A lot of people were stumped by this question, and in the end only two people got the answer right, the answer was in fact false, Hasan Raza represented Pakistan at the age of 14yrs and 233 days in October 1996, which was almost a year ahead of Mohammad Sharif of Bangladesh, who first played an ODI at the age of 15yrs and 116 days.
 
 
Only MP12 and abubakar52 got the question right, so well done, I would normally give only MP12 two points but seeing as only two of you got it right then I'm awarding you both two points.
 
And the leaderboard is as follows:
MP12 - 4 pts
JP - 3 pts
70_degree_spin - 2 pts
Sledger - 2 pts
Scuudz - 2 pts
Abubakar52 - 2 pts
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
New Bowler - 1 pt
 
Next teaser to follow shortly.

Asia.  When was the last time a South American country played cricket? Australia vs Paraguay doesn't sound too memorable....

This was a fairly even round, but the correct answer was Asia, Oceania and Asia are incredibly closely matched continents and to find the most successful I had to go to my second reserve judgement.

Oceania and Asia both have 3 World Cup victories between them, so I then went to do it on final appearances, but they both have 5 World Cup final appearances between them, so in the end I ended up doing it on semi-final appearances, in which Asia have 11 to Oceania's 10, this is correct up to the point of the final of the 2003 World Cup.
 
So the leaderboard currently stands at:
MP12 - 5 pts
Sledger - 4 pts
JP - 3 pts
Scuudz - 3 pts
70_degree_spin - 2 pts
New Bowler - 2 pts
Abubakar52 - 2 pts
Fishcake14 - 1 pt
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
 
Next teaser to follow in a minute....

This one was an answer which everybody got right, the answer was of course false, but that incident I was referring actually happened to Jimmy Adams, he cut open his hand on a flight whilst trying to cut a piece of bread and had to miss a whole tour to South Africa. But it happened to Adams and not to Lara.
 
The leaderboard is now as follows:
MP12 - 6 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
JP - 4 pts
Scuudz - 4 pts
New Bowler - 3 pts
70_degree_spin - 2 pts
Abubakar52 - 2 pts
Fishcake14 - 1 pt
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt

True.

I think MP12 has some sort of tracking device set on this thread - how else would he be able to reply so quick despite being on the other side of the world?!

True, although I had a friend who went to Zimbabwe and decided he would bat 3, ahead of Master Blaster (his real name was something much longer). He didn't get to bat as Master Blaster trudged off after 20 overs with an unbeaten 280* and with the score at 320-0. LOL

. It was just luck that I happened to be on at the same time as the question was posted. Although I wonder if it is possible to have a tracking device on a internet site. .

A poor response this round, but everyone still got the answer right. The answer was true, Somerset's 250-3 against Gloucestershire last season is the world record score in Twenty20's.
 
So the leaderboard is now:
MP12 - 8 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
JP - 5 pts
Scuudz - 5 pts
New Bowler - 4 pts
70_degree_spin - 2 pts
Fishcake14 - 2 pts
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
