Trivia

[Paoli]

England representation, Test and ODI's- TTFC is correct

Runako Morton? Correct
CZ Harris? Correct
3 players? Close enough, as AM said there is Foster, but I'll give it to you?
7 test grounds in England have been used? Nope.

[Teatime FatCat]

Test Grounds - Lords, Oval, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge, Old Trafford, Headingly, Chester Le Street? Which have I missed?

[Paoli]

1 that was used a while ago; not 20 years ago, not 50 years ago, even over 80 years ago; these days its a football ground.

[Teatime FatCat]

Oh see now, this is why I'm getting confused! Not how many Test Ground were there, but how many test grounds are there.I'll guess - Wembly, Bradford Park Avenue, White City, Baseball Park Derby?

[Paoli]

I may as well give it to you; There are 8. The other being Bramall Lane in Sheffield!

[Teatime FatCat]

Ah ha - you are knowledgable for one so young!

[Paoli]

Cricinfo Grounds Search helps u know!

Anyway, get answering the other questions, half of them I duno myself!
