OK here go my questions:

1. Joel Garner was called "Big Bird". Who was called "Little Bird?" (also a West Indian)
2. How many Test matches in history have been won by a team that followed on after the first innings?
3. In the match which saw Jayasuriya score the fastest 1-day 100, SL had an opening stand of 70. How much did Kalu score? And who won the match? (This one's easy)

1: Malcolm Marshall ?
2: 2 I guess.. Ind vs Aus @ Eden Gardens was 1 of them ;-)
3: Here the Qn is wrong.. You are talking abt the Singapore final @ 1996.. where Kalu scored a duck of that stand of 71.. Jayasuriya scored the fastest 50 off 18 balls in this match.. Incidentally Pak won the match and the tourney.. of course due to some stupid umpiring that day..

Sorry, you're right. The 3rd qn I meant fastest 50. You got that one bang on.

The first qn the answer is Curtly Ambrose. In a typical example of West Indian humour, he was nicknamed Little Bird because he's half an inch shorter than Garner.

The second qn the answer is 3.

Nick Knight scored 100s in back-to-back ODIs. He was the first I think to do this, but the feat has been repeated. Don't quite recollect who.

[MavericK]

Well I guess he meant on 2 consecutive days and not matches.. so shd hv been @ Sharjah..
I think Lara achieved this one.. dont remember
or maybe Anwar

Guess I should have been clearer. When I said back-to-back, I meant a double-header. Two ODIs on consecutive days. It was in England. I had seen the matches and I recollect the commentators saying that it was a first. I don't think Lara has done it till date.

How about this one.

Who was the first (and I think only) batsman to score a double century in a limited overs game? (Hint: It was a 40-overs a side match)
