	Good quiz although I feel robbed having missed some of the answers such as the 4 least gotten answers.

	I spent so much time guessing individual components of 1973. Clearly, my knowledge of the cricket world is limited.

	@Adi_Bear: that must have been fun for you.. I think they already have a quiz where you just have to name countries though...

	xball:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 06:22 GMT	13 points
	@spartie: they may be "bad" but the only way they will ever become "good" is if they are given opportunities to compete at international level. Cricket needs to expand globally and bring new nations in, particularly at Test level. It is a bit boring having to watch the same couple of teams play each other every year. Besides, nothing wrong with a bit of marketing if it increases money for the game, which could be used for grassroots development

	Pssssshhh...and people say the US doesnt care about cricket. Not one match, my friends. But TWICE!

	OscilatingGibbon:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 08:09 GMT	0 points
	There's a really interesting mix of countries interested in cricket here. I was surprised to see Afghanistan

	dav_uz:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 08:24 GMT	4 points
	Suprising to see United States was guessed by more people than 3 of the test playing nations (and one former one)! But then they did compete in the first ever international cricket match vs Canada in 1844 (it wasn't a test match - that was England - Australia, of course)

	davidr:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 08:25 GMT	4 points
	@spartie: Remember that Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997 so it's not surprising that some cricket is played there. They played two matches in the Asia Cup in each of 2004 and 2008 and, having invited Hong Kong to play in the tournament, it would be unreasonable not to class their matches as ODIS — all were against Test-playing countries. Similarly for the USA's two matches in the 2004 Champions Trophy. As xball says, how will these minor teams ever improve if they're not given the occasional match against strong opposition?

	@OscilatingGibbon: Afghanistan played their first international matches this summer and have won two out of the three they've played, against the 1999 team and one of the 1996s. They seem to be developing well.

	davidr:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 09:07 GMT	1 point
	@dav_uz: I think the USA is a reasonable guess on pretty much any quiz of national sport teams. It has such a big population that there are bound to be hundreds of people interested in any sport you can think of.

	richardiow:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 10:12 GMT	10 points
	Anyone with a passing interest in Cricket or life stories should research Afghanistan's cricket story. It is quite incredible and very serious. A good example of sport and the good it can do. Loved this quiz too by the way.

	Quite disappointed i missed Bermuda. I remember watching there bowler who was one of the fattest men i've ever seen. His spin bowling was majestic though. Unfortunately i didn't see him bat, i'm sure him running between the wickets would of killed me.

	Cricket is the greatest sport on earth. Anyone that doesn't like it has no soul.

	I'm not sure whether ^ is joking or not :/ And in all seriousness I think the biggest surprise here was SPOILERUSASPOILER, even more than say the most recent team.

	I find cricket oddly intriguing. For my fellow Americans, picture what baseball would be like if a batter could elect to remain at home plate on a ground ball and not be out, and you're a long way towards understanding the dynamics of cricket.

	13/25. Sad I missed Kenya. CRICKET IS BOMB -- from U.S.A! =D. (Raised in Australia =p)

	nearly forgot all the non-country teams, but managed in the end!

	@JeffB: `US' is never accepted for the United States on Sporcle. USA is always accepted, including here.

	Ran the board - although I forget South Africa for a while, was misled by them starting post-Aparthied.

	BuggritHall:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:16 GMT	3 points
	A healthy mix of nations there.Once you get past the obvious cricketing nations and then the secondary ones (Netherlands,Scotland etc) it certainly became tough.

	minor9th:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 23:56 GMT	4 points
	Got East Africa but missed UAE and HK. It was fair but still sneaky to include the continental XIs

	Bagwell1212:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 07:36 GMT	2 points
	Always miss United Arab Emirates in all the quizzes it is in! Good quiz. Since I am still learning about Cricket, this was challenging.

	DrRichie:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 09:06 GMT	6 points
	Missed the three composite teams. Like the late great Bill Frindell, I don't believe those games to proper matches anyway. Great quiz.

	Ali, Afrghanistan beat the netherlands! :P

	I only remembered most of the minnows because of Brian Lara Cricket.

	I had 19 and couldn't for the life of me work out who I would be missing. I never had even heard of East Africa and still am not a fan of naming things like the ICC XI as a one-day international (That's an issue for the ICC though, not sporcle). But having said that - great quiz!

	tjscouse:	Sep 11th, 2009 at 15:06 GMT	-3 points
	great quiz!!! 25 out of 25! i was so lucky, just guessed afica n asia n they came up!

	JeffB:	Sep 12th, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	4 points
	So sick of people commenting to brag how well they did.

	Garble86:	Sep 13th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	0 points
	I typed in East and Central Africa. That's what I know it as... Wikipedia says that was the name used after it played in the World Cup...

	davebesag:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 17:16 GMT	4 points
	The fat Bermuda player (Leverock) can be seen taking a stunning catch here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlQk1y00fvc

	ICC World XI is harsh....only one I missed. :(

	horses:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 10:54 GMT	1 point
	mcLovin: i agree, thought the three area XI's hadn't been classed as official! meh
