Cricket Quiz

[Gambit]

Taking a break from regular programming i.e. bashing/praising SRT, I shall start a thread for the real aficionados. One question each. The person who gets it right asks a question. I'll kick things off. Who is the only player to have played for England v Australia as well as Australia v England?

[Donny]

That's a top question Gambit. I'll leave it for an hour. :wink_smile:

Assuming I got this right , here is my question. "On the field , I go after batsman with my quick bowling . Off it , I go after criminals. Who am I ? ".

[Gambit]

Yup. That was correct. Good going mariss. Shane Bond.

[King]

That was easy Sriram.

[Ram]

Hmm... Ravi , even if you know the answer for this one please dont say it out. Which internationel cricketer's nickname is synonomous with a popular NBA star's own nickname ?

[MundaPakistani]

[Donny]

Are both or either still playing ?

[Ram]

Nope, both retired.

[Donny]

[Ram]

Nope.. He wasnt the guy i had in mind. But , Can you please tell how Kim Hughes fits into the question ? My question is still open though.

[Donny]

More recently ? Chris Harris played cricket for New Zealand Chris Harris is a current Chigago Bears player.

[The Outsider]

^ Donny, I think Marris' question is about nicknames if I am not mistaken. With my knowledge of NBA I have close to zero chance of getting this one.

[MundaPakistani]

Sriram, koi hint doo yaar.
