Stump The Guru

here's one for you. bizarre at that!! when, how and why did fried calamari stop play? unusual one this and i'm pretty sure it has only happened once. good luck

something very fishy with this reply hammer, this is not the plaice for jokes, get your skates on and let's sea how well you do. don't get crabby if you don't get it strait away, keep trying chum!

OK, it was during a South African domestic match at Paarl, in February 1995.

Daryll Cullinan hit a six into a frying pan full of calamari.  It was about ten minutes before the ball was cool enough to remove the grease.  Even then, the bowler was unable to grip the ball, and it was replaced.

I don't know who finally ate the ball.

 

Off the top of my head, that's Mike Gatting and Shakoor Rana, 1987 - the location is....Faisalabad?

Need a question posted please,Jp or merv,or anyone?

I have one if anyone dosnt mind please..
In test cricket dismissals what order do you think would be the most to the least for each form of dismissals,
example would be first caught,then stumped ,then bowled,then,lbw etc a hint is there is 11 forms of dismissals in the list,
They differ in caught by fielders,caught by keeper,caught and bowled,take some thinking but anyway thats the question
i will give you the start you gotta give me the 10 below the first one....

No 1........20,891 caught by fielders.
no 2 .......
no 3......
etc, Good Luck

so we have to list the type of dismissals in order from highest to lowest based on how many times that dismissal has taken place in history. is that what your question is asking?

Ashley Giles
