Little bit of cricket trivia

[irfan]

Well, actually it's only one question....

But Which current international cricket player has the exact same batting average in Test an ODI to 2dp ?

Name the player, his average and his team

 

[Burpey]

Too good to resist.


Has he played less than 10 Tests?

 

[irfan]

Yes less than 10 tests

 

[Jamee999]

Less than 10 ODIs?

 

[irfan]

nope more than 10 ODI's

 

[irfan]

Hmmm ... Didn't think that this was difficult as it was meant to be.

 

[Jamee999]

Averaging over 20?

 

[irfan]

Nope < 20

 

[aussie tragic]

Nathan Bracken 17.50 in tests, 17.60 in ODI

 

[irfan]

close but not close enough - remember 2 dp

 

[aussie tragic]

Doh! okay, how about Kyle Mills averaging 13.33 in both

 

[irfan]

Congrats. Your turn now

I was hoping someone would answer it before he came out to bat

For partnerships totaling > 1000 runs, which current players have the 2nd best opening partnership average ever in ODI (and highest opening partnership average of current players)?

btw, I had to ask this as I was shocked when I saw this

 

[Jamee999]

Vincent and Fleming?

 

[irfan]

I'll take a stab Ponting & Gilchrist

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Vincent and Fleming?

Yeah that's who I was going to guess, but I don't think they''d have partnered over 1000 runs?

 

[Jamee999]

Gilly and Haydos?

 

[Great Birtannia]

Katich and Gilchrist?

 

[aussie tragic]

Katich and Gilchrist?

Correct. Katich & Gilchrist have scored 1442 runs @ 55.46 as ODI openers. Only Tendulkar and Jadeja have a better average with 1315 runs @ 59.77.

Your go - Great Birt
