In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on Test cricket’s No.11s.
The Laws of Cricket enables everyone in the playing XI to bat. This comes in particular focus in Test cricket, where everyone needs to bat for a side to be bowled out. The batting of the No.11 – almost always the least capable batter of the side – thus, can cause hilarity or applause or a combination of both.

The story is almost certainly apocryphal – so much so that the “protagonist” varies from Fred Morley to Bert Ironmonger to Don Blackie to Eric Hollies.
