Friday Quiz

3) Six and out from one legal delivery, is it possible for a batter to get out but score six runs at the same time?

4) Who was the first player to achieve the not-so-enviable feat of ten scores in the nineties in Test cricket?

5) What caused the cricket lawmakers to decide that two fielders maximum would be allowed behind square leg on the on side?

As with most examination questions where applicable a simple 'yes' or 'no' will not suffice!

But I stuck to the office rules and didn't use the internet to research the answers.

I think I meant Slater rather than Bevan actually....

And filling the legside must after a bit more thought be something to do with the Bodyline series.

Getting closer?
