1. 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994: The sole quintuple century ever made; the previous record, 499 by Hanif Mohammed, had stood for 35 years.
7. Jim Laker: 19 Australian wickets for 90 runs in 1956 at Old Trafford.
8. 364 by Len Hutton v Australia at The Oval, 1938. This stood as a word record for 20 years until Sobers beat it.
21. 18 golds, double the second highest tally.
26. Kevin Tunstall by a country mile!

4 - Can't remember the exact amount, but it was more than the 375 Brian Lara got as the record, but less than the 400 Brian Lara got a year or so later to beat it!
5 - If in a test match, got to be Jim Laker 10-53 ?
24 - Barcelona 2-0 Man Utd

It is in between those two, closer to the 375 mark 5. Laker it is, although for whatever unbeknown reason people consider Anil Kumble's 10 for against Pakistan to be better, 1pt 24.

2. 175 goals, including the one he scored in 2012 while on loan from the New York Red Bulls. 2. Thierry Henry scored 175 premier league goals. My answer of 228 included cup matches. Thierry scored 42 European goals including 35 in the European cup. The rest were scored in FA cup/League cup and Community shield matches. I believe the question asked how many goals did Thierry score for the Arsenal |

Post by Deleted on May 21, 2013 12:15:53 GMT
12 I have three alternatives for you:
a) (if a One Day International World Cup match counts as a Test) Herschell Gibbs (S.A) 6 sixes v.Holland in 2007.
otherwise it's four:
b) Shahid Alfridi for Pakistan v India in 2005 (6,6,6,6,2,1)
c) Kapil Dev for India v England (0,0,6,6,6,6 off Eddie Hemmings, Lords, 1990)
Of course, none of these compare with the great W.I. Gary Sobers's 6 sixes in a first-class match (Glamorgan v Notts 1968) - 45 years ago but still fresh in the memory and will remain so long after the 4-in an over ones have been forgotten or surpassed ! ;D

14. Three by Sir Chris Hoy, Beijing 2008. (His other three Olympic golds were in 2004 (1) and 2012 (2). Watch out for cycling's golden pair Jason Kenny and Laura Trott - 2 golds each in 2012 and with time on their side !

My quiz doesnt seem to be that popular ;) It's a great quiz, Phil, and it's probably just that we've exhausted our abilities to provide educated guesses, and will soon be obliged to resort to Googling the last few answers ! |

23. Rivaldo's combined career goal talley 382 club plus 34 International = 416. Rivaldo star of the funniest-ever bit of play-acting I've seen on a football field: Turkish defender Hakan Ünsal kicked a ball towards Rivaldo, who was waiting at the corner flag. The ball struck his thigh, but Rivaldo fell to the ground clutching his face. The referee sent the Turkish player off with a second yellow card. |
