The Ultimate Quiz On English Cricket Grounds

1 day ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on the cricket grounds in England. The Weald is an area in South England, spreading across parts of Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. Historians largely agree upon it as the birthplace of cricket. However, organised cricket was still centuries away. In 1772, Broadhalfpenny Down in Hambledon hosted what is unanimously recorded as the first ever first-class match, between Hampshire and an “England” team.
Quiz! Gayle, Pollard, Russell – How Well Do You Know The West Indian T20 Giants? | Wisden Cricket Quiz

2 days ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on the great T20 cricketers from the West Indies. For two decades from the mid-1970s, the West Indies had ruled cricket in both Test cricket and ODIs. However, like all dynasties, theirs began to fade out in the new millennium. The 2004 Champions Trophy did little to change their fortunes. However, the advent of T20 cricket again brought the best out of them.

4 days ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on Australian fast bowlers. At Melbourne in 1878/79, Fred Spofforth completed the first hat-trick in the history of Test cricket. England were chasing 85 two and a half years later at The Oval. From 51-2, they collapsed to 77 as Spofforth claimed 7-44, including six dismissals without assistance from a fielder – and a mock obituary led to the birth of the Ashes. The Demon, they used to call him.
Quiz! Record-Breakers And Instant Hits – How Well Do You Know The IPL's Replacement Players? | Wisden Cricket Quiz

6 days ago | wisden.com | Rahul Iyer

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions about the IPL's replacement players. Without an 'open market', IPL teams' primary method of signing new players is through the auction – either mini-auctions, which take place every year, or mega-auctions which come every three years. Trades are allowed, but sparingly used.
Quiz! Batters Dismissed Most Often By Pat Cummins In Test Cricket

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to name the batters dismissed most often by Pat Cummins in Test cricket. At 18 years 193 days, Cummins was the youngest Australian to play Test cricket when he debuted at Johannesburg in 2011/12. He claimed seven wickets and hit the winning runs to seal a two-wicket triumph. Australia levelled the two-Test series 1-1 – a much-needed result after they had been bowled out for 47 in the first Test.
Quiz! Every Cricketer To Play A Test Match Against Captain Rohit Sharma

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to name every cricketer who played a Test match against an Indian side led by Rohit Sharma. Rohit could have made his Test debut at Nagpur in 2010, but a last-minute injury delayed that by three years. Three years passed before he eventually played a Test match. When he did, he announced his arrival with a hundred in each of his first two games in the format. As the years passed by, Rohit rose in stature as a batter and, in other formats, as captain.
Quiz! Sons Of Gold Medalists, Nephews Of Ace Golfers – Do You Know These Cricketers Related To Athletes? | Wisden Cricket Quiz

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on cricketers who are related to athletes in other sports. Cricketing families are not uncommon. It is, after all, not unexpected of a youngster to follow the career path of an already established cricketer. There are also instances of siblings growing up to become cricketers, or cricketers marrying each other. A cricketer being related to an athlete in another sport, while not as common, is not unheard of either.
Quiz! Every Left-Arm Bowler To Take At Least Two Ten-Wicket Hauls In Test Cricket

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to name every bowler to take at least two ten-wicket hauls in Test cricket. There are significantly fewer left-armers than their right-handed counterparts. To take ten wickets in a Test match is to account for half the maximum possible scalps a team is allotted. The intersection of the two sets is, thus, extremely small. To perform such a feat is rare. To repeat it is incredible.
Quiz! Walcott, Dhoni, Pooran – How Well Do You Know These Wicketkeepers Who Bowled? | Wisden Quiz

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on wicketkeepers who bowled in serious cricket. As roles, bowling and keeping wicket are often perceived as mutually exclusive. At a basic level, that holds – for it is impossible to keep wicket to one’s own bowling in serious cricket. However, some wicketkeepers have bowled over the course of their careers. In this, few have been as prolific as Derbyshire’s Bill Storer, who played six Test matches for England between 1896/97 and 1899.
Quiz! Every Cricketer To Appear In An England-Zimbabwe Test Match

1 week ago | wisden.com | Abhishek Mukherjee

In this quiz, you have to name every cricketer to have appeared in a Test match between England and Zimbabwe. In 1992, Zimbabwe became the ninth team to play a men’s Test match, against India. Over the next decade and a bit, they played six Test matches against England. Draws at Bulawayo and Harare helped them level the first series between the sides, in 1996, but England won the next two series, both of which they hosted.
