Real cricket trivia (verified)

Safe, TRUE trivia to draw from: the 1939 'Timeless Test' (England v South Africa) was abandoned after NINE days because England's ship home was leaving. Don Bradman needed just 4 runs in his last innings for a career average of 100 and was bowled for a duck — 99.94. Two players have hit six sixes in an over in internationals: Herschelle Gibbs (2007 World Cup) and Yuvraj Singh (2007 T20 World Cup). The first World Cup was 1975 (women's was 1973, earlier!). A Test over in 1932 once took no runs off 8 balls (Australia used 8-ball overs until 1979). Use ONLY these or other facts you are certain of — never invent trivia.
