I can think of about 4 off the top of my head. I might need to jot a few down as they come to me before starting this one.

I saw this last week, and got about half of them, mainly the older ones. Main problem is spelling some of the names correctly, I tend to give up with the Sri Lankan ones.

To be fair, the BBC seem to have accounted for the spelling issues!
They haven't been all that accurate in their clues though - one so called opener batted at three for the majority of his career!

The BBC do give a bit of rope on some of their quizzes, but not all. I had a go on one but failed due to various incorrect attempts to spell some of the premier league players and managers names

I got 24/27 but I'm sure I got one Sri Lankan who got marked wrong. Perhaps spelling, but unlikely. I also had a few wrong guesses, that didn't seem to get counted either, so perhaps you could name every cricketer ever, or until you got bored, which would come first.
I got perhaps half a dozen from the descriptions, which I wouldn't have got without, and I got all the English ones, and one obscure Aussie, but I guessed the wrong captain - not Ponting - which I corrected second guess. And it was a guess, not remembered at all.

yes, Cowper was one I omitted, yet its blokes like him who score triple tons you should remember better as its about all they ever did in their career. Cannot recall who the other one was that i struggled to get.

I abandoned my attempt, I think I knew a lot of the answers but I was having trouble bringing the names to the fore. A problem not limited to BBC quizzes worst luck.
At least it wasn't one of those timed ones that I'm even worse at, more a question of losing patience with myself.
