S1.E6 - You Melvyn Betts

The final test of the series is, as per 90s cricket tradition, a dead rubber. Both Lee and Gary can play fast and loose, as we return to the UK to test their more local cricket knowledge. See who comes out on top, and play along yourself in this slice of nostalgic (largely) English cricket trivia.

The rounds for this episode are:

Day one - How's Stat (Name the cricketer from the stats)

Day two - The Hundred (but not as we know it)

Day three - No County for Old Men (an ill-fated attempt to integrate the county game)

Day four - You Melvyn Betts (bet on yourself to name as many within various cricketing categories)

Day five -The Root to victory (how many English male batters can you name with over 3,000 test runs at an average of over 45)
