Quiz! Name the XIs in Michael Atherton’s first and last Tests

by Wisden Staff 10 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name the England and Australia XIs in Michael Atherton’s first and last Tests.

As you’d expect, with both games being Ashes clashes before 2005, England were hammered in each, losing by an innings both times with Australia racking up two scores north of 600. England took 10 wickets for 1,242 runs across both games; Australia claimed 40 for 1,037.

Only one Englishman features in both XIs, and if you can’t figure out who, there really is something to worry about. One Australian played both games. He made a duck the first time while making his way in the team, and made up for it with 157 not out as captain second time out.

You have 10 minutes. Good luck!
