    It was indeed Barry - apparently forgetting which team he supported. Over to you.

    As the South Africa v England Test series starts in a couple of days, where was South Africa's last Test before they were suspended and who were their opponents?

    The record is currently jointly held by Cech and David James but if Cech keeps a clean sheet tomorrow it will be his - Sunderland's goal on Saturday prevented him getting the record outright.

    Sorry Brian, but I wanted David James included. He was one of ours, after all.

    Back to you Barry. I hope you are enjoying Christmas, too.

    Colin, Chris, Graham and Fabian. Basil, Damian and Brett. Each group of names has the same connection - what is it?

    Both lists are 3 generations of cricketing families. The first is from Colin Cowdrey - his sons being Chris and Graham. Chris Cowdrey's son is Fabian. The second list is from D'Oliviera - also 3 generations of cricketers.

    All played for the same county ? The Cowdreys for Kent and the D'Oliveira's for Worcestershire.

    Christmas Trees maybe, though I think Martin Luther is thought to be involved in putting lights on them. Candles in his case.

    That's the one Frenchie. The Brotherhood of blackheads was an association of unmarried tradesmen and shipowners in Livonia (now Lithuania and Estonia) who were responsible for the first documented use of public Christmas trees being used for celebrations in Tallinn and in Riga - in the 15th Century. Over to you.
