Ok....competition time for yo' cricketer lovers.

 

The first 5 questions need to be answered before the first test starts Wednesday (or the delayed start if it rains etc) and no answers will be accepted after this time. There will then be 5 questions that will be based on each test match. So, Q6-10, need to be answered before the commencement of the test also.

 

A further set of 5 questions will be introduced ahead of each test at which point I'll reveal who has scored what points and the overall winner will be reveleaved at the end of the series.

1. Series Score - How will the series end up?

I've never heard of most of the Australian squad. Are the newbies any good? I remember the series ('89?) where the Aussies come over with novice batsmen called Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh, who proceeded to flay the s*** out of England.
