In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on Australian fast bowlers.
At Melbourne in 1878/79, Fred Spofforth completed the first hat-trick in the history of Test cricket. England were chasing 85 two and a half years later at The Oval. From 51-2, they collapsed to 77 as Spofforth claimed 7-44, including six dismissals without assistance from a fielder – and a mock obituary led to the birth of the Ashes. The Demon, they used to call him.

From Ray Lindwall and Keith Killer to Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson to Glenn McGrath to the current trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins, Australia have had their share of fast bowlers.
Quiz! How well do you know the West Indian spinners?
For years, Kathryn Fitzpatrick used to be the leading wicket-taker in women’s ODIs. Ellyse Perry would almost certainly have gone past her, had she not had to bat in the top four as well, while Megan Schutt has been one of Australia’s finest new-ball bowlers.
