The crucial third game of the series is upon us. The sun is shining and cricket has started in the UK, so both Dave and Gary are in buoyant moods. This test will focus on cricket in the noughties, a seminal era for test cricket but how much will they remember and who will come out on top?

The rounds for this episode are:

1) How's Stat (Name the four players from their stats and guess the link)

2) Noughties but Nice Gary (Name the players with 15 or more test 100's in the noughties)

3) Going for Ian Gould (Guess the umpire from the clues in the shortest time)

4) Uptown Top Boyd Rankin (Name players who have played for two nations)

5) Super series test match (Guess the XIs from the 2005 Australia v Rest of the World XI)
