    Cheers Yorkie. Ok. Where would you find a cobra followed closely by a dog ?

    Nice try Dave ! Unfortunately I was thinking of something else - the dog immediately follows the Cobra in this.

    Yoga? I've heard colleagues who do yoga referring to cobra and dog poses, but I've no idea if they are in that order.

    You are right Barry - the dog pose follows the cobra pose in many yoga programmes and also in the sequence known as the solar salutation. Over to you.

    A couple of clues: not British but European and was at Derbyshire in the 70s and 80s.

    It might be the Dane, Ole Mortensen, but he was playing in the 80s and 90s I think.

    Oops - I looked at him representing Denmark in the 1979 ICC Trophy, but his Derbyshire career was from 83 - 94. Over to you.

    Just to add a bit, the spike is sometimes called the iron.

    To help out a bit, this game will be found in Berks, Bucks, Glos, Oxon, Northants and Warks.

    Spot on NZ. It is quite difficult although it looks easy enough.

    Over to you.
