+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xOk Bobbie and Paddles. Who was Australia’s leading run-scorer in the 2013 Ashes series? That was in England. Isn't that the series when Ashton Agar got close to a ton? And Clarke, Watson and Smith all went big? It's got to be one of those 3. I think Clarke got at least one duck. That is the one. Holed out for 98. It is out of those three you mentioned Bobbie. I'm going with Watson, then. Clarke got the duck and Smith is too obvious. :p Yep the oft maligned Shane Watson. Now what a surprise that is. There you go. Often seen as simply a basher. Ok - which player internationally since 1970 has scored the most runs in a test series? If that’s too easy, when and where? Such a bad record, he took 6 tests to do it, and barely scored more runs than Gooch in 3 tests vs India... Was that in India? Any runs scored there should be worth double. Nah England in 1990 - Gooch scored a tripple and a second 100 in the one match, think it was the one Dev hit 4 6s in a row to avoid the follow on. It was the middle of Gooch's career peak. Nice work Mr Gooch. I have a photo of me with Gooch and Gatting from their 94/95 Ashes tour. Signed by Gatting, who kept wanting to make me cups of tea. Really. Ok a new one. A tuffie. Name the only man who has taken a hat-trick and made a half-century in an Ashes Test.
I'll have a crack: Monty Noble. Forget that one. Was William Bates (1883) Must be a Pom. Ok this is easier name the only post war cricketers to take an Ashes hat trick. There are three. Only one is a great. Warnie You got the great. Any ideas for the other two. Clue: One an Aussie.. in the 2000s..the other a nuggety Northern Englishman..the 90s. The nugget has got to be Gough! No idea about the Aussie though.

What are the worst bowling figures you can come up with? 0-250 is pretty shocking. Indeed. So is 0/12 off 0. The example being a 4 and a 6 off two consecutive no balls and the bowler subsequently sent off for bowling waist high full tosses...

Here's some easy cricket trivia anyone familiar with Bradman will know off the top of their heads. Which young bowler, who bowled a 17yr old Bradman out for 234 in a Wingello vs Bowral local match (at Bowral) also kicked on to become an Aussie cricketing legend? To be fair Bradman was dropped twice off his bowling before he reached 30, once with the ball hitting the fielder/Captain in the chest "as he was lighting his pipe" lol. Bradman made 234 n.o. by the end of the day. The next week he clean bowled him first ball.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x[quote]+x[quote]Ok Bobbie and Paddles. Who was Australia’s leading run-scorer in the 2013 Ashes series? That was in England. Isn't that the series when Ashton Agar got close to a ton? And Clarke, Watson and Smith all went big? It's got to be one of those 3. I think Clarke got at least one duck. That is the one. Holed out for 98. It is out of those three you mentioned Bobbie. I'm going with Watson, then. Clarke got the duck and Smith is too obvious. :p Yep the oft maligned Shane Watson. Now what a surprise that is. There you go. Often seen as simply a basher. Ok - which player internationally since 1970 has scored the most runs in a test series? If that’s too easy, when and where? Such a bad record, he took 6 tests to do it, and barely scored more runs than Gooch in 3 tests vs India... Was that in India? Any runs scored there should be worth double. Nah England in 1990 - Gooch scored a tripple and a second 100 in the one match, think it was the one Dev hit 4 6s in a row to avoid the follow on. It was the middle of Gooch's career peak. Nice work Mr Gooch. I have a photo of me with Gooch and Gatting from their 94/95 Ashes tour. Signed by Gatting, who kept wanting to make me cups of tea. Really. Ok a new one. A tuffie. Name the only man who has taken a hat-trick and made a half-century in an Ashes Test.
I'll have a crack: Monty Noble. Forget that one. Was William Bates (1883) Must be a Pom. Ok this is easier name the only post war cricketers to take an Ashes hat trick. There are three. Only one is a great. Warnie You got the great. Any ideas for the other two. Clue: One an Aussie.. in the 2000s..the other a nuggety Northern Englishman..the 90s. The nugget has got to be Gough! No idea about the Aussie though. Siddle is the other. 2010 at the Gabba. Who is the only one of those three to take an Ashes hat trick on their birthday? Siddle. Yeah, Siddle. Here's some easy cricket trivia anyone familiar with Bradman will know off the top of their heads. Which young bowler, who bowled a 17yr old Bradman out for 234 in a Wingello vs Bowral local match (at Bowral) also kicked on to become an Aussie cricketing legend? To be fair Bradman was dropped twice off his bowling before he reached 30, once with the ball hitting the fielder/Captain in the chest "as he was lighting his pipe" lol. Bradman made 234 n.o. by the end of the day. The next week he clean bowled him first ball. Tiger O'Reilly. What was The Dons best FC score..when, where and against whom? [/quote]452* (I knew this and his highest test score) at the SCG in a shield match against Qld in 1930 (which I had to look up lol). I will be impressed if anyone can answer this without looking it up. How many wickets did Bradman take in his test career? Sobers - 365 Lara 375 Hayden 380 Lara 400* Jaya is an anomaly... HAnif is a 499 anamoly for FC so is Lara's Levi Strauss 501*.... in FC...

Not many as he was a part time part timer. 10?

+xHow many wickets did Bradman take in his test career?Not many as he was a part time part timer. 10? Not a bad guess, it wasn't many. I found this little bit of trivia while looking up where/when he made his highest first class score. The correct answer is 2. One of them being Walter Hammond in the infamous match at Adelaide 1933 (the bodyline series).

Who is the longest serving Captain (in terms of matches played as Captain) in test cricket?

That covers a lot of cricketers. Perhaps a clue.. say the nationality.
I will have a wild stab. Wally Hammond (England).

+xThat covers a lot of cricketers. Perhaps a clue.. say the nationality. I will have a wild stab. Wally Hammond (England). It's a modern cricketer, as they play so much more cricket these days. Nationality will make it too easy. Was also an opening batsman and very good in the slips. Captain Grumpy (Border) is second with 94 matches. Flemming 3rd with 80 matches. This player was much more recent, retired after 109 matches as Captain. Great cricketer he was too, excellent Captain.

+xAnd batted in front of his stumps too just like some one else with the same surname... Exactly right Paddles. In some ways a mirror image of his namesake. Something like a more burly version of Simon Katich technique wise (only far more successful). Seemed to have mits the size of dinner plates, which was helpful in the slips (1st slip from memory, could be wrong about that). His team had a largely unsung run with him as Captain, extremely good record. Probably the best team around from late 2000's until his retirement.

Obviously Greame Smith. 108 test matches as Captain of South Africa, 1 as Captain of an ICC eleven. Fair effort that.

Only one is a great. While we are pondering that, here is another one that I heard on the podcast Cricket Unfiltered. What are the worst bowling figures you can come up with? 0-250 is pretty shocking. DC you took a look here but left no posts. Now our Test summer is done and dusted perhaps time to revive this thread. Why dont you come up with a real poser DC.
