The Daily Hundred Challenge Is Back
If you've been following The Hundred this summer, you'll know there's a brilliant little ritual running alongside every matchday — the BBC Sport Who Am I? cricket quiz. We're now into clue number 11, and if the previous editions are anything to go by, today's mystery player will have you scratching your head at least once before the penny drops.
As someone who's spent years watching and analysing cricket at all levels, I genuinely enjoy these daily puzzles. They're a smart way to test how well fans actually know the players beyond the headline names — and in a competition as packed with international talent as The Hundred, that's no small challenge.
How the Quiz Works
The format is refreshingly straightforward. Each day during The Hundred, BBC Sport's Marc Higginson sets a new mystery cricketer drawn from this year's tournament squads. You're given an initial clue, and every incorrect guess unlocks a new one. The fewer attempts you need, the higher your score.
Getting the answer in three attempts is considered a solid result. Nail it in one or two and you're firmly in the exceptional category — worth bragging about to your mates at the ground or in the pavilion bar, for certain. Think of it a bit like the cricket equivalent of Wordle, but with genuine stakes for your reputation as a fan.
Why These Quizzes Matter for The Hundred
From a coaching and analytical background, I think initiatives like this do something genuinely useful — they encourage supporters to look beyond the big-name overseas stars and actually learn about the full squads. The Hundred has done a tremendous job of elevating players who might not otherwise get mainstream attention, and a daily quiz shining a spotlight on one of those cricketers each matchday is a clever bit of engagement.
With 16 games broadcast across BBC Two and BBC iPlayer this season, including both finals, and ball-by-ball commentary available on BBC Sounds, the tournament has never been more accessible. The Who Am I? series runs neatly alongside all of that, giving fans something to do even on days when there's no live action to watch.
Where to Play and What's at Stake
You can find today's quiz directly on the BBC Sport website. If you want to keep up with the full series — all eleven editions so far and whatever's still to come — BBC Sport have compiled all the Hundred Who Am I? quizzes in one handy location, so you can catch up on any you've missed and compare scores with fellow cricket enthusiasts.
For those of you with a flutter in mind, staying sharp on player knowledge is never wasted. Understanding who's in form, who's been selected, and which overseas players have made the biggest impact can all inform smarter decisions when the outright winner markets start to tighten as the tournament reaches its climax.
Get Involved Before the Clues Run Out
Whether you're a diehard Hundred follower or a casual cricket fan dipping in for the summer, these daily quizzes are well worth a couple of minutes of your time. Head over to BBC Sport, take your best guess, and see if you can crack Who Am I? No 11 before the clues stack up against you. Good luck — you might just need it.
