• 13:27:06: Okay lads, I am your quizmaster @venkatananth here. Will be hosting a Domestic Cricket (First Class) quiz in another 4 minutes. Gear up.
  
• 13:29:54: Are we good to start?
  
• 13:30:28: Q1: What was special about the Victoria's innings in their Pura Cup game vs Queensland at the MCG in 2009?
  
• 13:31:31: @kartographer Plahahaha. Dei.
  
• 13:32:54: @tifosiguy Nope. That's 1159 all out.
  
• 13:34:21: No correct answers thus far. Hmm. Think records.
  
• 13:35:00: Answer in a minute. Quick. Think hard.
  
• 13:36:34: Okay, no one's got this thus far. Anyone take a punt? Next tweet shall have the answer. Tough one, yes.
  
• 13:37:05: Okay. Answer time. A1) A1: Victoria's 806/8 was the highest first-class team score without the Queenslanders conceding a bye.
  
• 13:37:43: No one got the correct answer, but the next one *should* be easier, I hope.
  
• 13:38:03: Q2) In English county cricket, which two teams contest the "Welland Valley" derby?
  
• 13:39:24: @PranavBakliwal There was no bye. You're the closest to it, mate.
  
• 13:40:13: Okay, I have a flurry of replies for this (including one which says *googled*). So, yeah - Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.
  
• 13:40:39: Kudos to @ashwat @nithinchani @dolby_mehul. Good one, lads.
  
• 13:41:08: Q3) Which team has the unique distinction of piling on the highest innings-score in an FC match with none of its batsmen scoring a hundred?
  
• 13:42:21: I have a question I asked earlier in the day, which someone cracked. Assuming that person is offline, you can have a shot at it too. Right?
  
• 13:43:15: Hint: Think subcontinent.
  
• 13:44:26: One correct answer, thus far. Whatay!
  
• 13:45:06: @RoshanShetty Take Q3 please. And tell me if it can be googled.
  
• 13:45:54: And no, don't think Test cricket, please. We'll leave that for later. Think *domestic first-class cricket* (not List A/IPL/blah blah)
  
• 13:46:29: Ready for the answer? I have two correct answers thus far.
  
• 13:47:10: Three correct answers, now. Good crack.

• 14:05:34: Actually, four of the many players to have done so. I actually wanted to include Venugopala Rao, but that you know, would have been easy.
  
• 14:06:15: Q6) Easy one this. Crack. Who is the only English cricketer to have represented Portsmouth FC and Southampton FC in professional football?

• 14:13:59: I have an answer that is half-right.

• 14:25:34: Let's go. Q9) Which Sri Lankan first-class team plays its cricket at the Welagedara stadium? No hint.
  
• 14:27:04: All of them have cracked it alright. Question closed. @MalhotraSaurabh @chin512 @Dhaanu @sidvee. Spot on. Answer: Wayamba.
  
• 14:27:49: Penultimate question: What did Robert Croft #youremember? achieve when he dismissed Wayne White earlier this summer?

• 14:38:07: What I am looking for is the names they were known as earlier. These are franchises that have been formed in the last two years.
  
• 14:38:48: I see wiki/google at play here. I don't blame you. Some of the names are tough to pronounce, actually.
  
• 14:39:08: Right. I am closing this question in 2 mins.
  
• 14:40:09: Question closed.
  
• 14:40:37: A: Mashonaland (Eagles), Matabeleland (Tuskers), Southern Province (Rocks), Midwest (Rhinos) and Northern (Mountaineers). Country: Zimbabwe.
