [[Graham Gooch]], [[Jack Hobbs]], [[George Gunn]], [[Wilfred Rhodes]]. What's it all about? --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 15:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


:If there are 39 spots .Is this something to do with centuries.Considering the max centuries is 39 in test cricket? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 18:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
::No, nothing to do with tons. 39 isn't a well known number in this context, although the upper and lower limits are reasonably well known. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 22:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


===Q1482===
Clue: It's no coincidence that Rhodes is also the 39th and last name on the corresponding list for bowlers. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 02:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Who was the first cricketer to wear an helmet in international cricket?
:Still no takers? The bowling list is less clear cut, but in addition to Rhodes it includes Muralitharan, Warne, Grimmett, and Ironmonger. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 16:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
:: I am still trying to think on the lines of the upper/lower limits,Is this something to do with the age of cricketer considering Wilfred Rhodes,Grimmet,Gunn,Gooch and the others played till they were quite old. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 16:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Highest score by a batsman for a certain age ? [[User:OrangeKnight|OrangeKnight]] ([[User talk:OrangeKnight|talk]]) 16:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
:::: Getting warmer. Consider why there's no precocious teenagers like Tendulkar etc though. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 18:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::I am going to need a clarification on the original question.The reason I said age was youngest player was 14 and oldest player was 52,thats 39 different ages in a way.Now in the original question,when you said you had removed the duplicate players,Isn't tendulkar one of the duplicate player ? The others you have mentioned are the only unique ones right? Or is it like they are the only ones to appear on the list and you have just removed the duplicate instances. ? [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 01:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Not sure this is a clue anymore.

I am stuck by the fact that when [[Hasan Raza]] was 14 , he played only against Zimbabwe ,so how do the 6 players relate to the list.So maybe it is not a record at a particular age ,but something to do with,Most Matches against some one who debuted at "n" yrs .?

===Q1483===
:You're nearly there, so let's cut to the chase and I'll give it to you Sumant. It's most runs after X years of age, with X being all the valid ages between 14 and 52. There's a little bit of lateral thinking in that Lara has scored the most runs [http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?agemin1=14;ageval1=age;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;template=results;type=batting for age 14 plus], which is naturally the full Test list, and he continues to be the top from 15 to [http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?agemin1=26;ageval1=age;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;template=results;type=batting age 26]. Waugh then takes over for [http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?agemin1=27;ageval1=age;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;template=results;type=batting age 27] whilst Hayden is best [http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?agemin1=30;ageval1=age;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;template=results;type=batting for 30 plus], then back to Lara, then Gooch for most of the 30s, Hobbs for most of the 40s, then Gunn, then Rhodes is all by himself for 51 and 52. --[[User:Travisbasevi|Travis Basevi]] ([[User talk:Travisbasevi|talk]]) 16:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Worst bowling average at any given point of time. [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 12:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:Surti averaged 432 before his 7th test, Mahela 308 before his 24th ODI, and Oram 178 before his 9th T20I. Oram had actually conceded 15 before taking a wicket in his 9th ODI, so that's 193 for him. Surti conceded 25 without taking a wicket in the first innings in his 7th test, so it's >=457 for him. No improvement information on Mahela, though.

:Yes Correct ,it is widely believed that [[Khaled Mahmud]] had the worst bowling average at any point of time with 406 ,but that is wrong.[[Rusi Surti]] and Frank Martin - 417 had worser ones.For ODIs [[Ravi Shastri]] is second worst followed by [[Prosper Utseya]] .Points and the next question hosting rights over to Ovshake.Seems like the OrangeKnight gave the same answer seconds after Ovshake who had to then erase his answer.[[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 13:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

===Q848===
What record set in October 2001 will be equaled in October of this year? This record could have been broken comfortably last month. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 17:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:Maximum no. of teams playing outside a world cup or something like that, which could've been broken had the Champions Trophy been played? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 17:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:: You are right on the second part.It is something which would have been broken had the Champions Trophy been played. However no ,the max teams outside a world cup is not the answer [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 17:36, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
October 2001 was pretty eventless actually... what am I missing? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 06:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
:: I can see that this is actually a tough question but it can be easily worked out.So let me give some more hints.The record is on a per year basis for all tests/odis/t20s combine and it did not get a chance to grow after October 2001 for that year.On October 13 2008 ,this record would be equaled. [[User:Sumant81|Sumant81]] ([[User talk:Sumant81|talk]]) 08:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Surely not the no. of matches, where 2007 wins easily with its two world cup and loads of associate member matches. For a similar reason, it can't be balls, runs or wickets. Is it country AND year-specific? [[User:Ovshake|Ovshake]] ([[User talk:Ovshake|talk]]) 08:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

which is the cheapest 9 wicket hall in FC cricket? 117.217.177.96 (talk) 07:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was it an Australian against the West Indian giant quicks? VasuVR (talk, contribs) 16:17, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@VasuVRYes you are correct he is an Australian and his second name is also a rhyming word of "gallop"Abishe (talk) 04:33, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Graham Yallop did ring a bell on the question. However, when some articles on internet claim Dennis Amiss used the first helmet, was not sure. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 09:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
