Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This Test was the first-ever played at which ground?

Answer: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad

This stadium was enough to support 50,000 people. The stadium is also the home ground to the Indian Premier League Team, Deccan Chargers. It is located a little far away from the city in the vicinity of Uppal.

2. India won the toss for this match.

Answer: False

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. There was some action-packed cricket to come in the 3 Test series at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.

3. In the first innings with New Zealand to bat, who was the only centurion in their innings?

Answer: Tim McIntosh

He scored 102 off 250 balls. Unfortunately when New Zealand were cruising well at 253-3, he was bowled by Zaheer Khan, and this was followed by a quick fall of wickets. New Zealand ultimately ended their well cruised innings from 253-4, at 350 all out.

4. On the Indian side, two bowlers took four wickets each. One was Harbhajan Singh. Who was the other?

Answer: Zaheer Khan

Zaheer took 4-69 whereas Harbhajan took 4-76 but as Harbhajan bowled more overs, he hence had a better economy rate of 2.14 compared to 2.55 of Zaheer's. New Zealand finished their innings after being all out for 350 runs.

5. In India's first innings, a batsman was the only person to score a 100. Who was it?

Answer: Harbhajan Singh

Luckily, he had scored a nelson and remained not out when India finished its innings on 472 runs. Nelson is a term used when a player scores 111 runs and may/may not get out. Nelson was used with the background that if one removes the bails on the stumps, you could see the number 111.

He had the Strike rate of 95.68. He made this feat off 116 balls, which was also his maiden test century.

6. Tim Southee was the only bowler in this innings to take 5 wickets.

Answer: false

It was Daniel Vettori who took 5-135 in 50 overs, and his bowling rate was 2.71. Tim Southee had picked up 3-119. Vettori, the New Zealand Captain, was the only bowler in this innings to bowl more than 40 overs.

7. In New Zealand's 2nd innings, who was the opening batsman who just missed out on making 50 runs?

Answer: Tim McIntosh

Tim McIntosh made 49, and was dismissed to Pragyan Ojha. McCullum played an excellent innings of 225, the only double century in the match. He was there until the near end of the innings, until NZ declared at 448-8.

8. How many runs did India make in their last, 2nd innings?

Answer: 68-0

Virender Sehwag scored a 54 off the same number of balls. India had drew the match, and hence, in the 3 test match series, out of the 2 tests, nobody won. The match drew, with India needing 158 runs to win.

9. Who was the Man of the Match?

Answer: Brendon McCullum

Tendulkar and Sehwag were out of the question. Though Harbhajan also deserved the Man of Match Award for his century and 5-wicket haul, McCullum, for his innings saving 225 was awarded the Man of the Match.

10. Where was the 3rd and the final Test of the series held?

Answer: Nagpur

Nagpur is a city famous for its oranges. The Test was played at Vidarbha Cricket Stadium from 20-24 November 2010.
