Of the current England squad who has won the most caps ?

Ashley Cole?

Correct Sodhat ............ 91 caps

Could break the alltime record given the lack of a decent left backs

could go for a few years yet too, only early thirties I think.

Ok, who was the fastest (in terms of time) batsman to pass 5,000 test match runs?

I would say Steve Waugh

Alastair Cook ? remember something being mentioned during the ashes

no to both gents

To quote Ron Simmons " Damn " ... you dont know what the Ally Cook thing was do you Sodhat ? it stuck in my head for some reason .


Mike Hussey ?

Kevin Pieterson?

Kenny - I think he was the highest Englishman to get so many runs in a Test?

was it something to do with time at the crease without getting out kenny? I know he finished not out before smacking another load of runs in the second innings.

And, yes twist, you got it!

Cheers guys it must of been something like that .

How many stars are on the Brazil, USA and China flags combined?

No googling the flags now

70 ?

USA 50...
China 12?
Brazil...24?

86 in total I make that

How's that for guesswork?

I fear I'm a million miles away though!

Your actually quite close. USA is right, but you have over egged China some what and Brazil you have under cooked it.

That gives me the confidence to have another go!

USA 50
China 6
Brazil 36

Nope you are further away than your first guess now.

Gibson is closest so far

1965. I know they didnt have subs in the WC 66. So it must have only been in the league?

Yes it was '65. I did say in the question that it was football league. Bob Knox of Barrow was the first player to come off the bench and score a goal in the football league. A lovely man who I knew through my brother-in-law. When he retired he ran the newsagents and sweet shop that we used to use on the way to school.

Your turn Gibson
