arre even i answered 4 correctly :x
anyways...regarding that 3rd ques, when u say batsman, u mean only a legitimate batsman or any of the team's 11 players. I looked for 1975 World Cup archives and here is the link of the first scorecard i saw, http://ind.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC75/ENG_IND_WC75_ODI1_07JUN1975.html
Match between Ind n Eng, and AW Greig scored 4 runs.
So, tell me how ur answer is correct?
