Blog-Cricket-Quiz-1

Here are the answers. I have also posted them on my blog http://cricketestats.blogspot.com

1. The cricketer in the picture-1 is James Southerton, He holds the record for oldest Test
debutant . He was 49yrs and 119days when he made his debut along with other 21 players in that
first ever test match played at Melbourne from March 15th-19th, 1877
2. The players in picture-2 are Aminul Islam of Bangladesh, Dave Houghton of Zimbabwe and
Charles Bannerman of Australia. They all hit a century on debut in the first ever Test played by
their respecitve countries.
3.Picture-3 is ML Jaisimha , who was the first to achieve of the feat of batting on all five days of a
Test match in 1959/60 series against Australia. Flintoff achieved it in the 2nd Test of the recently
concluded series against India at Mohali. In between Geoff Boycott of England, Kim Hughes of
Australia, Allan Lamb of England and Ravi Shasthri of India too achieved the feat. Only Jaisimha
and Flintoff did not hit a century in the test match though they batted on all 5 days.
4.Picture-4 , I guess is the sitter of the quiz. Sachin Tendulkar
5.Picture-5 is Bill Voce , who was the only player other than Bradman and Hammond to have
played in the last and 1st Test matches in Australia before and after the World War. He is more
famous as a bowling partner of Harold Larwood during the (in)famous Bodyline Series.
Immediately after the War Australia introduced a new law which requires a limit on the duration of
a Test Match. Till then all the Test matches played in Australia were timeless tests and required to
be played till there was a result. Though there were couple of drawn matches they were ended
with an agreement between the two sides
