Cricket quiz: Name England's Test players this century

Post by tiger76 » Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:03 pm

A quiz for the cricket followers, apparently there's been 122 players to represent England this century, some will probably be harder to remember than others.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/53352074

You do get 30 minutes, so you do have some thinking time if you're struggling for inspiration.

Forget I'd posted this quiz, I'll give it a bash tomorrow maybe, but if you found it tough there must be some obscure names on the list CT. :)

There are players on there I would never had thought played as late as 2000 and some of the ones who played one or two tests I'd no chance with. I got 84 and I thought I'd done well.

Some really average players from the start of the century on that list

Without giving anything away, I missed a former Lancashire & England captain and opening batsman who is now a Sky commentator. I'd no idea he'd played as late as 2001.

92

I had to start reading the hints after 60 though but that takes too much time, so I ran out. I'm not the quickest typer.
