Well, Wimbledon tennis has finished, and the World Cup football has less than a week to go......what are we armchair sportsmen going to do with ourselves ? Well there's always Cricket for the summer, and the series with Sri Lanka went by virtually unnoticed (we lost it 0-1). And today we're being hammered all around the ground by India !
Anyway, here's a cricketing quiz with a nod and a well done to Sri Lanka:
1 Who did Sri Lanka beat in the 1996 Cricket World Cup final ?
2 Who is Sri Lanka's leading run scorer ?
3 Who are the four Sri Lankans with 100 Test wickets ? (0.5pt for each)
4 Which feisty character captained Sri Lanka from 1989 to 1999 ?
5 Which left-arm spinner took 12 wickets in Sri Lanka's 75-run win over England in the first Test at Galle in 2012 ?
6 Who was the only Sri Lankan named in the 2011 ICC World Test XI ?
7 Who took just 17 balls to hit a half-century in a 1-Day international against Pakistan in 1996 ?
8 Aravinda de Silva played county cricket for which side ?
9 Which India and Surrey left-arm spinner did Muttiah Muralitharan dismiss to claim his record-breaking 800th Test wicket ?
10 Who scored a century for Sri Lanka in the 2011 Cricket World Cup final ?
11 Who was the first Sri Lankan to score 6,000 Test runs ?
12 In 2011, which Sri Lankan became the first player to take a hat trick of ODI hat tricks ?
13 Which Sri Lankan mystery spinner took 6 for 16 in a T20 game against Australia in 2011 ?
14 Who hit a century and was named man of the match in the 1996 World Cup final ?
15 Who, in 1982, became the first player to score a Test century for Sri Lanka ?
16 In which city will you find the R.Premadasa Stadium ?
17 In what decade did Sri Lanka play their first Test match ?
18 Who scored 193 in the 2011 Lords Test, the highest score by a Sri Lankan captain at that ground ?
19 Who took Sri Lanka's first, and so far only, Test hat-trick in the first over of a game against Zimbabwe in 1999 ?
20 How many Test wickets did Muttiah Muralitharan take ? a)800 ? b)850 ? c)900 ?
1pt per correct answer, no more than 8 answers per 4 hour period. And try not to duplicate an answer that someone else has already given...... Good luck !
