OK, then.

1) Who had the best test batting average after the following number of innings.
a) 5
b) 10
c) 14

Bradman kicked in at 15 and never looked back.

2) Javed Miandad says in his autobiography that he is the only person to always average over 50 in test cricket. He is wrong; who is the other player? (minimum requirement of 30 innings)

Thanks.
As regards the Bradman puzzle, I had to start with the bowler who bowled 5 maidens first and work round that but there is no substitute for perseverance on this puzzle. Good luck.
