General rule of thumb... anyone who claims to know Anderson's 100th wicket, may as well have screenshot the google search they used to find out and sent it with their answers.

Good set of questions, had me thinking at least. I think ive got a shot at 4 or 5, guessed a few mind.

Did you not see the number of replays of the landmark wickets in the last test coverage?

So, who am I going to be battling to avoid the wooden spoon?

I think that I got the last one, and hopefully I will get one or two of the T/F.

Good blend of questions Andy. I googled Anderson's 100th wicket after I submitted and my complete guess got the right country but wrong player :d'oh:

Answers submitted. Reckon I'm a good shout for the wooden spoon - I was only confident of 1. Even Anderson's 500th I wasn't certain of, although I had it between 2 players.

Thanks for running andy.

I got Jimmy the Saint's 500th wicket wrong. I did a search for his 100th after I'd posted my answers but couldn't unearth anything.

Got a lot of guesing done there, but i got the Paine one right as looked up his stats recently when discusing new aussie keeping. Also Ashes DN was ok for me.

As for Anderson 100th wicket just put in the name of a famous cricketer :laugh

i reckon 4 = 7 for me taking into account good guessing
