In this quiz, you have to name the fastest players to 10,000 Test runs – but in the correct order.

Only 15 players in the 149-year history of international cricket have crossed the milestone of 10,000 Test runs. Simply naming all of them might be a bit too simple, so we've tried to spice this up a bit.

Giving away the team they played for might also be too easy. So your hints here are the innings taken by each batter, the date of their Test debut, and details of the match in which they reached 10,000 runs. You have five minutes to name all of them. Good luck!
