lol..well nobody is anwering so I think i will ask a question...When was the first test match between Australia and England played and who won it and by how many runs? I think they were 3 questions

The first test match between Australia and England was played at Melbourne between the 15th-19th March 1877 and Australia won it by 45 runs.

 

[surendar]

I believe it was against Sri Lanka, in the WC 99. - 373/6.
Ganguly - 183
Dravid - 145. Ah those were the days.

Question:

Here is the question people....

What is the India's highest team score in ODI's(Including the 50over exhibition matches)??????? which team was it against????

Actually i forgot that I have asked this question!!! Just saw it!!!

Well Argha, I asked including the exhibition matches!!! It was 396(I m nt sure about the exact but definitely 390 plus!!!!!!!). In that match also,Jadeja attempted to hit a four off the last ball but caught... Almost every batsmen scored 50plus...If i am right Azhar,Kambli 50 plus and Sachin & someone 100 plus!!! It would be nice if someone gets the correct stats of this match!!!!

It was INDIA Vs NZ exhibition match!!!!(not included in official records)

Who created Snickometer & Hawkeye? (Note: They are two different persons)

 

[Azza!]

I've seen a story on Paul Hawkins - the creator of Hawkeye (hence the name)

I've got no answer for snicko though

 

[Skater]

Who created Snickometer & Hawkeye? (Note: They are two different persons)

I'm just going to take an educated guess. Snick 'O Meter was invented by New Zealander Martin Crowe and HawkEye was invented, as Azza said, by Paul Hawkins. :upray

 

[viral1991]

Hawkeye by Paul Hawkins, correct!

For Snicko, if 5 people say that they give up, I will tell the answer!

 

[puddleduck]

They guy behind Snickometer is Alan something or other, I know its not Plunkett but at this moment in time thats all that's in my head. It's something like Plankett or Plankskett. Arg I'm sure it will come to me once someone else answers it :

 

[Azza!]

I'd imagine it would be some university professor or someone like that, not a former NZ cricketer. Puddleduck has more of a clue than I do about snicko!

 

[puddleduck]

I remember now! Alan Plaskett, I am pretty sure him and whatever his company is called are behind the Snickometer Took a while to get Plunkett out my head and once I did it all fell into place.

 

[viral1991]

Right Answer! Now, I hope more people give questions!

 

[a massive zebra]

Who is the only player to hold the record for the highest individual innings in first class cricket for over 50 years? Which years did he hold it?

 

[Hamish]

I think it's Hanif Mohhamad. And I think Brian Lara broke it with his 501 not out...

 

[a massive zebra]

Nope.

Hanif got his 499 in 1959 and Lara got his 501* in 1994, that is only 35 years.

 

[Bilal91]

My initial thought was Hanif as well...i really don't know...my guess would be Don Bradman...
