Very close to getting all of them 8/10

Doesn't look like we'll get any more entries so the ones you missed were

Boycott's SR was 32 in that game.

My next quiz will be negative facts about Australian Fast bowlers

Expect such beauts as

Who did Merv Hughes spit on?
Which English Cricketer did Merv verbally assault on the grounds he was good.
How many four letter words did McDermott average per over?

Why do you think I would find the thought of such a quiz in anyway an insult?
