yay.. what do i win???

 

[SaiSrini]

I think that's a good idea... but I think by making teams of five we'll be denying a lot of interested members the chance to answer the questions... it would be better if we didn't do it in such a structured manner but still try and follow one question at a time format... coz it makes the thread easier and more interesting to read... and the no. of people participating is also not limited... but still I admit apart from this one limitation, ur idea's very good... thanks for the honor bestowed on me over there...

btw, I support this repping idea... but only if admins are the ones who are going to rep the ppl - coz obviously it means lotsa green out there

brad i assume that ur question's been answered...so an easier one here: who was the first batsman to score a double ton in the first innings and a ton in the second?

If aditya's idea is materialised, count me in for India. Anything for my BHARAT!!!

Your turn for a question shahid6995...

 

[shahid6995]

What was the first recorded hundred in a cricket match? Doesnt matter what status match it was.

 

[andrew_nixon]

John Minshull scored the first hundred on the 31st August 1769. Exactly 210 years before I was born.

 

[shahid6995]

Ok fine... Andrew gets the next question.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Ok.... one that may be a little easier this time......

How many test matches have been played at neutral venues, and when was the first?

 

[shahid6995]

Well just off my memory, there was the Pakistan series with WI in Sharjah and then with Australia at Sharjah too. I think there have been more tests at neutral venues when you include the Asian Test Championships, Pakistan played SL at Bangladesh in one of those. But the first? hmmm... not sure but I think there was one involving SA I think. Anyways to take a guess, I would say the 1999 ATC final b/w Pak and SL at Dhaka. I think I am wrong though.

 

[andrew_nixon]

You're way out with the first.

It should be South Africa v Australia in England way back (in 30s?) I think.

I think thats the one I meant when I said a match involving SA. And I already knew I was wrong Andrew, thanks for pointing out what I already wrote

 

[aditya123]

can my idea be materialised ?
We can also increase the number of players in each team to 9 or even 11 if we want more participation
we can change the teams every week to ensure that more people can participate .
I guarantee you that if implemented it could be one of the best features of planetcricket

You've got the match right, but the decade is still wrong.

And by the way, I don't like the idea of this organised teams thing some of you seem to be proposing. I think it's best to keep this informal.

 

[squiz]

Yeah just keep it simple, answer a question, ask a question...

 

[T20]

Yeah just keep it simple, answer a question, ask a question...

and get reps if you answer correctly..where are my reps?

I also couldn't get the exact date and day of the week.
