by Wisden Staff 5 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name the playing XIs in the Test with the most combined caps across both teams.

The game in question was played between South Africa and India in 2011, with the most experienced player in the game making one of his most famous centuries, defying an opposition quick at the peak of his powers. However, the Player of the Match award went to the hosts’ most experienced player, who notched twin hundreds in the game.

The match was a draw, but India far outstripped South Africa on the caps count, with 844 Test appearances across their team. The Proteas had 671 caps between them.

We’ve given you the number of caps played by each player heading into this game to go on. You have five minutes. Good luck!
