(6) Kenya didn't participate in 1992 WC as far as I know. I think they debuted on 1996. and if i remember correctly, the keeper was someone named Kennedy Otieno (?). well, this is from my memory. don't want to go to the cricinfo archives and check! no fun in that !

(2) I would guess it is Symonds

(9) it is Martin Crowe. but he injured when batting, so while NZ fielding his deputy John Wright was in charge of captain. am I right?

[iZeeshan]

2? Afridi I believe?

[W63L35]

Who was skipper of the New Zealand team that lost to Pakistan in the semi final of the 92 World Cup?

Martin Crowe

How many deliveries did Saeed Anwar face on his debut test?

He got a pair..... this part I knew without looking.

According to Cricinfo, he faced 5 balls in 1st innings and 3 balls in 2nd.... for a total of 8 without scoring a run.

4-Scott(cant recall the full name)
5-Burnley

[legslip]

I dont think Wasim put anybody out of the world cup in 92. I remember he yorked Lara who retired hurt, but he eventually recovered.

Looking forward to the answer for the last question.

Regarding number six, I don' tthink it was Otienno. I think it was some roly poly guy called Iqbal. I Remember this very well since he kept wicket in the game they won agasinst Windies and I got highlights of that game. BIg roly poly like figure and wore some huge glasses. Remember he dropepd a sitter but then took a stunner with one hand going the way (it was a inside edge).

Kenya played 6 matches in 1996 WC. They used two keepers in that tournament;

KO Otieno
vs IND, SL, AUS

IT Iqbal
vs ZIM (washout, only 15 overs possible), ZIM (replay), WI,

Officially (from record books standpoint)..... the captain was Crowe.

[Saj]

ok correct answers so far as follows :-

1. Panesar
2. McCullum
3.
4. Chris Scott
5. Burnley
6. He didnt play in 92 WC
7.
8. 8
9. Martin Crowe
10.

So, the answers for questions 3, 7 and 10 remain outstanding.

[legslip]

Wasim didnt put anybody out of the 1992 world, nor in the preceding Sri Lanka and West Indies series in 91/92. It must be a FC player during a domestic match?

[dinakar]

I have seen the clips of Mahanama getting injured by Wasim, not sure about the year. but then, Mahanama indeed played the WC. Saj has already got one question wrong related to the 92 WC, Kenya's participation may be one more?

[Saj]

It was during one of the warmup matches before the World Cup.

[Saj]

3 answers still remain

[crazul]

Rumesh Ratnayake got injured in a warmup against Pakistan, so i suppose it is him Wasim put out of the wc!

[Saj]

ok here's a clue for number 3. He was an Aussie all rounder.

[W63L35]

Originally Posted by Saj ok here's a clue for number 3. He was an Aussie all rounder.

Simon O'Donnell? He played his last match just before 1992 WC?

...or Greg Matthews?

Can't be Moody or Waugh brothers.

[Saj]

O'Donnell is correct.

2 answers remain

[W63L35]

Originally Posted by Saj O'Donnell is correct. 2 answers remain

Can you re-word the last question? Third delivery of what .... same innings... different innings... different match? It does not make sense...........unless a batsman hit two sixes.....then the innings ends (declaration in a test or 50 overs ended in an ODI).........and then while fielding, he took a catch on the first ball when the opponents batted.

[Saj]

unless a batsman hit two sixes.....then the innings ends (declaration in a test or 50 overs ended in an ODI).........and then while fielding, he took a catch on the first ball when the opponents batted.

thats exactly what happened.

1) Did it happen in an ODI?

[12thMan]

I got there before you . I delayed posting it as I was trying to find the wicket keeper who played for Bishop Auckland and post the two answers together.

[W63L35]

Here another one;

Of all the batsmen who have scored 250 or more runs in a test innings, only three have been started a test match as the official wicket keeper of their side.

One is Sangakkara, who are the other two?

Note: Dravid has not been an official keeper in a test.

Note, for this question, the batsman scoring 250+ need not have kept wickets in that same match.

Hanif Mohammed and Justine Langer (?)

[W63L35]

Very good guess but only one (Hanif) is correct.

[SameerM]

Alec stewert?

[dinakar]

Originally Posted by SameerM Alec stewert?

Stewart and Andy Flower are the first names coming to everyone's mind. but both do not have 250 scores.

[dinakar]

Originally Posted by W63L35 Very good guess but only one (Hanif) is correct.

isn't Langer first came as a WK? atleast in ODI's?

what about Miandad? I know he did wicket keeping occasionally.

[Saj]

well done PlanetP, Ian Smith is correct.

Still one answer remains though

[Saj]

last chance for the answer to question 7.

[KB]

The only two Durham keepers that I can think of are Martin Speight and Phil Mustard.

[PlanetPakistan]

Originally Posted by Saj last chance for the answer to question 7.

Mustard?

[W63L35]

Originally Posted by SameerM Alec stewert?

No. His highest test innings was 190.

Yes... they never crossed 250.

Originally Posted by dinakar isn't Langer first came as a WK? atleast in ODI's? what about Miandad? I know he did wicket keeping occasionally.

Both never got selected as wicketkeepers in the team when they made the debut.

Hanif and Sangakara STARTED their test careers as wicket keepers....and so did this 3rd guy. Clue.... this guy retired from international cricket before 1980.

[legslip]

Name the former Durham wicketkeeper who also played semi professional football for Bishop Auckland?

Andrew Pratt?

[legslip]

Fothergill , Evans or Harlan?

[Saj]

Originally Posted by legslip Fothergill , Evans or Harlan?

legslip, brilliant. It was Andy "Geordie" Fothergill.

I was lucky enough to play 5 a side in the same team as Fothergill and what a player he was. One of those guys who was just a talent at any sport he tried.
