All the solutions to our recent quiz of all things cricket in 2016

WE are well into 2017 now but 2016 will always be remembered for a wonderful year of cricket.

From West Indies’ dramatic World T20 victory to that thrilling final day of the County Championship at Lord’s, there was a lot to take in.

At the beginning of the year we had Ben Stokes going mental with the bat, then at the end Australia were well beaten by South Africa at home.

But perhaps the most memorable was The Cricket Paper’s quiz of the year in the final edition of 2016.
