Since this quiz hadn't been updated in 9 years, but still gets a lot of plays, I decided to take it over. It is now up to date and will be updated once every two years or so.

Yeah, that is correct. Gooch never went past 9000, Cook was the first English guy to reach that. Quizmaster missed Graeme Smith (RSA) who had 9265 runs and as a result Gooch's runs are listed incorrectly.

Gower is still wrong - he never reached 9000 and is way behind Gooch.

Here is my source.

Since multiple people have commented this I think it's probably wrong. Is there a better source?

This quiz is too US-centric.

Well, there went that theory.

Died at 41, taken by cancer. I still have trouble believing it could strike down such a fine man and player, far far too early.

Joe Root and Nathon Lyon are both out of order (both being current players, they've probably been sneaking up the list while no-one was looking)

Loved that there is a cricket quiz today. I knew vast majority of answers but ashamed to say that knowing how to spell the names of the Asian contingent proved to be my downfall.

An embarrassing zero for me. Couldn't recall so many famous names, and quite a few I could recall no longer feature. Also, fancy not scoring for "Smith" and "Singh"!

Seems like Kane Williamson doesn't have the 'is name' box marked. It doesn't accept his last name only.
