Here is more a debating point than a Triv Question.

Who was the better coach - The Gnome or Mick the Dick?

Both were reviled and ridiculed by different playing groups. Justified?

Yes, that’s all it was.

A reverse cryptic, if you like: answers provided, think of a ‘question’.

by skully Wed 16 Feb 2022, 13:01

Fill me in on the Fleming cryptic clue, please.

by lardbucket Thu 17 Feb 2022, 05:23

If you’re hawking, it’s noise.

If that starts to be productive, you’re ‘phlegming’. Fleming, by report.

(both Stephen by coincidence)

by skully Thu 17 Feb 2022, 06:23

Wow, never would've got that!!

Fleming lends itself to many decent cryptic clues. Can involve a failed lemming a James Bond boss on leave.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Feb 2022, 20:20

or Fleming bails ...

Fleming Bells, we could have been when England played NZ back in the day…

First Warnie-Bacchus trivia: Two blokes played Test matches with both of them One was AB. The other played a total of four Tests with either. Who is he?

by skully Sun 06 Mar 2022, 05:12

by skully Sun 06 Mar 2022, 05:16

Nah, that's not right, he debuted just after Bacchus pulled stumps.

by skully Sun 06 Mar 2022, 05:19

Must've been Mo Matthews.

by Fred Nerk Sun 06 Mar 2022, 05:24

Correction: Besides Border there were two others. Both of them in well-known ads post-playing career, one of which also featured Warnie.

EDIT: Mo is one.

Whitney

by Fred Nerk Sun 06 Mar 2022, 05:47
