Trivia: Evaluate Your Knowledge on Wicketkeepers who Delivered Balls - Walcott, Dhoni, Pooran
Test your cricket knowledge in this exhilarating quiz all about wicketkeepers who threw some serious heat on the pitch! You'll lovingly land questions on the ten most legendary wicketkeepers who traded their gloves for a spell behind the bowling crease in the heat of competitive cricket.
You might be astonished to know that it ain't always been an either/or game when it comes to wicketkeepers and bowling – although it's impossible for them to perform both roles simultaneously in serious cricket, there have been a rare breed of players who were capable of filling both roles.
One such extraordinary example is England's Bill Storer, a multitalented cricketer who left an indelible mark on the history of the sport. Boasting a 13-year first-class career and six Test matches, Storer impressively notched up 17 centuries, 376 catches, 55 stumpings, and 232 wickets with his lethal leg-breaks. Alas, he's a tough act to follow!
Finding a contender for Storer's throne is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it's not impossible. Some wicketkeepers have dabbled in bowling, often as part-time options, though none have matched Storer's prowess with the ball.
So put on your thinking cap and give this quiz a go! Can you spot these wicketkeeping wonders who threw some serious heat on the pitch?
