Sorry, I made a mistake in the question. There is only 1 ball left.

Changing the rules on us Andrew? Ok, ball no-balls deliberately, beam all the remaining batsmen and retire them hurt. England wins without needing a legitimate delivery!

Except, that means that not all Aussie batsmen have been dismissed, and the match finishes in a draw.

It's not a draw if they don't come back out...

But they'd win anyway, 4 no balls = 4 runs

Good point, and of course the beamers would be given as no-balls.

Dammit... ok Andrew whats the answer??

 

[andrew_nixon]

ok. wickets 1+2 are either run outs from no balls or stumpings from wides.

wicket 3 is running the non-striking batsman out whilst he is backing up.

wicket 4 is any dismissal.

Seen as no one got that one, I'll ask another.

Who are the only two players to play ODIs for two countries?
And who is the only player to play all his Tests for one country and all his ODIs for another?

Assuming you mean Kepler Wessels, then yes that's right.

The other one played his most recent ODI in 2004.

Clayton Lambert.
WI player regularly, then played for USA in the Champions Trophy 2004.

PS. Still not happy with your explaination of the last question lol... we pretty much got most of it right, including the backing up too far part!

good one (if you haven't searched on the net )

I knew it was "THAT WI PLAYER!!!" as soon as I read the question, but I admit I had to look up the name. :

Well thinking about Andrew's question though... Lambert did play ODIs for WI too. hmmm... so Lambert may be the player who apart from Wessels has played for two countries but he doesnt fit the second question.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Still the second one to get. Which player played all his tests for one country, and all his ODIs for another?

 

[dash]

Is it Gavin Hamilton

 

[sachinisgod]

hey if i remember it rite - Graeme Hick was a part of the Zim Squad in 1983 WC... am I sleepy or right?

 

[shahid6995]

Is it Gavin Hamilton

Dammit thats right. Only Test for England, only ODIs for Scotland. Good one Dash. Ask a question.

Sachin, you are not so sleepy. Hick's debut was 1991, for England, and I dont think he ever played at the international level for Zim. He was in the squad though with Zim in the 1987 WC, but only got on as a substitute fielder occasionally.
