Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Two Indian players made their Test debuts in this match. Who were they?

Answer: Munaf Patel and Piyush Chawla

Munaf and Piyush became the 254th and 255th players respectively, to represent India in Test cricket since 1932.

2. Piyush Chawla became the second youngest Indian to appear in a Test. Who was the younger than him?

Answer: Sachin Tendulkar

Piyush Chawla was 17 years and 75 days on the first day of the Test. Only Sachin Tendulkar (aged 16 years 205 days) had played a Test at a younger age for India. In all Test cricket, Chawla was the 16th youngest player to make his debut at the time.

3. Anil Kumble reached the landmark of 500 Test wickets during this match to become the fifth player into this exclusive club. Who was the first?

Answer: Courtney Walsh

Kumble was the first Indian and only the fifth bowler in Test history to reach the 500-wicket mark. Steve Harmison was his 500th victim. Kumble joined the exclusive club of Walsh, Warne, Muralitharan, and McGrath.

4. Andrew Flintoff's two sixes in the first innings took his Test career tally of sixes to 68, which was the highest for an England batsman. Whose record did he break?

Answer: Ian Botham

Ian Botham hit 67 sixes in 102 Tests while Flintoff was playing only his 58th Test. A record once set for most sixes in a Test career was held by Chris Cairns and Adam Gilchrist (87 each).

5. Flintoff achieved another rare distinction when he batted on all 5 days of the Test! How many people had done this feat before him?

Answer: Five

Others to bat on all five days of a Test match were: India's M L Jaisimha against Australia at Calcutta in 1959-60, England's Geoff Boycott against Australia at Nottingham in 1977, Australia's Kim Hughes against England at Lord's in 1980, England's Allan Lamb against West Indies at Lord's in 1984, and India's Ravi Shastri against England at Calcutta in 1984-85.

Flintoff ended day one with an unbeaten 4 and was still unbeaten on 26 at the end of the rain-curtailed second day. On the third day he was dismissed on 70. India batted thereafter and were dismissed on the fourth day after lunch. A batting collapse forced Flintoff's entry to the crease towards the closing stages of the fourth day and he remained unbeaten on 16 at the close of play. On the fifth and final day Flintoff took his score to 51 and his was the final England wicket to fall.

6. Munaf Patel had a very impressive debut and he had a big hand in the Indian victory. How many wickets did he take in the entire Test?

Answer: 7

Munaf Patel's match figures of 7 for 97 were the best figures by an Indian fast bowler on debut. The previous record was held by Syed Abid Ali, who took 7 for 116 against Australia at Adelaide in 1967-68. Among all bowlers (including spinners), Munaf's figures were the fourth best by an Indian debutant.

Answer: Steve Waugh

Steve Waugh got out 10 times in the 90s. Slater also had 9 scores in the 90s while Inzamam had 7. Among Indians, Sachin Tendulkar with six scores in the 90s was second.

8. Anil Kumble took his tally of wickets in home wins to 201 with this Test. Who set a world record of having taken the most wickets in home wins for his country?

Answer: Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath had 228 wickets in 48 Test wins at home, while Shane Warne had 227 in 44, and Muttiah Muralitharan had 211 in 24.

9. Anil Kumble won his 8th Man of the Match award in Tests. Which of the following set a record for most Man of the Match awards among Indian Test players?

Answer: Sachin Tendulkar

Kumble equalled Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid's tally of 8 Man of the Match awards with this. Sachin Tendulkar had won 10 Man of the Match awards for India.

10. The Mohali Test win was only India's 13th Test victory against England in 93 Tests.

Answer: False

India had won 17 Tests in all against England. This was the 13th win for India against England at home. India also beat England the last time they played at Mohali in 2000-01.
