Cricket Quiz - 7 (End of 1st season)

In the past 5 months I hosted a series called Poshin's World cricket quiz, in which I asked 5 questions relating to cricket. It was a quiz contest. I have finally decided to end the first season's quiz. So this is the last article in the series, for this season.




The answers to the previous quiz, Quiz - 6 are,

1.) Who are the only father and son combination to have ever played in a World Cup. [HINT - The father played for East Africa and the son for England]
Donald James "Don" Pringle - East Africa and Derek Raymond Pringle – England.


2.) Who invented the 'Leg Glance'?
K.S. Ranjitsinghi


3.) Which country has the unenviable record of being dismissed twice in the same day during a test match.
Two sides have been dismissed twice in a day,
India (58 & 82) v England
Zimbabwe (59 & 99) v New Zealand



4.) Which famous umpire said, "I married cricket"?
Harold Dennis 'Dickie' Bird


5.) Name this cricketer [in the picture].
Clive Lloyd

The Winner(s) of the previous Quiz are, Deepak Balamurali.
- Congrats


The winners of the Poshin's World Cricket quiz are,
1st place goes to the undisputed leader Deepak Balamurali

It was a lovely experience doing this quiz series and I want to thank all the participants.  Without your participation this never would have been possible.  And another round of applause to Deepak, Kirby and Chirag.

I now host the quiz at Royal Challenger's Bangalore's website titled RCB Friday Trivia.
