Man those ten overs were so much fun to watch...!!!

 

[Briggsey]

Well id say that was close, probably shorter in time but the one i have here was actually between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, in 1996. All but 50 minutes of the match was rained out

 

[shahid6995]

No, then Andrew is right, if the first two-three days are rained out the match still does not get abandoned, while this one was.

 

[Briggsey]

Yes i agree, the Sri Lanka one is probably near tho, how about another question then?

Who are the only 2 batsmen to bat in all 11 positions in test cricket?

 

[andrew_nixon]

The West Indies v England match is the shortest one.

Ravi Shastri is one (not using internet to search) :

Well you have to have a LIFE too you know... if I knew all that off the top of my head without any homework, then I would not want to live anymore.

I know Ronnie initially said no cheating, but I see this as an open book exam... you cant possibly answer some of these questions without looking it up. For me its an educational thing, I am learning even more about cricket history this way.

ideally a quiz means you should not get answers from a external source. and to be fair the questions too should not come from searching thru stats etc.

If you're going to ask a question, make sure you actually know the answer.

And in any case you even got the venue for the first international of any level wrong. It was played in New York.
