Teaser Number Seven:
South Africa have progressed further than Kenya in the Cricket World Cup?
 
TRUE or FALSE
 
P.S. This refers to World Cups before the 2007 World Cup, so this is up to the 2003 World Cup.

Unable to answer because question is ambiguous.

Edited by W.G. - 23 April 2007 at 12:55pm
When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat.

 Please can you edit the post and take out the reason why because it's in the rules of the game that you can't give a reason so it doesn't give an unfair advantage to other players.

Again everyone who answered properly got the question right, the correct answer was false, as both South Africa and Kenya have reached the World Cup semi-finals, South Africa doing so in 1992, 1999 and 2007 and Kenya doing so in 2003.

Here is the leaderboard:
MP12 - 9 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
JP - 6 pts
Scuddz - 6 pts
New Bowler - 6 pts
Fishcake14 - 2 pts
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Ramzi - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
W.G - 0 pts
 
Note - Seeing as 70DS has now been banned there is no point in him being in the competition so he has been removed from the leaderboard.
 
So MP12 moves into a fairly comfortable 3 point lead with 4 others on 6 points behind him. It will be interesting to see whether anyone can catch him.
 
Next teaser to follow shortly....

You have until Friday to post the answer to this question.
Good luck....

Bit of optimism here that another of the big 8 are as useless as we are.
 
I'll say false.

As MP12 has just proved tactics are just as important as winning in this game, and the answer is true. The West Indies (1975, 1979), India (1983), Australia (1987, 1999, 2003), Pakistan (1992) and Sri Lanka (1996) have all won the World Cup whilst South Africa (1998) and New Zealand (2000) have both won the Champions Trophy. England have been runners-up 3 times in the World Cup and once in the Champions Trophy but so far they haven't won any of them.
 
So here is the leaderboard:
MP12 - 10 pts
Scuudz - 8 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
JP - 6 pts
New Bowler - 6 pts
Ramzi - 2 pts
Fishcake14 - 2 pts
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
W.G - 0 pts

Teaser Number Nine:
At the time of the 1983 World Cup there were only 7 test-playing nations, and none of them were from Africa.
 
TRUE, FALSE (there were 7 and one of them was African) or FALSE (there were more than 7 and none of them was from Africa).
 
Seeing as I'm away on Sunday I'm giving you the whole weekend for this, so you have until Monday to post the answer to this teaser.
 
Good luck....

The answer was true, in 1983 Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the West Indies all had test status whilst South Africa was at that time indefinitely suspended from international cricket and was not a test-playing nation due to their disgusting policy on Apartheid.
 
Here is the effect that this has on the leaderboard:
MP12 - 11 pts
Scuudz - 10 pts
JP - 7 pts
New Bowler - 7 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
Ramzi - 3 pts
Fishcake14 - 2 pts
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
W.G - 0 pts
Ali Malik - 0 pts

Teaser Number Ten:
Which team were top of the ICC test match rankings when they were first introduced?
An Ashes Side, A Sub-Continental Side, A Caribbean Side, An African Side or New Zealand?
 
So a huge variety of options to choose from there, and you have until Wednesday to post the answer to this teaser.
 
Good luck.....
