The answer to question one is incorrect....... When an umpire signals a six in cricket, they raise both arms straight above their head, not outstretched horizontally.......This question must have been written by someone other than an ''Aussie''
 
Whoever wrote this quiz has never played cricket. Umpires arms held horizontally is a wide. Six is signalled by arms held vertically. Also, I doubt that Albert Einstein is the king of pop
. I would be more inclined to think that was Michael Jackson.
Also, in cricket it is possible to score more than 6 runs from one delivery. If the ball is hit to near the boundary, the batters can run 3 runs, and if the fielder is too enthusiastic with his return throw (and possibly there is a woeful wicketkeeper) the returned throw might be missed and go through to the boundary for 4 overthrows, thus resulting in 7 runs.

You must be joking!
Q.1 A 6 in cricket is arms held vertically - the answer here is 'wide'.
Q.8 I'm also not sure that Einstein knew he was the king of pop!
These are errors which destroy the experience.
And, by the way, 'cherub' is a noun, not an adjevtive as used yesterday - that would be cherubic.
Do you have proof readers?
No mate , you must be joking .
Two arms held up vertical signifies 6 runs, ball over the boundary rope before touching the grass..
Arms outstretched horizontal indicates WIDE. that is WIDE, ball outside white marks at batting crease.
I played cricket, colts, seniors and district, rules have not changed as far as I know.
