I gotta go now...

i am completely transfixed by this one!

I think I will have to give it to OFH, you are sort of correct in adding 11, but the figures have to be one more than its predecessor.

So 4-5-6 would progress to 5-6-7 but there is no such time as five sixty seven.

The next time that fits the clue is twelve thirty four .

1-2-3-4

Thanks Dave. A simple one after that.

What record does Dino Zoff hold?

The oldest player to win a World Cup winners medal ?

I said it was simple. Oldest player to play in a World Cup Final, let alone to get a winners medal. All yours cologne.

Cheers Frenchie. Another simple one - most countries have national flags in the dimensions 2x3, or some variation of this. Which 2 countries are the only ones in the World to have completely square national flags ?

The obvious one is Switzerland. The second one returns us to the first question on this thread as it's the Vatican City.

Thought that would be a quickie, over to you Barry.

The last first class cricket match played in Watford was part of the last tour of England by a country before becoming a Test playing nation. Which country and what was the year?

Note that after a bit of research, I've had to amend my question slightly.

 

[Jsybarry]

Clue: a 500-1 shot came off that summer in probably the greatest turn-around in sport.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Was that Foinavon?

 

[Jsybarry]

No - the same sport as the original question. The primary players in the turnaround were from Somerset and Warwickshire, with a valuable contribution by a young man from Kent.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

1981 Headingley?

 

[Jsybarry]

That's the turnaround I was referring to, so you have the year, but I still need the answer to the rest of the actual question.

Was it Pakistan?

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Got it:
1981 Middlesex paid their one visit when they lost a one-day match against the Sri Lankans by two runs.
