Can you name every player with 1,000 or more runs in the fourth innings of Test matches and ace this quiz?
So received wisdom goes, there is no harder time to bat than in the fourth innings. Not only is the pitch often wearing after several days of play, but the pressure of chasing a total weighs heavy.
Maybe the skills are just distinct. Perhaps it takes one type of player to be able to come in and set the tone on the blank canvas of day one, and another to plot a path through the tricky course set when a five-dayer reaches its finish.
In any case, it’s a select club, the group of players to have reached four figures in their fourth-innings tally. Only 28 players have crossed the landmark. Can you name them all in six minutes?
