no wonder i forgot it, i still don't get it - duplicate of qadir ?

N.B- i do realise abdul qadir is a former pakistani legspinner and he is obviously meant to me a duplicate of him, but i don't get why taiwan is an appropriate nickname :confused1?

Correct, bryce.

Taiwan is infamous in the subcontinent for making duplicates of Japanese electronic stuff and selling it at much cheaper rates.

i'm not really a fan of this thread turning into the SJS format since we already have a thread for that, so i will post questions which are very 'answerable' IMO,

Who is the only Kenyan born player to represent New Zealand in international matches ?

Superb!

Ok, this is an "England touring Southern Africa" stylee, so it's vaguely topical.

When England last toured SA & Rhodesia (as was) in 1964 Ted Dexter was late joining the party for a unique (I think) reason.

What was that reason?

Yep, close enough for me! He actually stood for parliament as the Tory candidiate in a constituency in Cardiff. As you say, he got his a*se whupped. The winner was James Callaghan, the future Prime Minister (he was the one before Mrs Thatcher).

Your go! :)

Adam Dale comes to mind but as far as I know he retired shortly after the 2002/3 season !! (and his shoulder surgery was before that !! ) So I am stumped on this one !! :D
