Good quiz. Ten minutes is too long though - 7 should be enough.

Good quiz. Doesn't Tony spell his name 'Greig' though?

In 1999 there were 4 captains? - Stewart, Atherton, Butcher and Hussain. How come?

@Getoka: Alec Stewart was captain at the start of the year but was sacked after the world cup finished in June '99 and replaced by Hussain. In his first series against New Zealand Hussain got injured and Butcher replaced him for one test. Atherton never captained in '99 but he captained from '93 up until early '98 and then again for two tests in 2001 so he is marked down as captain from '93 to 2001.

Good quiz but do make sure the spellings are right! Luckily I refused to believe I was wrong when I entered Greig and it didn't come up so I tried again with the deliberate misspelling of Grieg and lo and behold it worked. Getting the spelling of names wrong when setting quizzes is a schoolboy error so take care in future. Otherwise very enjoyable.

Who in their right mind let Allan Lamb anywhere near the England captaincy?

I might be wrong but wasn't John Edrich captain for one of the ashes tests in 1975? That notwithstanding, great quiz!
