Q4 Should read

How many fours and sixes has Sir Don Bradman scored in his test career?

and not

How many fours and sixes has Sir Don Bradman scored in his career?

Now try.

Buddy I do not like anything on T20 or 20 over based cricket because it does not reflect the class or caliber of a cricketer in any way though commercially and moneywise it is very popular and successful. So I have to disappoint you.

However after this quiz is over starting Friday I will revert to our regular format International Quiz .

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your inputs and Cheers!
