Also: a couple of centuries and five half-Fors, rejected by the first ball for two innings, and the hypothetical career statistics by Brian Close

When Trent Bridge, Tim Bresnan had played eight tests and was always on the winning side. This is a record? asked Michael Vowles from Northampton

Tim Bresnan has done a very good start to finish his career on the winning try in all their eight matches so far, which is equivalent to the English record of Andrew Strauss. Career entire record is held by West Indies Eldin Baptiste, who played 10 tests between 1983-84 and 1989-90, and won all 10 career test But better start saving and Bresnan is to point, was created by Adam Gilchrist, who was on the winning side in each of his first 15 hits - from 1999 to 2000, until the famous match in Kolkata in 2000-01, Gilchrist 16-Test, which India won after follow-up. There is another Australian, Stuart Clark, who won his first 13 tests, while Brett Lee, which debuted in the same period of Gilchrist, finished on the winning side in his first 10 runs before losing his 11 (at Headingley in 2001). Thilan Samaraweera of Sri Lanka was also the winning side in each of his first 10 tests.

Don Bradman did you really need four points to finish with an average of 100 tests? What if he had beaten again in the second round of this event in 1948? Glyn Davies called Essex

Don Bradman scored 4 instead of 0, which proved to be his final test at-bat against England at the Oval in 1948, would have ended with the beauty, the batting average round of 100. I never thought enough stories about having tears in his eyes when he came to bat: apart from anything else, would not have known at the time it was his last race - Australia were 117 for 2 when he was out, but it is true that England had just upset 52. If Don had a run on the oval after a duck in the first, it would have needed to score 104 or more, if you were fired (or four or more to remain not out) have completed an average of 100. I suspect it should be noted that statistics in cricket when things are not available immediately, now - surprise me if he knew the precise details of what was an average of 100.
Stuart Broad is the first test cricketer at a time to take a hat trick and be subjected to someone else? Lewis asked Fox Australia

No, Stuart Broad - who was the third man Peter Siddle hat-trick in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane last winter - in fact, is the fifth player to have exactly this distinction in testing, one of the other is one of His hat-trick victims at Trent Bridge, Harbhajan Singh. The other took a test hat-trick and also is featured in a Darren Gough in England, Australia and Nuwan Zoysa Shane Warne Sri Lanka. Gough appears in Warne hat-trick, and Warne is of Harbhajan.

Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad both scored a fifty and took a five wicket taken away from each in the second Test in Nottingham. Is it ever happened before in Test cricket? Said Fahad from Pakistan

It is unusual for two players to manage this feat in all directions in the same test. There have been 10 times before: George Giffen and Albert Trott, Australia against England in Adelaide in 1894-1895, by George Hirst and Hugh Trumble, the match between England and Australia at the Oval in 1902 by Alan Davidson and Wes Hall, related test between Australia and West Indies in Brisbane in 1960-1961, Wes Hall and Polly Umrigar, West Indies v India, Port of Spain in 1961-1962, by Ian Botham and Kapil Dev, India v England Sir Ian Botham in 1982 and Imran Khan, Pakistan v England at Headingley in 1982 by Lance Cairns and Ian Botham, England v New Zealand at Wellington in 1983-84, by Brett Lee and Chris Cairns, Australia v New Zealand at Brisbane in 2001 -02, Mohammad Rafique and by Chigumbura Elton, Bangladesh v Zimbabwe at Chittagong in 2004-05, Shakib Al Hasan and Daniel Vettori and New Zealand v Bangladesh at Chittagong in 2008-09.
Tim Bresnan had taken on board at Trent Bridge, Abhinav Mukund was removed from the ball of the first two innings. How many times this happened in Test cricket? asked Rasbihari Mathur of India

Ah, yes, I knew Tim Bresnan has done something wrong, Trent Bridge! Abhinav Mukundan strictly avoided joining the club of one - just a man separated from his first ball of innings twice in the same Test match Bangladesh Javed Omar, who fell to Zaheer Khan of India is a duck as golden as the second Test innings Mirpur in May 2007.

If Brian Close played all the available tests England from its beginnings to its final test is possible, the number of games he played, and based on his final average, how many runs and wickets he has done ? Langford asked Bob in Australia

Brian Close played his first Test for England aged 18 in 1949 and the last of his 22 games as 45 years in 1976. At this time England actually played 244 Test matches, so if Close was able to stay fit and for all, it would always be the most capped player by a distance. If it had maintained its average test - a relatively modest 887 runs at 25.34 with the bat and 18 wickets at 29.55 with the ball - he would have something like 9800 and operates 200 branches. I guess it's the perfect place to point out that if Don Bradman and Sydney Barnes had played many tests, Sachin Tendulkar (179) and managed to maintain their average, they would have ended up with about 24100 points and 1250, respectively counters!

Bresnan and Broad was only the second pair of the same country to do the same test after Giffen and Trott (who made his debut test) in 1894-95.
