Where else are people supposed to find all the answers?

P.S: Any guesses to my qustion?

Well, its a quiz..., so you are supposed to know the answer. Everyone can find it from the internet. It is like writing the test with a book with all the answers.

I understand your point. But this is the internet, you cannot barr people from looking up answers and some of these questions are too hard for even the biggest experts, so people will naturally look up the answers. The point of this thread is not to see who is the most knowledgable. It is just a way for the person asking the question and the person researching the answer to learn something about cricket they might not have found out any other way.

I, for one, learned a lot about cricket because of this thread. I am a huge Pakistani cricket fan and I just found out that statistically Shoaib Malik is one of the best Pakistani all-rounders of all time in ODIs. I might never have known that if I weren't researching the internet thanks to this thread.

I'll get off my soap box now.....

what do Zimbabweans Neil Johnson and Duncan Fletcher have in common?

Nice and clear question there......

Off hand, both are Zimbabwean, both were born in Harare, both played for Western Province in South African cricket, both played ODIs for Zimbabwe.......

Is it anything in particular you're thinking of, cause they have a lot in common!

both johnson and fletcher have scored a half century & taken 4 wickets in a World Cup match. fletcher did it in 1983 and johnson in 1999..they are the only Zim cricketers to do it..

Now the question you asked has lots of possible answers. Try and ask questions that have one answer, or where the answer is a list. In this case, it would have been better to ask "Who are the only Zimbabweans to take 4 wickets and score a half century in a world cup match?", rather than a question that has at least 5 possible answers.

Least you actually got an answer to your own question right for a change though........

Hang on a minute, you can't just keep asking questions! If someone gets it right, it's their turn!
