    Is it that cucumber relation that explodes its seeds? There’s a few plants that use that method.

    No - nothing to do with cricket, or any sport. And this pre-dates Waugh by a couple of decades.

    I have never heard of him, but I think this is the "Tartan Pimpernel", the Rev Dr Donald Caskie, code name Monsieur Le Canard.
