    There's a link between the bowlers who took the wickets and that's really what I'm asking for. I probably worded the question badly.

    This is cricket? The two players were bowled out by the same person who did not play between these two matches.

    The second bowler is currently in India - just hope that he doesn't leave his shirt there again!

    Yes, but from a specific place in England. As I've given when the matches took place, I'm surprised no one has looked on Cricinfo.

    You're half right yorkie - Shahadat Hossain was Finn's first Test wicket, but Gary Kirsten was Mark Ilott's last Test wicket - the last 2 men to take Test wickets for England that were born in Watford.

    Is this anything to do with Pizza the polar bear? There was a story in the news earlier this year about a lonely, teary-eyed polar bear living in an enclosure in a Chinese shopping mall.

    What is it about Oct 4 that should make snakes happy?

    I don't think that St. Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland on Oct. 4th - which could have made them happy. Could it be that Oct 4 is a biological factor which enables the self renewal of stem cells, the possession of which allows them to have such long bodies, which I guess they would be happy about - otherwise they could have ended up like rats (nothing of course against rats - pc and all that).

    Well that didn't take long...

    Yes - Oct4 is one of the genes involved in trunk formation, it remains active for longer than others during a snake's embryonic development, giving it a longer body.

    Over to you.

    Cheers BB. In 1936 a Public health act was passed which changed the World for goldfish - what was it, and who was affected by it ?
