I'm sure he won't. I'm surprised SJS didn't pick up your mistake though. He's a little off his game in the Big Apple :p


Here's a passage about an unusual incident in Test cricket:

In the fifth test between Australia and England at the MCG during the blank season, umpire blank refused to take the field after tea on the third day because of complaints made by some English players about his decisions. Australian player blank deputised for umpire blank during the last session of the day. English manager blank took over on the last day.

When was this Test? Who are the umpire, the Australian player, and English manger in question?

Well done Jason, is hard at the moment, with the regulars:

SJS= jet set life with work
Jason= not sure, but not around much at the moment
Tapioca= well only ever comes in for a quick visit
Burkey= in love
Archie Mac= still here waiting to get a life :D

A Question

Name the secret men's only ground, where women are not allowed to visit?
Clue you only receive two for a boundary. And the ground is in a Rugby mad Country

Great summary there except for the one about you. Don't be so hard on yourself. Tapioca's thing is he knows all answers but no questions
