To be more precise than that and hopefully erode further confusion.

SL have never won a test in either Perth or Melbourne so 0% at both. BUT IMO there record in Perth is worse than in Melbourne having played at the former ground twice and the latter once.

Do you see what I am saying?

OK, so you want the most games played at a single ground by a team that has lost every game?

rest would need research, or can be answered by someone who has already done the research. not something you would know by just following cricket

Same procedure as last time. Don't post the answers here. PM them.

Also, this is a general cricket quiz, not an Ashes one so hopefully more people will get involved. Gotta say, he's got some real toughies in there. Good luck!
