In this quiz, you need to name the players who have been dismissed for 99 or 199 in men's Tests since the turn of the century.
Until the 1901/02 Ashes, no batter had been dismissed between 97 and 99 in Test cricket. Then, in the Melbourne Test of that series, Clem Hill became the first to be dismissed for 99. He was not done, for he followed it with scores of 98 and 97 in his next two innings. Four seasons ago at Sydney, Hill was the first Test batter to fall for 96 as well.
