OK the answer was 26, the total New Zealand were bowled out by England in 1955

Somebody else can set the next question

I first thought it was that Dominic Littlewood fellow, who's the consumer's friend on the One Show but he'll have better teeth.

Right gents I need a little help if i can hijack the thread for a short while. I'm writing a quiz for an event this evening. Sports isn't my favourite topic. I need 10 questions and answers on anything sports related with a spread of questions across as many sports as possible.

It would be a great help if the forum could come up with 10 general sports questions. Nothing too tricky. I normally put 8 easier questions in and a couple of harder questions in each round. If anyone can chip in with a question and answer could you copy and add to the list below.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7
8.
9.
10.

Thanks all for any questions you can chip in with.

Here's a hard one, Honda Celebrated their 700th win in all classes of Grand Prix motorcycle Road Racing with Marc Marquez at Indianapolis last weekend but who got their 1st win? You could also ask who got their 500th or 600th to make it easier.

And interestingly there is a statue of said gentleman in Westminster in the Pimlico Gardens and Shrubbery.

Cool, right here's the next question for you all to answer.

In the film, ice cold in Alex, what was the name of the ambulance.

And to really show off what were both names of the 'south African' character?
