5. Where was 'The Timeless Test' of March 1939 between England and South Africa played?

Answer: Durban

Play had to be abandoned on the 10th day because the ship which was to take the England side home was almost in Cape Town some 800km away. They arrived in Cape Town just as the ship was about to leave the harbour.

6. Besides Harare, what other city hosts international matches in Zimbabwe?

Answer: Bulawayo

Zimbabwe might not have ever had the most talent, but like New Zealand, if you under estimate them, they will surprise you.

7. For sheer beauty, few grounds could beat Newlands which lies at the foot of Table Mountain. In which city would one find it?

The fastest ball ever bowled during a World Cup at the time was done so at Newlands during the 2003 cricket World Cup. It was bowled by Shoaib Akhtar.

8. Cricket players want to experience playing in front of 100,000 fans at Eden Gardens, located in which city in India?

Answer: Kolkata

It was Shaun Pollock's dream to play at Eden Gardens, as it was the only major Test ground he hadn't played at. He played there in November 2004 and, unfortunately, South Africa did not play all that well.

9. The cricket ground at Auckland also doubles as a rugby ground.

Answer: True

Eden Park hosts both rugby union and cricket matches. This is quite remarkable if you take into account how badly rugby boots can mess up a field.

The MCC is an acronym for Marylebone Cricket Club, and they are by far the most famous club of all. Their home ground is Lord's and you can spot a member of the MCC by the red and yellow striped ties that they wear.
