Nathan Lyon
by Wisden Staff 7 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name every bowler – across genders – to bowl 20 or more maiden overs in an innings in Test cricket since 2000. You have seven minutes.

The rise of limited-overs cricket, especially Twenty20, has reduced the frequency of maiden overs. Despite that, 42 bowlers have managed to send down 20 or more maiden overs in a Test innings between January 1, 2000 and September 20, 2022. Can you name them all?

You have seven minutes. Remember that since spinners typically bowl more overs than pacers, they have a greater probability of featuring on this list.
