New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[cnerd123]

26?

Nope. Higher.

Butt went Pranav Dhanwade in that knock on that Saturday.

HKUCC actually only won that game by like 18 runs or something!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ohhh, a classic game that.

How many runs were required off the last over?

 

[cnerd123]

Not sure, I'll need to dig up the scorecard

 

[cnerd123]

Ah okay so actually HKCC were bowled out for 302 in the 27th over chasing 399 to win

So a comfortable 97 run win in the end there for HKUCC. The hosts had 8 overs left, so the score was gettable, they just lost too many wickets.

That score of 399/4 by HKUCC means the other 5 batters + extras tallied just 88 between them lol

 

[cnerd123]

the answer to my question was 36. He hit 36 sixes during that epic knock. Articles about it are here:

Anyone want to ask the next question?

Not sure it really fits the format, but here's a trivia question:

X played in a Test in which Y also played.
Y played in a Test in which Z also played.
X died before Z was born.
Who are X, Y and Z?

(There are three possible answers, though two of them involve the same Y and Z).

I can get Y and Z I think; just finding X.

 

[ataraxia]

Johnny Briggs is X.

Wilfred Rhodes is Y.

George Headley is Z.

 

[AndrewB]

Johnny Briggs is X.

Wilfred Rhodes is Y.

George Headley is Z.

Unlucky - Briggs and Rhodes both played in the 1899 Ashes, but not in the same Test.

 

[ataraxia]

Unlucky - Briggs and Rhodes both played in the 1899 Ashes, but not in the same Test.

Yeah, thought that could've been the case -- I didn't have time to check.

 

[cnerd123]

Can we ask for clues?

This is a tough as nails puzzle.

Can we ask for clues?

ataraxia's answer was partially correct.

 

[ataraxia]

ataraxia's answer was partially correct.

Yeah; I think I've got it this time.

Bill Storer is X.

Wilfred Rhodes is Y.

Derek Sealy is Z.

 

[AndrewB]

Yes, that's one of the three answers.

 

[ataraxia]

Reggie Duff can be X as well I think.

 

[AndrewB]

Correct.
The third answer involves much more recent players (B and C are still alive).

 

[ataraxia]

Correct.
The third answer involves much more recent players (B and C are still alive).

You mean Y and Z?

 

[AndrewB]

Yes, sorry. (It was "A, B and C" when I was first typing it, but I thought "A played in a Test" was a bit confusing).

 

[trundler]

Hmm. Is X Malcolm Marshall and Y Tendulkar?
