Yeh well done SJS..sadly it might have to bring an end to membersstand word gamesSJS said:Thanks. But the most difficult part was making the anagram !!
Mate, I am not sure what's happening here, but the nature of the questions on this thread are getting wierd and silly !! This obviously was intended to be funny, but there are questions being posted on this thread which are bordering on plain rubbish and nothing to do with cricket at all !!membersstand said:
Now SJS I thought was posting serious questions until recently he seems to have gone off the plonker as well !! I blame it on you fellas
. Its your bad influence thats driving poor SJS up the creek as well. He started with house where WG Grace was born. OK by stretching the limits of aceptability we can take it as Cricket Trivia, but the recent one absolutely takes the cake !! And confirms my recent observations !!
SJS has gone off the rocker as well in posting plain silly questions . Previously someone did make the observation and SJS was p*ssed off . But SJS Mate, get a hold of yourself !!
We have a responsibility to maintain the standard of this thread and not encourage the posting of questions which are totaly unrelated to cricket, because we will then turn people away from this thread !!
I am just simply disappointed by the nature of the questions that are being posted lately !
Just my humble request to everyone posting on this thread !!
Please try and post questions which are cricket and cricket only !!

We need another question to get back on track. Given that I'm gone in half an hour and won't be back for a week I won't ask it..
I've got one.
"I met X at a match in England several years before he was into the international side and asked for his autograph," Y recalled. He said he didnt have the time. "When we beat them in the cricket world cup I went upto him and said, 'A few years ago I asked for your autograph and you wouldnt give it. Now I am saying you can have mine.'"
Who are X and Y?

The heavy modern-type ball with wound core and thick leather cover did not come into use much before 1760 when Richard Duke of Penshurst, Kent was making first class balls between 1748 and 1762. He is credited with inventing the modern ball. There is mention of a crimson ball in 1753 and this may be a reference to one of Duke's balls.

Loads taken though
Kidding.
I am amazed that when so much ridiculous stuff, masquerading as serious passionate discourse, is tolerated on this forum, why a little bit of fun cant be tolerated on a fun thread like a quiz-thread ?
I wonder.....
