THE THURSDAY QUIZ

In tribute to the Ashes, it's an Australian theme...

1) What was Eddie Charlton's highest ever ranking?

2) Prior to Neil Robertson winning the 2006 Grand Prix, who was the last Australian to reach a ranking tournament final?

3) How many Australians have played at the Crucible?

4) Who beat Quinten Hann in his only ranking event semi-final appearance?

5) Who beat Neil Robertson on his Crucible debut?

1) 2
2) Warren King
3) 6? (I know it's at least 4)
4) Peter Ebdon sticks in my mind for someone reason (Hann made the semis at the Irish Masters in 2004 which was the year Ebdon won)
5) Haven't a clue, but I'm going to guess at Stephen Hendry although I have a feeling it was Murphy he beat on his debut.

I was going for five, but wasn't sure John Campbell had entertained us at the Crucible.

The Ebdon guess was an educated one, for similar reasons to the person above.

Didn't Paddy Morgan play in the Crucible?

Question 4 is interesting. If Hann was not losing 5-6 to Ebdon, then the Final will be Hann vs King with 1 of them will already won a ranking tournament 6 years ago.
