  1. Police have terrible trouble trying to solve murders in Collingwood. There are no dental records and all the DNA is the same.
  2. Did he lead a toothless attack?
  3. I did one of those two or three years ago. A Demonland search should turn it up.
  4. It's a race in two. I just added my answer to be a smart Alec.
  5. I know! Stuart Broad?
  6. Myth apparently. Have a look at Snopes to discover the real reason.
  7. 3. Michael Slater (jumbled warnings = jumbled alerts).
  8. I said I was tapping out but I fibbed. 9. Sir Garfield Sobers I believe.
  9. I wonder why no club drafted this Dawvhim kid.
  10. I wish they were balmy. Unfortunately, they are barmy. They give me the Edgar Britts as well.
  11. Good to see somebody else have a go! I'll pluck a couple of the low hanging fruit and leave the rest for others. 6. Don Bradman 8. Cameron Green
  12. Nice job there, deespicable. It's obvious that you've put a lot of time and effort into this. As you're no doubt aware, you'll never please everybody with these sort of lists but I can't say I have any quibbles with your first 20 players, other than to note that Brock McLean is the nephew, not the son of Ricky. Looking forward to future instalments.
  13. Is that a far cough I hear from you?
  14. Some might say that I'm the bent one. Anyway, onto those outstanding (due that is, not remarkable) quiz answers. Q1. I mentioned this one was very sneaky and that the commentator wasn't connected to cricket. The announcer in question is John Laws and "leg" is a reference to the on side in cricket. Laws and on = Lawson. Yes, it's the same answer as Q12. That was exceptionally devious of me, wasn't it? Q10. I provided "Demonstone" as a hint and it's the second part of my username that is the clue. The "Mick" in question is Mr. Jagger who is a Rolling Stone and we all know that they gather no moss. The answer is Jeff Moss who only played the one Test in 1979 but nevertheless qualifies. Musical Bonus: Bros does not refer to the 80s band consisting of the Goss brothers, but to Greg and Ian, the Chappell brothers of Australian cricket fame. The "opportunity" referred to is another word for chance or, as it sounds like, chants. Put them all together and you get Gregorian Chants. In the immortal words of Jack Thompson in that old 70s TV ad for Claytons, "Now we can all get some sleep". Thanks for playing. Given that it's Boxing Day, you may now punch me next time our paths cross.
  15. Not related to the Marsh boys. I once worked at the M & M factory as a proof reader, but got the sack for throwing away all the W's.
  16. Not good old Stumpy. This bloke's a fast bowler.
  17. Watching Big Bash is reason enough in itself to make anybody miserable. Big Bash is to cricket what AFLX is to football. I'll give it another hour until 8.30pm and spill the beans on any unanswered teasers at that point. Nobody's had a go at the musical bonus question yet. It's one I'm particularly proud of.
  18. Pat Cummins is the correct answer! One stroke = Pat plus Cummins (diesel engine).
  19. Not Bruce Reid, dl4e.
  20. Tim May not the correct answer for Q10. You're not going to sleep tonight until this is resolved, are ya!
  21. Nice thinking mo, but incorrect in this instance. I can reveal that Q1 is very sneaky and the commentator in question isn't involved in cricket. The clue for Q4 refers to both the player's Christian name and surname.
  22. That leaves just three to solve, namely Questions 1, 4 and 10 plus the bonus musical teaser. To get this thing over and done with, I'll now waive the two correct answer limit and make it a free for all.
  23. No point keeping you in suspense. Q6 is Starc (Star = sparkling plus C = hundred in Roman numerals) Q7 is Waugh (Not Victoria = WA plus disgusting = "ugh") Both of these were solved by WCW who is currently hounding me for further clues to Q10. I'll provide others with the same clue. Demonstone
  24. You may send me your questions on the back of an unmarked $50 bill. I'm thinking it may be time to reveal both the correct answers that WCW has in the bank. Any objections?
