Hi Richard,
Slow I dont think so, Statto will set the next,being he got the questions right, join in Richard!

[Richard Jenkins]

Well I'll try and answer it then.

[Statto]

I'll set a question either tonight or tomorrow (depending on when I think of one or find something worth including)
Its good fun anyway Rich and it will be good for us to have a little competition rather than just 1 person asks and the other answers.

Yes, When i started this thread I thought it could get popular.............. There is still hope perhaps. !

[Statto]

It's a good thread Richard, in partic when there is no cricket to talk about, dont knock it

Questions (at last)

1 What is the highest number of balls bowled in a single test match innings and by who?

2 What is the highest number of test wickets taken by a bowler at a single ground, by who and where?

3 Who has the lowest test batting average having scored
a) 1000 test runs
b) 2000 test runs
and also taken either 100 test wickets or catches/stumpings?

Good Luck

Also for a bit of fun (and hard questions)

Highest no. of balls bowled in a single test match innings was 588 balls(98 overs) by S Ramadhin(WI) who bowled 588 balls (35 maidens ,179 runs, 2 wickets ) in 1957 Eng V WI @Edgbaston.

Highest No of wickets by a bowler at a single ground was I'll guess Muralitheran(SL) (111 test wickets @ Sinhalese sports )ground)

Guess the last two
lowest test batting average 1000 test runs/100 stumpings/catches/ wickets is Keeper Wasim Bari (Pakistann, 1366 runs, @15.88, 201 catches)?
Lowest test batting average 2000 test runs/100 wickets is SK Warne(aus) (2326 runs @ 16.27) and 300+ wickets?


S Ramadin's bowling record is amazing !

In the innings where Ramadin got the record, 258 overs were bowled!
