Why are they still testing cricket? You'd think that by now they would have gotten the bugs worked out of it.

You can't get the bugs out of it because cricket is a bug, duh.

I may condone England being on this quiz, but the West Indies is not a sovereign nation.

Perhaps people should lose half of all their points every time they post a comment that ignores anything in the instructions.

Might be a good idea for member countries of the 'West Indies' test cricket team to be answers on this quiz.

Well for that matter, "Ireland" is not a single country either - but in Cricket and Rugby the Republic and Northern Ireland play as a united team. If you know anything about cricket, you know that the West Indies are a test cricket "nation".

As much as I am not a fan of cricket, despite growing up in Zimbabwe, it was a really great quiz. The only two I didn't get were the West Indies (I was trying Jamaica and Barbados knowing that they play cricket, I didn't think to expand) and Afghanistan.

I am the opposite of a nitpicker, which is why I tried West Indes like 5 times. Can you be less nitpicky on this spelling?

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” You could have tried a different spelling or two, surely...

Is "Test Cricket Nations" the right title for this quiz? I get the non-literal usage of the term "Country" in application to sports. But haven't heard "Nations" being used in the same way.

Just wondering, I'm not claiming to know much about Cricket or sports terminology. (I skip most of the sports quizzes usually haha)

Yes, it is correct. You claim to know nothing about cricket then come to tell us this is wrong anyway?

Maybe just "Test Cricket Teams?" That would remove the need for the caveat as well.
