Quiz! Name the nightwatchmen with the highest men’s Test scores

by Wisden Staff 4 minute play

Can you name all 16 players to make 85 or more runs in an innings as nightwatchman and ace this quiz?

The names are taken from this list and includes one double-centurion, playing his last ever Test match, and one batsman who made two centuries as nightwatchman in the same year, making a strong claim for a permanent promotion.

A handy hint: In times gone by, it wasn’t uncommon to stick a wicketkeeper up the order to protect the specialist batsmen, so keep them in mind when guessing. You have four minutes. Good luck.
