Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In Australia's match against the Netherlands, who won the toss and what did they elect to do?

Answer: Australia elected to bat

In the lead up to the tournament, Ricky Ponting stated on several occasions that he intended for Australia to bowl first whenever they had the chance so it was a suprise when he chose to bat first.

2. Adam Gilchrist hit a brutal 57 off 64 balls in 80 minutes to start Australia's innings against the Netherlands. How many fours did Gilchrist hit in his innings?

Answer: 11

44 of Gilly's 57 runs came from boundaries. Suprisingly enough, he did not hit any sixes. Usually when he is in this sort of form he hits plenty of sixes also.

3. How many sixes did the Australian's hit against the Netherlands?

Answer: 13

Brad Hodge hit 7, Michael Clarke hit 3 and Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting and Shane Watson each hit one.

4. How many runs did Brad Hodge make in Australia's match against the Netherlands?

Answer: 123

Brad Hodge made his maiden ODI century in style. Prior to this innings Hodge had made a 99 not out and a 97 not out. He made his 123 runs off 89 balls in 108 minutes at a strike rate of 138.20. His innings included 8 fours and 7 sixes.

5. Who put on a record fourth wicket partnership of 204 runs in Australia's match against Netherlands?

Answer: Michael Clarke and Brad Hodge

Clarke and Hodge came together in the 21st over and batted with each other until Hodge went out for 123 in the 47th over. It was the second partnership record for Australia in three World Cup games, with Ricky Ponting and Damien Martyn scoring the highest second wicket partnership in the 2003 World Cup final.

6. Who had the best figures for the Netherlands in their match against Australia?

Answer: TBM de Leede

TBM de Leede finished with figures of 10 overs, 1 maiden, 2 for 40 at a run rate of 4 runs per over. Pretty impressive figures for a minnow nation against the reigning World Champions.

7. In the Netherlands innings against Australia, who was the highest run scorer for Netherlands?

Answer: DLS van Bunge

DLS van Bunge made 33 runs off 33 balls in 49 minutes at a strike rate of 100.00. During his innings he hit 4 fours and 1 six.

8. How many of the Neherlands batsmen were given out LBW in their match against Australia?

Answer: Five

AN Kervezee, RN ten Doeschate, LP van Troost, DLS van Bunge and J Smits were all given out LBW. It indicates that the Australians were bowling at the stumps and that the Dutch batsmen could not fully handle the pace the Australians were bowling at.

Brad Hogg finished with figures of 4/27 off 4.5 overs at a run rate of 5.58.
