Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which player in the Australian team was playing his 200th match?

Answer: Ricky Ponting

Australian captain Ricky Ponting made his 200th appearance in ODIs in this match. It wasn't a very memorable match for him as he managed to score only 10 runs and was out stumped to Mwayenga.

2. Who won the toss?

Answer: Zimbabwe and decided to field

Tatenda Taibu, once again called right but decided to field this time. The decision backfired badly though, as Australia put on a mammoth score of 323 in their allotted 50 overs.

3. Two Australian batsmen scored hundreds, which helped Australia to pile on 323 runs.

Answer: False

Surprisingly, none of the Australian batsmen scored centuries. The highest score for the Australians was 87 by Matthew Hayden. The highest score by a team without any individual centuries is 352 scored by India against Pakistan. The highest scorer was Rahul Dravid, who was bowled for 99 by Shoaib Akthar.

4. Which Australian batsmen had the highest strike rate?

Answer: Jason Gillespie

Jason Gillespie was Australia's surprise package. He put on 33 runs of just 16 balls with 3 sixes and 1 four. He had a strike rate of over 200. Brad Hogg came next with 26 of 27 balls.

5. Who were the highest wicket takers for Zimbabwe?

Answer: Matsikenyeri and Mupariwa

Matsikenyeri and Mupariwa, both picked up two wickets each. Mluleki Nkala was dropped for this match. Hondo got the prized scalp of Adam Gilchrist who was going great guns at the start.

6. Brendon Taylor top scored for the Zimbabwean team.

Answer: True

Brendon Taylor was in wonderful form and followed his 59 of the last match with a well-compiled 65 runs. He was the only half centurion for the Zimbabweans.

7. Which Australian bowler picked up the most wickets?

Answer: Darren Lehmann

Darren Lehmann with his left arm spinners picked up 4 wickets. Glenn McGrath's return to International Cricket has not been so good and he went wicket less, so did Gillespie who could not carry on his magnificent form with the ball.

8. Which Zimbabwean batsman did not come out to bat in their innings?

Answer: Hondo

DT Hondo suffering from concussion did not bat in the Zimbabwe innings.

9. How many batsmen scored ducks in the entire match?

10. Zimbabwe gave Australia a run for their money by putting on 289 runs.

Answer: False

Zimbabwe stood no chance in this match and were bowled out for 184 runs. Australia won this match by 139 runs.
