Question: I'm thinking of a number between one and 500. This number is intereresting in that it is in at least four ways related to cricket. Name three of these.
ANSWERS 1. Number: The number is 229 2. A record: 3. Something important: 4. Something interesting: 229 is the score South Africa incorrectly calculated as their winning margin when they were eliminated from the 2003 World Cup 5. Something else: 229 is the lowest score never to be made by a batsman in a completed test innings 20 QUESTIONS Question 1: Ferd: Is it over 250? NO Question 2: SJS: Is it 229, The lowest score yet to be scored by any batsman in tests ? YES However it is important in more ways than this. Name 3 of the 4... Clue #1: Of the three remaining, one is a record, one is important and one is interesting Question 3: SJS: is the one which is a record a batting record ? YES Question 4: SJS: Is it the Highest number of runs conseded by a Kiwi bowler in a test. 1 for 229 in 70 overs by SL Boock vs Pakistan in 1988-89? NO, not one of the ones I was thinking of Clue #2: All three remaining answers are related to One Day International Cricket Question 5: SJS: Is it a dubious record - not one you would be proud to own? NO Clue #3: The record does not belong to a batsman. Question 6: chris.hinton: is it 499 the second highest score in first class cricket? NO Question 7: Jamee99: Is it the only First Class Score that has been made 4 times in a match? NO Question 8: The Baconator: Is it because 229 was scored in the 229th ODI? NO Question 9: Bookie: Is it by any chance a partnership record? NO Question 10: Bookie: Is it because 229 was the score that made South Africa tie in 'that' match against Sri Lanka in the World Cup '03? YES, that is the 'interesting' one. Question 11: Bookie: Is it the fact that a cricket ball's circumference must be 229mm? NO

Sorry to Cricketweb users for hogging up this space, but forgive me, but we'll shut this ****hole of a question for once and for all.
229 was the score that Bangladesh scored in their first win on home soil against Inida, which also happened to be their 100th ODI. |
