1. Harold Larwood Harold Larwood came up with his ?leg theory? for the 1932-33 Ashes series in England, when Australian captain Bill Woodfull said the famous quote of ?There are two teams out there, but only one team is playing cricket. The other is making no attempt to do so?.

2. c: Try to get as many runs as they can The bowler might bowl a no-ball, so the best thing to do is try for a six or four and hope. In this particular end-of-innings context, if the batter hits a six from a no-ball, then the scores are tied with one legal delivery still remaining.

3. Kerry Packer

4. Brian Lara Lara scored 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994. Hanif Mohammed came close. He scored 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1958.

10. Donald Bradman Sir Donald George Bradman was Australia's best-ever cricketer with a total of 6996 Test runs. His highest Test score was 334, which former Aussie captain Mark Taylor once equalled. In his last innings he was bowled for a fourth ball duck, only needing 4 runs for an average of 100, but received a standing ovation nonetheless.
