By this I am actually referring to the time from when the ICC Test Championship was introduced in May 2001, at that time the top team in the test arena was Australia, so the correct answer was an Ashes side, my attempts to stump you failed again, but rest assured I'll think of a way to catch you out next time.
 
Here is the leaderboard:
MP12 - 12 pts
Scuudz - 10 pts
JP - 8 pts
New Bowler - 7 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
Ramzi - 5 pts
Fishcake14 - 2 pts
Tonks007 - 1 pt
Ali Malik - 1 pt
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
W.G. - 0 pts
 
Next teaser to follow shortly.....

The answer was false, there have only been three test series involving more than 2 nations, there was a tri-series in the summer of 1912 between England, Australia and South Africa, and there was the Asian Test Championship held twice in 1999 and 2002 and ws contested between Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India in 1999 and Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh in 2002.
 
Almost everyone got the answer right, so here is the leaderboard:
MP12 - 13 pts
Scuudz - 12 pts
JP - 9 pts
New Bowler - 7 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
Ramzi - 6 pts
Fishcake14 - 3 pts
Ali Malik - 2 pts
Tonks007 - 1 pt
Nottsjoe - 1 pt
Lean Guy - 1 pt
Dhoniisbest - 1 pt
Pietersen Fan - 1 pt
Collingwood123 - 1 pt
W.G - 0 pts

This question stumped a few people, but three of them still got the answer right. There were 89 official players from non-test playing nations in the World Cup, and 31 of them represented a country different to that of their birth. This means that 34.83% of players represented a country different to that of their birth, and the answer was between 30% and 40%.
 
Here is the leaderboard:
Scuudz - 13 pts
MP12 - 13 pts
JP - 9 pts
Ramzi - 8 pts
New Bowler - 7 pts
Sledger - 6 pts
Fishcake14 - 3 pts
Ali Malik - 2 pts
Nottsjoe - 2 pts
