Quiz! Name the batsmen with the most runs at No.5 in ODIs

by Wisden Staff 5 minute play

In this quiz, you’ll have to name the batsmen with the most runs at No.5 in ODI cricket. Can you?

We set the cut-off at a minimum of 2,000 runs, meaning there are 24 names in all, with the highest-scorer, a Sri Lankan legend, making as many as 4,675 at that position.

It’s a curious position too, with strike-rates increasing in that role, the more recent it is, given the modern game’s need for quick runs.

You have five minutes to name all the players in this quiz. We’ve mentioned the runs these batsmen have scored in that position over the years, as well as the span of their full ODI career.

Ready? All the best!
