Cricket's most expensive over?
That's it.
I was actually a double record - the most runs from an over & the most sixes hit in an over in first class cricket, Canterbury's Lee Germon scored an incredible 77 runs, including 8 sixes, from a single over. Mind you, the bowler bowled 17 no balls, which is probably a record too...

Over to you.

Anything to do with the Miss Fiji beauty contest? The winner had expected to be in the Miss Universe contest in Mexico in November but was told that she wouldn't be due to claims that the vote had been rigged.
 
Yes the real winner was an indiginous Fijian.... and she won when the corruption was spotted


over to you
Am not sure that's accurate actually - the corruption came to light after the second winner was announced. The owner of the company licenced to hold the competition turned out to be her husband, who, it seems, had promised her she would win, and changed the voting rules when she didn't. And she isn't really Fijian either - was born in Sydney, Australian father/Fijian mother.

Then the Miss Universe organisation stepped in and handed the title back to the original winner... <doh>

Will put some thought into a question and post it later.
 
Which footballer, who had a morbid fear of flying, was told by his manager ahead of the home leg of a European tie that if he helped the team to a four goal victory, he would be excused flying to the away leg?

And who was the manager?

Too obvious I think but Sir Robert Charlton and Sir Matthew Busby (I think it is someone later)
