Yeah, a quick look at the comments shows most are about noticing errors (sometimes incorrectly but mostly pointing out real erors)

An example of one is,

"Q: Who waited longest in terms of matches to score a century?

A: Depending on whether you mean the longest wait from debut to maiden century or the most consecutive games between centuries, the answer is Shaun Pollock (whose first came in his 51st game - and he almost immediately scored another) or Adam Parore, who played 56 games between his two Test centuries. "

Well, as stated, Jason Gillespie didnt score a ton until his 71st Test so you would expect his inclusion.

Who are the team? Is it he same guys as before? Is there a fact checking system?

I think its a great idea and has been done well, but to be acclaimed as expert then all the questions need to be answered correctly. Too many slips leads to a credibility issue.
