1. Of these three, who has the highest Test batting average? George Headley, Sir Garry Sobers or Herbert Sutcliffe
2. In what city is Newlands cricket ground located?
3. Which Test cricketer was born in Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea?
4. Who is this cricketer? I have taken 383 wickets at average 28.40
5. Who were the 2 captains in the 2007 cricket World Cup final?

7. In what year was the first ever Test match?
8. Which team won the first mens Cricket World Cup?
9. Who has scored the most ODI runs?

If the questions are too easy Ill make them harder next time. Same goes for if they are too hard.

Good luck
