Trivia teaser. What team ?

[The Outsider]

Holding and Tasmania reminds me some anecdote I read of his - in his very first match for Tasmania Holding had the batsman getting a huge nick to the keeper and everyone went up, but the umpire was unmoved. The slips were particularly agitated, but Holding was pretty calm and bowled one more delivery to complete the over and when the umpire said, "Over" - Holding quipped, "At least you can count maaan".:giggle:

What do the 12 Test cricketers in this team have in common ? #5. Simon Katich Mike Hussey Younis Khan Andrew Symonds Scott Styris Azhar Mahmood Jason Gillespie Shoaib Akhtar Jonathon Lewis Stuart Clark Shane Bond 12th. man: Andre Adams Huss would have to keep, as I couldn't find a Test keeper to fit the criteria.

Anything to do with the number of first class teams they have represented?

All born in 1975

[Mr. Wicket]

Younis Khan was born in 1977. Well, that's what his CI profile states.

Younis Khan was born in 1977. Well' date=' that's what his CI profile states.[/quote'] Damn, everyone else was born in 1975 (all except Younis). :((

[Mr. Wicket]

Maybe Younis was really born in 1975... never trust a Pakistani's official date of birth. (Shahid Afridi, 1980? :rotfl: )

Apologies Graph. Quite correct. I had YK in my notes as Feb. 28, 1975. My double check reveals that's Azhar's birthdate. Too much multi tasking.
