If there's any interest, I'll mark it at the end of the series. One point for each name down (so eleven points available for question 8).

Cheers chaps. England at Trent Bridge starting to look a bit dodgy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Matt Prior took the most catches at Trent Bridge. Dhoni only got one innings to keep, and was ahead at half way. A point is awarded for Binny's debut, though some may lose this down the line.

2: Dan/Shanks/Arthur.
1: Hants/CF/GG.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Everyone went for Jadeja and Anderson for bowling the most overs at Lord's And they were the top two most bowled.

4: Dan & Shanky (Dan needs Pandey to make his debut at the Oval or he loses three points)

3: Arthur & Hampshire.

2: GG & Splinters & CF (GG needs Pandey to make his debut at the Oval or he loses both points)

Shanky got Broad as top wicket taker in Manchester, though he only bowled in one innings.

Ballance was a near miss for many for nearly facing as many balls in Southampton as Cook. Similarly Jadeja bowled nearly as many balls as Anderson at Lord's.
