Cricket Quiz (Novice)
The latest instalment of The Ashes — the storied cricketing contest between the national teams of England and Australia — is just now getting under way in Brisbane. To celebrate, we launch our first new quiz for some time, a novice-level Cricket Quiz that even those with scant knowledge of the game can approach without fear. If you’re the sort who doesn’t like to linger over abstruse pleasures, cricket might not be the game for you, but you could still try the quick version of the quiz before making your hasty judgement: it has all the questions on one page with a minimum of supplementary information. Whichever version you choose, here’s the first question:
The first official international cricket match was held in 1844. Which were the participating countries?
A) Afghanistan and India
B) Australia and England
C) Canada and the United States
D) Ireland and Scotland
