Sporcle Cricket Quiz

[Goughy]

Name the top test wicket takers for each calender year post-WWII

I got 51/64 which I thought wasn't bad. Missed one or two obvious guys but also got a couple of odd ones you wouldn't normally think of.

47 for me but in fairnes my little boy got his head caught in the railings on the steps by the fire and I lost 5 mins rescuing him.

Sporcle is an epic site.

 

[Somerset]

24/25 missed cowdrey

Ditto - other than Cowdrey, got the rest in 3 minutes.

Edit: And 52/64 in the top wicket taker per decade.

Edit 2: 20/23 test 300s - couldn't spell Sandham's name right so should've got 21

 

[Uppercut]

Only got 18/25 in the first one. Once you fill in the first row it gets to be a bit of a challenge! And i'm not very good at these things.

 

[zaremba]

25/25 top runscorers with 1.26 remaining

 

[zaremba]

20/23 triple centurions

 

[zaremba]

56 / 64 wicket takers

 

[Somerset]

Heres another one, top run scorers per year:

Harder than the other three IMO, only got 44/63.

WITHOUT CHEATING

And see how many you get. I missed out on one in the time available; bagging 24/25.

Not a bad site all in all either.

Got 22/25, and missed Cowdrey, Mark Taylor and... stupidly enough... Viv Richards.

Brilliant site, huge timewaster.

 

[oitoitoi]

24/25, missed Cowdrey,
20/23 Triple Centurians, missed Simpson, Cowper and an English bloke.
55/64 on the leading wicket takers which I was well proud of.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

25/25

Got Gower, Boycott and Greenidge in the last minute .

 

[BoyBrumby]

23/25, but should've been 24 because I couldn't spell Jayawardene successfully enough for the site to accept it.

Missed out on Mark Waugh. Afghanistan, indeed.

EDIT: 22/23 on the triples; missed Cowper

Scored 44 as well. Got every year since I've been alive (other than 1987!) and then got a few easy older ones

 

[thierry henry]

24/25 missed Cowdrey, seems like a lot of people did

 

[Smudge]

Got Cowdrey, but somehow missed Taylor, Atherton and Stewart.

 

[Zinzan]

23/25 - only because I forgot about Alex Stewart of all people & couldn't spell Jayawardene to save myself

 

[SJS]

I got them all but couldnt spell jayawardene correct
