Question of the day

[spkennyuk]

A quick one.

Whose probably not intended catchphrase is / was "Do I not like that ! "

 

[midlifecrisis]

Very easy, but I'll let it run...

 

[spkennyuk]

Take it if you want Martin. You missed your turn.

 

[midlifecrisis]

OK, it was Graham Turner, the England manager.

Correct. Over to you MLC.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Which sport would you associate with a private club being founded on 5 March 1891 at 43 King Street.

 

[cheshiremaserati]

At first I thought it was Marylebone Cricket Club but the King Street bit gives it away - the sport was boxing.

 

[markjc]

Boxing?

 

[allandwf]

Snooker

 

[spkennyuk]

Boxing is a good shout.

 

[midlifecrisis]

I'd thought that would run, boxing it is, Cheshiremaserati has the baton.
The club was the National Sporting Club which became the British Boxing Board of Control.

 

[cheshiremaserati]

How many batsmen have hit six sixes off six consecutive balls in one over in First Class or International cricket. For a star+ answer, can you name them?

 

[MrPea]

I can only think of Allan Lamb and his moustache.

 

[daverichardson]

Gary Sobers did it in 1968 I think He was the first.
So there must have been some more in that time scape - and you mention 'them' in the question
So I guess 4 in total but I have no idea of their names

 

[zagatoes30]

Herschell Gibbs and Ravi Shastri both have, so with Gary Sobers that is at least 3

Well, we do now have the names of 4, so are the any more we need to find?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Has Brian Lara done it? He was certainly a quality player with the ability to do it.

 

[BennyD]

IIRC, there was one quite recently in 20/20 and he might even have been in the England team.

 

[zagatoes30]

Don't think Brian Lara did and not sure if Alan Lamb has either. There was a Notts player last year got 6 sixes but I thought they were in different overs

 

[dickygrace]

Yuvraj Singh hit Broady for 6 sixes about 3 years ago.
