Cricket Quiz 2

I hope readers found Cricket Quiz interesting.

I am presenting the second one below:

Here we go.

CRICKET QUIZ 2

Question 1

Australia has produced some great wicket keeper batsmen throughout its cricket history.

But this particular one I am referring to is a class above the rest.

His test carrier record of dismissal?s (416 in tests, 472 in ODI) and astonishing strike rate of (81.95 in tests and 96.94 in ODIs) not to forget runs ( 5570 with 17 centuries in tests and 9619 runs in ODI with 16 centuries ) stamps his genius both as a wicketkeeper and batsmen .

Who is this Wicket Keeper Batsman phenomenon?

Question 2.

After Sir Don Bradman he is regarded by many as the greatest cricketer of all time.

Batting, Bowling or Fielding he was outstanding in all departments.

His 254 while playing for Rest of World X1 against Australia in Third (unofficial) Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (January 1972) is considered by many as one of the best all time knocks and regarded by Sir Din Bradman as ? the greatest exhibition of batting seen in Australia?.

Who is this 3 in 1 genius?

Question 3

He is considered as one of the finest All Rounder to have graced England team.

His astonishing performances with both bat and ball single handedly won England from hopeless situations on many occasions.

Who is this English All Rounder par excellence?

Question 4

This spin quartet of India dominated the spin bowling in World Cricket in the 60s and 70s and brought India great victories.

They had accounted 800 wickets between them in over 225 matches.

Who are these Spin Magicians?

Question 5

This Bangladesh Cricketer was the Chief Architect of Bangladesh?s upset victory against Australia in a one day match at Cardiff in the 2005 NatWest Series.

It is interesting to note that in many cases when this batting dynamite clicked Bangladesh won.

It is very unfortunate that despite being hugely talented he remains one of the most inconsistent player with an average of only 23.87 (Tests) and 23.00(One Dayer)

Who is this enigmatic Cricketer of Bangladesh?
