:clap: Good quiz.

37/41 for me. Definitely a lot harder when you have to guess in order.

The other one I liked was the countries by capitals (warning takes 18 minutes!).

I got something like 143 before I gave up.

England have played 25 twenty:20 internationals.

No, I can't. 32/48 plus the two bonus ones. Excellent quiz though, good work YB :clap:

I was convinced Ashley Giles must have played so after seeing the Vaughan entry I was trying all sorts of combinations like King of Spain, King of Spin, Gilo, Wheelie Bin etc. I was wrong!

England Test cricket captains since the 1960s

At the time of posting this, our second most recent captain was spelt incorrectly, but you'll be able to figure it out easily enough. I got all bar four or five.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Got them all in 4mins 37 seconds, had to stop and think about the one test wonder captain in 1999, got the spelling mistake after the 5th attempt.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I missed 3, but that included two Essex captains.

I can use the excuse they were before my time, but even so I'm pretty embarrassed.

British European Finalists.

I created this one, inspired by Fulham's feats last night.

Clue - there are no Welsh teams ;)

Any feedback welcome. Force answers in order? More time? Keen to hear your thoughts.

Great quiz, I think the timing's about right and I wouldn't force the answers in order, especially with the first answer in this one! 56/57 for me, guess which one I didn't get.
