Trivia: Can you measure your familiarity with the gaming sibling duo?

In the world of cricket, it's not every day that you see more than two brothers representing their nations in Test matches. However, history has witnessed ten sets of three or more brothers who have graced the field in this prestigious format of the game.

This fascinating fact is the focus of a new quiz available on the Wisden website. The quiz, titled "Cricket's Unusual Delays and Stoppages", delves into the realm of unusual dismissals in men's Test cricket, but it also offers a fun and engaging test of your knowledge about the brothers who have played Test cricket.

The quiz, updated on August 7, 2025, is part of the regular updates on the website, which includes live scores, match stats, and more. It consists of 10 questions per day, with bonus points for successful streaks and time remaining. To help you along, the quiz offers '50/50' and 'Third Umpire' lifelines to boost your chances.

Another interesting quiz available on the website is about unusual cricket teams. If you're a cricket enthusiast, these quizzes are a great way to test and expand your knowledge about the sport.

The website also provides the latest cricket news, player updates, team standings, match highlights, video analysis, and live match odds. It's a one-stop destination for all cricket lovers.

One of the most famous examples of brothers playing Test cricket is the Chappell brothers from Australia. Ian and Greg Chappell were notable Test players, and another brother was also involved at the international level. Interestingly, not all sets of cricket-playing brothers necessarily represented the same nation in Test cricket, and some even played against each other at the Test level.

The rarity and significance of having three or more siblings playing Test cricket is well recognized by cricket historians and is celebrated in cricket trivia and quizzes such as the one by Wisden. Unfortunately, the specific names of all ten sets of brothers were not listed in the search results, but the fact remains that this is a rare occurrence in the history of the game.

So, if you're up for a challenge and want to test your cricket knowledge, head over to the Wisden website and give the quiz a try. And remember to follow the website for continuous cricket updates.
