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.

 

[hornethologist a.k.a. theo]

Completely stumped! Even Google doesn't seem to know the answer...

 

[geitungur akureyrar]

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

 

[Jsybarry]

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

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Are we talking English bowlers?

 

[Jsybarry]

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.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Finn is one?
Martin is the other??

 

[Jsybarry]

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.

What can't a pizza be happy in China?

 

[NZHorn]

Can a pizza be happy anywhere?

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Can a pizza be happy anywhere?

 

[hornethologist a.k.a. theo]

Because it's not the chow main?

 

[Bolton's Boots]

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.

Sticking to that theme...

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 ?
