Re: Rare entries quiz VII - Cricket
Only two entries so far... I'm most disappointed in you all!
As it stands there's no real point in closing the quiz just yet, as the two entrants will be tied on equal points. So I'm extending the closing date indefinitely at this point until I get some more entries in!
You don't need to know anything about cricket, you just need to know how to find the answers and pick the 'rare' ones!

Re: Rare entries quiz VII - Cricket
Um. I didn't come last?
:/
With the Northants answer- the only thing I can think of is sticking with football tradition in which Division One isn't the top division. But I entered this so long ago I can't remember what I was thinking.
Yay, I have now spammed 2000 posts onto the board. Go me.
