Trivia teaser. What team ?

[Rajan]

I don't understand that answer. Please rephrase. :regular_smile:

i tried to explain: they represented their respective countries in international cricket, state teams in domestic cricket with distinction in first class level, also were chosen as over seas professional in county teams/sheffield shield teams - almost served 4 teams professionally with excellent track record right thru career in various capacities- player/captain/specialist coach/administrator..., at some point of time in their career all the players in the team have played in 4 shield teams?

[Donny]

You tried to explain - unsuccessfully - twice now. Are you giving 4 answers ? The first 2 are obvious and therefore not noteworthy. Don Bradman never played County cricket. NONE of those players have played in 4 Shield teams. In fact, NO player has ever played in 4 Sheild teams.

i meant all players together have represented only 4 shield teams. i went thro the stats for shield games, found Botham, Barry, Garner, Imran representing shield teams. i think i approached it from many possible angles. at least i tried. will try again tomorrow if it is still not broken!

[Donny]

Every one of the 6 Oz Shield teams is represented in that team. (But that's not the commonality) Thanks for giving it some thought, Rajan. :regular_smile:

All wore Calvin Klein briefs, :--D j/k

I was going to say jockey briefs.:P

[Donny]

You did. :stupido2::boring: Obviously, these players all played for Australian state teams but so have thousands of others. What's significant about these 12 cricketers ? Bob Simpson Barry Richards Don Bradman Greg Chappell Darren Lehmann Adam Gilchrist Imran Khan Ian Botham Tony Lock Dennis Lillee Michael Holding Wes Hal

[Donny]

No takers ? :regular_smile:

[nikred]

^^^they captained those county teams.:nervous:

[Donny]

In Oz, they're states. In England (other countries, too), they're counties. No. Not all captained Aussie state sides. Good try.

oh yeah.......state sides.:D

[nikred]

they all got kicked out of those state teams after a string of poor performances.:P

[Donny]

No.

[Donny]

Bzzzzzzzzzzz. Time's up. They all played for an Australian state team after starting their careers with another first class team. Simpson: WA to NSW Chappell: SA to Queensland Lehmann: SA to Victoria to SA Bradman: NSW to SA Gilchrist: NSW to WA Lillee: WA to Tasmania Richards: SA Hall and Botham: Q'land Imran: NSW Holding: Tasmania Lock: WA --------------------------------------- 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.

[Donny]

They all played for an Australian state team after starting their careers with another first class team. That is the case. I re-read post #161. I didn't see where you gave that answer.
