Who holds the record for the most Test match ducks in a career? Find out the answers to these and many more cricket testers in The Times Cricket Quiz Book.
Whether it’s the leisurely pace of the county game, the crash, bang, wallop of Twenty20 or the subtle fluctuations of a Test match that appeal, we’ve got questions for you. Test yourself on the great batsmen, bowlers and fielders, captains and record breakers, the politics and literature, not forgetting the all important Laws of the game. We also look at some of the more obscure aspects of cricket from great beards and moustaches to the remarkable number of Grahams in the game. It’s not just England either. We’ve covered the whole of the cricketing world from Australia to Pakistan, Sri Lanka to the West Indies and just about everywhere in between. With seven unique categories featuring one hundred themed quizzes there’s something for everyone from the novice cricket watcher to the seasoned observer.
So, whether it’s fearsome fast bowlers, looping leg spinners or brutal big hitters you want to know about then jump on in. As the men in the white coat say.
