Captain's Cap: the cricket captains quiz

Captain's Cap is a free cricket captains quiz. Each puzzle names a team and a year, a national side or a T20 franchise, and asks who captained them most that year. You have two guesses. Puzzles are numbered, with an archive, and none repeats.

How to play

  1. Read the team and the year.
  2. Search for the captain and make a guess.
  3. Wrong? You get one more guess.
  4. See who led the side most that year.

Scoring

100 for the first guess, 60 for the second, and none if both miss. Ask for four choices and your answer scores half.

The questions

Our team enters the captaincies, and each is asked once. Franchise sides show by their city alone. When every captaincy has had its puzzle, new ones come as more are added.
