Too good. Gonna have to start making these a bit harder. Q.....In the old John Player Sunday League ( 40 overs each )...who was the only man to bowl 8 overs, 8 maidens?

As stated previously, Ray Swann had county trials and played at the next highest level ( Minor Counties and top league cricket ) Mel Hussain was on Hampshire's books and has played minor representative and top league cricket for 30+ years. Swann had 114 tons at the last count and Hussain is...

Just too sickening to watch anymore. Leaping, shrieking Pakistani's....could anything be worse!!

Are you suggesting that he is incapable of finding any other gainful employment in the next 30-35 years? Sensible footballers make plans for the future whilst still playing. e.g Chris O'Grady, who already has another business up and running. Granted, DS is on a lot more money than COG but the...

There are some prolific ton makers but other heavy run scorers who don't get the same number of hundreds. Jim Parks played from 1949 to 1972 and made 51. Ken Suttle played from 1949 to 1971 and made 49. Both prolific run getters. Dexter, however only played about 9-10 full seasons for Sussex and...

Is also the correct answer.

No...not that rare but also not that common. If you play for 40 years, you have to make 2-3 a season, every season and thats more than most amateurs( and a helluva lot of pro's ) achieve.

Is the correct answer. Sorry I didn't confirm sooner. Footnote.....who was the last first class cricketer to reach this milestone? ( 2008 )

I guess they made him what they considered a fair offer and left it up to him. He has been very good for us after a very shaky start. CH perservered with him when others may have rested him. All through his time with us he has demonstrated good shot stopping ability and some blindingly good...

I think it was as simple as that...." happy for you to stay but you will have to fight for your place " Clearly no PL teams were interested in him, which tells a story. DS is not as athletic as a lot of top keepers and has a higher mistake ratio to his game than many. He is a brilliant shot...

West ham have to play their first three fixtures away from home....work going on at the Olympic Stadium. Must be a chance we get them early at the Amex.

Individual. Roy Swann played Minor Counties and top club cricket and is still playing at 66. Mel Hussain ( 53 ) was on Hampshire's books for a while and has played top club cricket for many years. Only 25 people have achieved this feat in the history of first class cricket and there are not many...

Not correct. It involves cricket and it is something that both less famous relatives have achieved.

On a pure PR system it would have resulted in........... Con.............276 Lab..............260 LD.................48 SNP..............20 UKIP.............12 Grn................10 PC...................3 DUP................6 Sinn F..............5 Others............10 Clearly the Liberals would...

First fixtures will be...... Huddersfield ( H ) Stoke ( A ) Burnley ( H ) Bournemouth ( A )

His brother is called Mel.

What has Graeme Swann's father got in common with Nasser Hussain's brother?

It takes a while in life to work out our system, who it benefits and the agenda in place. This eventually comes with experience in the workplace, meeting more and more people, travel and reading/study. It is not the ownership of the more mature to have greater understanding, there are many...

Not a difficult call. Every election seems to involve Farage either resigning, threatening to resign, coming back or threatening to come back. He is already making loud noises about a return, so it looks like a done deal. The King is dead. Long live the King.

But to be fair, they were getting on with it. Article 50 was triggered in March, so we are already nearly three months down the line with our exit. There have been a number of meetings already with leading European officials to sound out possible deals and numerous contacts worldwide to...
