Got it.

Zorax got most of them right, so he can ask the next question.

 

[Shadow007]

Fine with me. I can't be arsed thinking of a decent one anyway.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Similar to my last question-What is M.Khan's best bowling figures?

Three hints will be given-

Seriously speaking such questions can only be answered by the members who are prepared to search hard and long,it doesnt test their cricketing knowledge.Just my thoughts.

How so?

Because you're not simply looking for countries that have played representative cricket at the top level, but something more specific and very difficult to answer without lots of guessing. It's made difficult by the exact definition of that which you seek, hence, difficult by semantics.

Yeah I agree, I tried to get my point across but everyone ignored me. A quiz is supposed to test someone's knowledge not to make him go through various resources to find it out. For example, a question like 'What is Jaques Kallis's highest score in ODIs?' is reasonably hard (for me atleast), but with a website you can find it within 5 mins and it spoils the fun.

 

[andrew_nixon]

I think the perfect question is one that can be found by looking on the internet, but needs a lot of effort to find on the internet. The answers to my last two questions can be found on the internet, but it would take a hell of a lot of effort, plus a little guesswork, to find.

 

[angryangy]

The problem with that noble sentiment is that brute force guesswork would likely beat a dilligent searcher.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Okay, I'll reveal a few clues.

A) He hasn't represented his country as of yet.
B) Is not eligible for Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Zimababwe and all non-test nations.

Should be made a lot easier.

 

[satishmania]

What does "M" stand for?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Forget this stupid question.

Here is another one, no Cricinfo or reaserching. Just off the top of your head.

Q)A toughie: What is Mohammed Yousuf's batting average in tests and his highest score? Also a bonus on who can guess who has dissmissed him most number of times.

And BTW, the answer to the previous one was 2/24 for Murad Khan of Bangladesh. Slow left arm spinner.

 

[Adarsh]

Average: 41, highest score 175 and Pathan has dismissed him most times.
