Name the only English football ground to host a test match?

[MohammedC]

Name the only English football ground to host a test match?

Hint:Football club which plays in that ground got relegated from premiership football this year

[Imtiazk]

Neaz Ahmed, he played in the famous test in which D'Oliveira score 144. A famous match for many reasons :lol:

Against England in Dhaka.

Excellent thread. But just for accuracy, D'Oliveira scored 114 n.o. I know as I saw every ball of it. I still regard it being one of the best knocks I have seen in test cricket. Even though I have probably seen hundreds of tests since, live and on TV.

The reason I say this is because Parvez Sajjad was turning the ball square in Dhaka's loose turf and was effectively unplayable. However D'Oliveira hung on and in the next morning with solid help from Snow and Underwood took England to 274 from 139/7 at one stage. His paddle sweeps were excellent

This was, of course, before the change in lbw rule, since when a batsman can be given out not offering a stroke even if the impact was outside the off stump as long as, in the opinion of the Umpire, the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps. Snow effectively padded out Saeed Ahmed who was also turning the ball prodigously. Those were Dhaka tests with Salimabad and Provincial paratha lunch boxes. Not quite the same two weeks back in Mirpur.

Great thread !

[Imtiazk]

Hint:Football club which plays in that ground got relegated from premiership football this year

Bramall Lane ? But is it the same ground or like Headingley where Cricket and Rugby League share a stand but there are two adjacent grounds.

[Zunaid]

Bramall Lane ? But is it the same ground or like Headingley where Cricket and Rugby League share a stand but there are two adjacent grounds.

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/ground/57296.html

Sheffield was the early home of Yorkshire cricket and Bramall Lane was at its centre. Its spectators were renowned as some of the most knowledgeable, partisan and vocal in the country, although opponents who proved themselves were warmly appreciated. But the venue was never an ideal cricket venue as it was primarily a football ground - its remains the home of Sheffield United and staged internationals as well as the 1912 FA Cup final replay. There was a certain irony that the site was chosen because of its clean air and good light; by the early 1900s it was renowned for soot-filled air and permanently gloomy aura, with local factories pumping out smoke to add to the choking smog. It was a surprise when Sheffield was chosen to stage a Test against Australia in 1902, less so when bad light was blamed for England's 143-run defeat. Poor attendances meant that the experiment was not repeated, although it did host one of the Victory Tests in 1945. Yorkshire upped sticks and changed their base to Leeds in 1903 and, while Bramall Lane remained a regular venue, economic pressures led to Yorkshire playing their final game there in 1973. That winter the football club filled in the open side of the ground with a new stand and its cricketing heritage was consigned to the history books.

Bramall Lane ? But is it the same ground or like Headingley where Cricket and Rugby League share a stand but there are two adjacent grounds.

Correct.It is the same ground.

[Imtiazk]

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/ground/57296.html

Excellent extract ! I was aware of Bramall Lane's cricket ing history but not in such detail. I think Trueman played his first match there though I am not 100% sure. He comes from Maltby , near Sheffield.

Cricket is more than just a game. I doubt any other game can beat it for tradition and nostalgia.

[Imtiazk]

How many innings' have been played by Bangladeshi batsmen which lasted over 360 minutes ? By whom ?

[MohammedC]

Nafees Iqbal 470 minute is the longest by bangladeshi player, who could be second. Sorry I was wrong Bubul's first innigs in the first evr test is still longest

[Xavier]

Shariar Nafees against Australia?

[MohammedC]

Shariar Nafees against Australia?

Rajin Saleh's fity took longer (http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/AUS_IN_BDESH/SCORECARDS/AUS_BDESH_T1_09-13APR2006.html)

[Xavier]

67 off 203 balls... quite slow! That was probably the most amazing test for Bangladesh!

Thanks for your answer... I tried!

[Imtiazk]

...
Thanks for your answer... I tried!

Aminul Islam 535 mins 145
Javed Omar 493 119

Next is Khaled Mashud 334 mins 103 n.o.

No one else has batted for over 300 mins in a test innings.

This probably reveals some of our problem.

It was indeed butch...

[Tintin]

X was having a hard time in the tour of Pakistan in 1988-89. In the four innings of the first two Tests, he never reached 20 and was likely to be dropped for the third Test. Y was expected to make his debut in the third Test replacing X.

Just before the third Test, Y made the mistake of adding a few ice cubes, which turned out to be contaminated, to his beer. The next day he was in constant pain, unable to move except to vomit. In a few days, he became skinny and started "to resemble Ivan Lendl". He continued to suffer for the next twelve months and could hardly eat at all.

Y's chances of appearing in the third Test went up in flames. X was picked again and he scored a fifty. From there, their careers went in different directions. X became one of the most successful cricketers of his country. Y never played in a Test, and wasn't even selected for another tour.

Who are X and Y (no googling and looking up the score please) ?

[Tintin]

Early hint - Australians

[DJ Sahastra]

Hmmm... :doh:

*Deleted*

Added Later: I am more curious about the "other player" and can't stop googling now :).

Added Later: I have googled and found the first part of the answer but will refrain from posting it in the spirit of the thread. Yet to find the guy "Y"

[Tintin]

S Waugh is X

DJ, As said in the question, Y never played a Test match, but made his debut in the only ODI that Australia played during that tour (and that turned out to be the only ODI of his career). That should help if you want to look up the answer :)

[DJ Sahastra]

LOL Tintin, you should've waited 1 second :). I edited my post at 11:31 pm

DJ, As said in the question, Y never played a Test match, but made his debut in the only ODI that Australia played during that tour (and that turned out to be the only ODI of his career). That should help if you want to look up the answer :)
I guess Y is our coach, Jamie Siddons.

[Tintin]

Right, Eshen.

X (as DJ posted and then deleted :mad:) is Steve Waugh and Y is Jamie Siddons.

[Eshen]

I had no idea that Siddons had such a traumatic experience in his only international tour (as a player). Thanks for the story Tintin.

Nasser Hussain took over the England captaincy from Alec Stewart following the World Cup in 1999. His first series in charge was a home series against New Zealand.

A cryptic one :

The Pakistani cricketer A set a record in Pakistan's first Test in 1952.
The Indian cricketer B bettered it in the England series in 2002
The Bangladeshi cricketer C did not improve upon it when he made his debut in the England series in 2005. He eventually entered the list in Sri Lanka in 2007, in his third Test match, in the fourth place behind A, B and the Zimbabwean cricketer D.

Why did C fail to set the record in 2005 ?

Youngest test keepers ?

Mushfiq was not the designated keeper in the test team until his third test match. However, he kept wicket in his second test match (in the 2nd innings, if I remember correctly).

[Tintin]

Very well done.

A is Hanif Mohammad, B is Parthiv Patel and D is Tatenda Taibu.

I hadn't known about his second Test. If that is included, he will be the second youngest ahead of Hanif and behind Patel.

Shahadat was denied the MoM at Mirpur only because he finished on the losing side. Naturally, MoM awards for innings defeat are extremely rare. The first to do so was Graeme Hick who scored 178 & 47 and took 2 wickets as England lost by innings and 15 to India at Bombay 1992-93.

As far as I know, there are only two others who got MoM award despite their side losing by an innings and both are Bangladeshis. Who and which matches ?

Ashraful with Murali on his test debut in Colombo, and maybe JOB Golla on his test debut in Zimbabwe when he carried his bat?

Question: Which former/current Bangladeshi test cricket has the longest name?

[Tintin]

Damn. Ashraful shared the award with Murali on debut but I saw only Murali's name. Omar is one. So there is one more instance.

Sorry.

[Sohel]

Ashraful again for his 158* against India in Chittagong in 2004. One of the finest innings I've ever seen.

My question from post 649 still stands BTW ... :waiting:

[Tintin]

Yeah. You give the question setter an inferiority complex by answering so fast :)

649 : Are you looking for the single part of the name (like "Ashraful") ? Can't think of anything long anyway.

The 434 in JoBurg, SA against Australia, 2006. I watched the match while having lunch at Fakhruddin's Biriyani in G1. Unforgettable innings from Gibbs, 175 from 111 balls, 21 fours and 7 sixes!

Spot on...What a match that was.........there were some audience who were crying........and ntini scored the penultimate run to gibe the strike to boucher if i m not wrong.....n that was his best batting ever

Yep. Ponting's 165 from 105 was actually overshadowed. Who would've thought?

Here's (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/238200.html) the CI link to that scorecard BTW.

Ashraful also won a MoM award against SA but BD lost the game.

Yes, in that match he scored a hundred. I guess Rajib could have won the MOM award jointly if he would have a 10 wkt haul in Mirpur. :umm:

"Most skilled batsman" is not a decription of fact it's a value judgement. "most successful" would have been a better description as this can be verified by stats.

In any case, technically your answer is wrong, Siddons is a retired batsman and his role in the BD camp is coach not "batsman"....:D

Fataullah Test in 2006. Reg Dickason, the Australian security manager, while scanning the closed circuit TVs, saw a man in the crowd wearing a black bandana. He had a genuine rifle in his hand and seemed to be aiming it at the Australian players on the ground. Dickason rushed towards the man, intending to stop him before he could do any damage.

What happened next ?

[Miraz]

Was he a Rab member?

:)

[Tintin]

Yes :)

Can you guess what he was doing ?

Providing security to the Australians. :)

Did he arrest the Aussie security manager?

[Tintin]

No :)

I am looking for the explanation for this :

He had a genuine rifle in his hand and seemed to be aiming it at the Australian players on the ground.

[Miraz]

Well, he should have a genuine rifle to provide security. :)

Please don't tell me that he was aiming a bird sitting next to the Aussie player!! :D

Aiming at the Aussie players!! hmm... too difficult to answer boss!!

I am starting a new thread. It's a fun thread. The rule is very simple.

1. Anyone can become a CricketGuru and ask a question which felow members will try to answer.
2. Once the question is correctly answered the CricketGuru will acknowledge that and any member can post a new question and take the role of CricketGuru.
3. Please do not post a new question before the current question is answered.
4. Question should be cricket related.
5. Member who will take the role as the cricket guru should acknowledge the correct answer when it is posted.

So, as the strater of the thread I take the opportunity to become the first CricketGuru.

My question is

1. Who holds the record for highest first class score for Bangladesh?

Quoting the first post.

"Do u know which Hattrick in Test cricket involved 3 wickets in 3 separate overs. can u name the bowler and how the hatrick actually involved 3 different overs "

[Eshen]

ok.. here's one..

AJ Strauss, A Flintoff
Rajin Saleh, Habibul Bashar
G Kirsten, HH Gibbs

what do these 3 pairs of players have in common??
PS: they are in no specific order..
Those pairs have multiple 100+ partnerships, in both Test and ODI.

[Eshen]

here is a question from me :

"Do u know which Hattrick in Test cricket involved 3 wickets in 3 separate overs. can u name the bowler and how the hatrick actually involved 3 different overs "
:) Too easy, only had to google the question.
The Hughes hat-trick remains the most convoluted in Test cricket because it involved three separate overs in two innings. Bowling for Australia against West Indies in the Second Test at Perth in December 1988, he ended the first innings (on 3 December) by dismissing Curtly Ambrose with the last ball of his 36th over and Patrick Patterson with the first of his 37th. He then trapped Gordon Greenidge lbw with the first ball of their second innings (on 4 December). It was the 19th hat-trick in Tests, the first by an Australian for 31 years and only second to be taken over two innings following the one by Courtney Walsh in the previous Test.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tms/2007/09/ask_bearders_154.shtml

[crikfreak]

Those pairs have multiple 100+ partnerships, in both Test and ODI.

your answer is closer than offstump's.... the answer is.. these pairs of batsman hold the record for the highest odi partnership for any wicket for their respective countries.. so.. now you have a go!!

btw.. if u've got the correct answer for offstump's question then shouldn't you get 2 chances??
