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 · 22-03-2009, 06:18 AM

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 · 22-03-2009, 06:26 AM

25/25

Got Gower, Boycott and Greenidge in the last minute

.

BoyBrumby · 22-03-2009, 09:09 AM

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

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

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 · 22-03-2009, 08:55 PM

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

Smudge · 22-03-2009, 11:25 PM

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

Zinzan · 23-03-2009, 02:20 AM

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

SJS · 23-03-2009, 12:22 PM

I got them all but couldnt spell jayawardene correct

I'm not sure how- if you just type Waugh into the box you get both players.

Typed Steve Waugh, obv.

CMJ's top 100 cricketers of all time.

Got 86, missed one or two through spelling. I think it's a few years old but it's a bit like life, good for passing the time.

74/100 here, though also missed out on a couple due to spelling.
