Mistakes do happen and it’s good to know that quiz masters and columnists get rapped on the knuckles when errors slip in. We made a faux pas a few weeks ago which Anjan Kumar Chandra from Calcutta was quick to point out. Thanks Anjan. It is alert readers like you that keep us sharp. We had asked: Who was the first cricketer to score a century on his Test debut and also in his last Test appearance? Our answer (Greg Chappell) is incorrect. R.A. Duff of Australia was the first cricketer to do so. He played between 1902 and 1905.
