fast medium.
 is currently studying economic & social sciences at the
University of Sydney.

marketable sportsperson in the world, & rather
surprisingly the most marketable Australian athlete.

Q8: 15/10
 X is a former New Zealand fast-medium bowler who
played in 48 Tests & 96 ODIs.
 His most notable accomplishment as a bowler might be
taking an ODI hat-trick, but as a batsman, his most
notable “accomplishment” would be that he once held the
world record for Test ducks. Out of the 48 Tests he played,
he was dismissed for 0 in 24 innings! To “celebrate” his
world record, he even manufactured a tie featuring
numerous ducks!
 However, he did have some batting prowess in his final
test innings wherein he contributed 14 runs in a 106-run
match saving partnership with Nathan Astle.
 His autobiography is titled as ‘Mad As I Wanna Be’.

Q9: 15/10
 After scoring 269* against West Indies in Hobart & an
undefeated 106 in Melbourne, X hit 239 against New
Zealand in his 14th test at Wellington – a grand total of
614 runs between dismissals. This shattered the
previous record of 497, established by Sachin
Tendulkar. As a result, his average dropped from
105.58 immediately before he was out to 97.46, just
behind Don Bradman’s record of 99.94. But after 14
Test matches, even Bradman averaged “only” 94.45.
So essentially, X has got the highest average after 14
Test matches. Identify X.

Q10: 20/15

celebrated the match with a drinking session at the
Bull Inn.

& his elder sister was also an actress.
 Identify this cricketer.

Q14: 15/10
 This is an unconventional fielding position, roughly
between the deep midwicket & wide long-on
boundary. It is so called because few “legitimate”
shots are aimed to this part of the field, so fielders
are rarely placed there. The term is thought to have
originated at Dulwich College where there was a part
of the field containing livestock on that playing area.
 Identify the fielding position.

Q16: 20/15
 Sunil Gavaskar surpassed X’s record which
hadn’t been broken for quite sometime at
Madras in December 1983. On being
congratulated on surpassing the record, he
quickly shrugged off the ‘record’ tag and
remarked: “X’s tally is still the record. It will
only be surpassed if a batsman………………”
 Identify X, the record and how would the
‘record’, according to Gavaskar be surpassed
by any batsman ?

X: DON BRADMAN
RECORD: Most No. of Test Centuries.
Gavaskar scored his 30th ton in his 99th test, whereas
Bradman had 29 tons in just 52 games. He therefore
remarked that his record could be broken only is someone
is able to score 30 centuries in 52 matches.

Q17: 20/15
 Mohammed Amir has played 18 Tests since his debut which
makes him the record holder for playing most tests since
debut without doing a specific thing. The previous record
holder was a former England opener Geoff Pullar who
waited 17 Tests since his debut to do this.
 Though the record for most Tests played in succession
without doing such a thing belongs to Australian fast
bowler Peter Siddle who has played 24 more tests since
the last time he did this & he might ‘improve’ his record
if he gets a chance to play again.
 So, what has Amir not done yet which makes him this
record holder ?

AMIR hasn’t taken a
CATCH yet in Tests.
