Since it's fairly quiet here, I thought I'd start a World Cup Quiz.
Guess the all-star team and the link between the players.
1. Entertaining Indian opening batsman that averaged less than 30 in both Tests and ODI cricket. He never played T20 cricket.
2. This wicket-keeper made his Test debut more than 3 years after his ODI debut and ended his test career with exactly 100 sixes
3. This batsman hit the winning runs for Australia when they regained the Ashes in 1989.
4. Great batsman who averaged over 50 in Tests and over 40 in ODIs and took 8 International wickets (5 in tests and 3 in ODIs)
5. Stylish middle order batsman, who was also a useful bowler and very good fielder. He played for Kent as their overseas player in 90s and hit one of the best ODI innings in the B&H final in 1995
6. Great batsman who had the highest ODI individual score until it was broken in the 90s. Great captain too
7. Allrounder who made his made his test debut in 1971 and took 0 wickets in both his first and last test, yet he ended his career with over 350 test wickets.
8. Charismatic spinner who helped his country prevail in 2 successive World Cup semi-finals in the 90s from losing positions
9. Great fast bowler who was part of the fearsome foursome. He averaged less than 21 in both test and ODI cricket.
10. The first ever bowler to take 6 wickets in an ODI
11. Left-arm fast bowler held the world record for the highest Test score by a number 11 in 2004, however this record has since been broken more than once.

5. Aravinda Da Silva
6. Viv Richards

3. This batsman hit the winning runs for Australia when they regained the Ashes in 1989.
