ALL OUT CRICKET
1. Between 1993 Test debutants Richard Blakey and Peter Such, a fast bowler who went on to earn 62 caps played his first game for England. Who was it?
Answer: Andrew Caddick
2. Essex allrounder Ronnie Irani made his Test appearances between 1996 and 1999. How many did he play in total?
Answer: Three
3. Mark Butcher played in 71 Test matches for England, but how many ODIs?
Answer: None
4. Martin Bicknell, whose international career spanned over a decade for the return of just four Tests, made his debut in 1993. He, Martin McCague, Andy Caddick and which Essex left-armer made up England’s seam attack in the match?
Answer: Mark Ilott
5. Who had the longest (in terms of time) Test career, Phil Tufnell or Darren Gough?
Answer: Phil Tufnell
6. Which bowler was responsible for the embarrassment of a debuting Chris Read at Lord’s in 1999?
Answer: Chris Cairns (It seems this was in fact Read's second match and not his debut but I think it's the right answer)
7. What else was historic for England about the match in which both Nasser Hussain and Alec Stewart made their Test debuts?
Answer: Not too sure what they may want here.
It was England's first victory against the West Indies in 16 years and 30 tests. Which is what I think I'll go for.
It was also England's first victory in Kingston for 36 years.
8. Who was batting alongside Alex Tudor as he finished stranded on 99 not out after batting England to victory against New Zealand at Edgbaston in 1999?
Answer: Graham Thorpe
9. How many members of England’s 2005 Ashes-winning squad made their Test debuts in the Nineties?
Answer: Three (As far as I can make out)
10. Who was the mistaken umpire when Mike Atherton “arm-guarded” a ball behind to Mark Boucher off Allan Donald at Trent Bridge in 1998?
Answer: Steve Dunne
These are my suggested answers but what do I know? Any disagreements/other answers welcomed, please post below.
