special feeling, mostly because I am the
world record holder for the most
________! But to eventually reach it (300
wickets) is something I have worked for a
long time to achieve.”
What particularly unwanted record was
Morne Morkel referring to?

12. Currently a football stadium for one of
the ISL teams, this stadium was used for
cricket from 1956 to 1965 and saw 9
matches hosted here when it used to
have a different name. The first fixture
here saw a world record being erected
which came under threat in 2006 and was
eventually toppled 52 year later in 2008
in a South Africa vs Bangladesh fixture.
Which stadium/city? What was the
record?

Corporation Stadium/Chennai (in case someone has
written Chepauk/MA Chidambaram no points would be
given). The record for the highest opening partnership in
Test cricket was set here by Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj
Roy (413 runs)

13. What long standing batting record
associated with an Indian for three
decades was first equaled by Aneurin
Donald in 2016 and then broken by an
Afghanistan batsman Shafiqullah Shafiq in
2018?

Fastest double hundred in First
Class cricket set by Ravi Shastri

14. “I was stepping out and easily hitting
my shots. He was mostly padding. I said
there is no spin, you can charge and play.
It took me 2-3 overs to convince him.”
This is Virender Sehwag recalling an
incident from an India-England match
held at Bangalore in 2002.
What unique occurrence took place as a
result of Sehwag’s advice?

Sachin Tendulkar getting
stumped in Test cricket
The bowler was Ashley

James Foster

who was the English
team Physiotherapist in
the 70’s and 80’s. He is

16. Before Imran Khan, which other
Pakistan captain had studied Politics,
Philosophy and Economics from Oxford
and also married the daughter of
Warwickshire’s chairman Cyril Hastilow
during his time in England?

17. In 2004, X was hit on the head by a
delivery by an Indian bowler Y. Although
no conclusive links have been established
between the incident and the subsequent
behavior, but this player’s behavior
proved fairly erratic post this incident. In
2006, he was banned from playing cricket
in England after threatening spectators.
He was arrested for arson at the offices of
the Harare Sports Club the same year.
Who are the two cricketers in question?
For X, surname is
enough

18. We don't often see batsmen do this but most
famously Chris Gayle has done it in the recent past,
including in the match against South Africa where De
Villiers scored the fastest ton. However, at the turn of
the century, another left-hander X was often seen doing
this which some said added to his style factor while
confounding others.
However, little do people know that he didn't do it for
style but for medical reasons. When stepping down
from captaincy ahead of the 2000 Champions Trophy,
he opened up about it and said if not for that, he would
be out of the game for close to 6 months. He said then,
"If it gets worse I'll take their (the surgeons) advice,
because my aim is to have a long term future in the
game." Who is the batsman? What are we talking
about?

Brian Lara batting with
sunglasses in 1999-00

19. This bowler created history with an ODI hat-
trick in 2014 and helped his country to a
memorable win by hitting the winning six in the
same series. But his career went downhill after
that as his action was found illegal. He was
forced to drastically change his bowling and
started bowling medium pace and was picked in
the 2015 World Cup squad for his medium
pacers. However, the new style didn’t yield
wickets and eventually, his decade old intl.
career comprising of more than 200
internationals came to an end in that year itself.
Who is this bowler?
Surname is enough

20. Post the 2007 World T20 win, two cricketers
received cars. RP Singh got a Mercedes Benz.
Another cricketer got a Porsche.
While the bowler got his car from Neosport,
the Porsche was the prize of a bet that the then
BCCI Vice President had announced in the
dressing room for doing something particular
while the World T20 was on. What was the bet
and who had promised the Porsche to the
winner?

Lalit Modi had promised
a Porsche to anyone who
hit six sixes in an over

21. Before Cheteshwar Pujara played 525 balls
to play the longest innings by balls played by an
Indian in 2017 against Australia, the record for it
was held by Rahul Dravid who had played 495
balls for his 270 against Pakistan in the
Rawalpindi Test of 2004.
The longevity of that knock was even more
remarkable when seen in the light of what had
happened to Dravid in the innings just before
that in the second innings of the Lahore Test,
the only time it happened in his career.
What had happened?

Run out for a Diamond Duck/ faced
zero deliveries

22. X wasn’t in the original squad and it was
Paul Vautin who was supposed to play in this
1994 match. But illness caused Vautin to
withdraw, resulting in X playing the match. With
help from Steve Rixon and Dennis Lillee, X gave
a memorable performance, so much so that
when Graeme Pollock was adjudged as the Man
of the Match, he called upon X to share it with
him. Who is X, who is still widely remembered
for this match?

Zoe Goss
She dismissed both Lara
and Dujon in the 1994
Bradman foundation
charity match

23. This cricketer’s grandfather worked as a minister in
Antigua around the time of X's birth and, it is thought,
he baptised X, who would go on to become a great fast
bowler. There used to be a custom there to name a
child after the name of the minister who had carried
out the baptism.
The cricketer’s mother revealed that although she’s not
able to confirm it, it’s a possibility that the great
cricketer was named after the grandfather of the bowler
who made his debut in 2003 against South Africa and
won the MoTM for his 2nd inning match winning 6
wicket haul.
That’s the reason X’s name and this bowler’s surname
sound similar despite being spelled differently. Who are
the two cricketers?
For the cricketer
who made his debut
in 2003, surname is
enough

X- Curtly Ambrose,
James Kirtley

24. Opening up about a trouble that bugged him all his
cricket career, this cricketer said in 2010
“I would scream for these appeals and all my team-
mates would be silent as anything. Then it would work
the other way, I would get a nick and the wicketkeeper
would catch it and they would all scream the appeal and
I wouldn't appeal because I hadn't heard the nick.”
Who’s the cricketer? What ‘trouble’ did he face
throughout his cricket career?

Lance Cairns,
Hearing impairedness

25. To shrug off a forgettable episode of his career in
2000, this cricketer wore the number 00 to mark a fresh
beginning with the game. Subsequently, from 2004, he
went on to wear the number corresponding to the year
he was playing in i.e – 04 in 2004, 05 in 2005 and so on.
When he turned out for Mumbai Indians, he wore 74
which was his year of birth. Which cricketer?
