3) if the game was in pakistan i will say lbw
5) collingwood played in the draw at the end of 05 so my guess was wrong anyway- but i am struggling to think of an answer for that as he wouldnt have the most ashes tests without a win, wouldnt have the most ashes runs without a win

Heater youve crushed me. Parade my mistake around in the Don Bradman question, but dont put my great and very informative answer for question two up on the pedastool it deserved. Crushed.
Ill have another guess at question 1 - 39 first class wickets

My apologies I must have skipped that second post and went straight to MAY-Z's posts

In my defence I skimmed it and saw the number two. Also May-z answered correctly with 36 wickets for Don Bradman but I do give you credit for knowing his test career tally.

Also another clue Paul Collingwood's record was set in 2006/07 series

Syd Gregory's test career spanned from 1890 to 1911/12
