Yeah from memory Tino Best and that Aussie spinner who should have batted way higher would have beaten it.</p></blockquote>

Huh? <br>

<p>Noted, have added. Heaps of variants for that player and didn't add the most obvious one!</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Well yeah but if your number 11 is getting a big score it's a pretty safe bet the guy at the other end will be having a swing too.</p> -

<p>Our partnership is still #3 all time but was surpassed by Phil Hughes and Agar in 2013 which in turn was beaten by Root and Anderson against India 2 years ago. Current record is 198 - which would totally shit you right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Little known fact about the innings in which we set that 10th wicket partnership - we scored 402 with 10th wicket worth 151 - the opening stand was worth 159 (Rodney Redmonds century on debut). Apart from the 4 players who featured in those two stands only one other reached double figures and the next highest partnership was 23</p> -

<p>Yep, that's a big step up from the 250 they would have had if Collinge had submitted weakly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's cricket for ya though, I'm sure some plucky number 11 will get a test hundred sometime soon. Not as many Chris Martins walking around as there used to be.</p> -
<p>15 in the cricket, and looking at the names, even if you had given me another 10 minutes, i don't think i would have got any more. </p>
-
<p>25 in the coaches! fuck some of that was hard. I could have had 2 days and not got a few of those.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A couple i had completely forgotten, a couple i just never knew, a couple i had blocked....</p> -

<p>I remember the less famous opener in question one thanks to reading Wisdens years ago, his innings was definitely a once in a career effort ( literally ) but to get that against the Windies in the Windies is some fucken effort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He had a pretty ordinary career barring that innings.</p> -

<p> Oh I should have remembered him but didn't Coincidentally his last test was the one we scored our 10th innings record in He got 0.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He also co-founded Sky TV and gifted Ed Hillary's house to the nation</p> -

The way the quiz was structured you could get lucky by throwing a few of our bigger names around and hoping they slotted in somewhere.</p></blockquote>

<p>good quiz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got every one back to '68. Then the first 2, '36, and '56 and '60</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Took me a little while at the start to realise you can't just hammer in names, you have to actually click on the year. Made it harder, and better. </p> -

A couple of years ago I would have nailed them ... older now ...
