(If your opponent fouls on the break and doesn't leave you a clear shot at a red, the referee can declare a "free ball". You pot one of the colours as if it's a red, then put down the black, scoring a total of 8, you then go on to make 147 as usual, for a total of 155 :) )

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

14 there was somethong on a break in a cricket match the other day when they were saying you could get 5 penalty extras for tampering with the ball but I thought you only got a warning for this.

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Err, no you weren't, that one's still going.

It's the *character* I'm looking for.

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

14) Ball hits the keepers helmet :Yikes:

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Interesting, I'd not heard of that one, but it's still not what I'm looking for.

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

2) In that case, KoKo :)

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

In that case - The LOrd High EXecutioner - KoKo

edit Grrrrrrrrr Raist
at least I got the opera and thus gave you a clue

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Well according to google 5 penalty extras can be awarded for

Tampering with the Ball
Distracting or Obstructing the Batsmen
Unfair Fielding (which i think includes my answer for stopping the ball unfairly ;) )
Time Wasting
Ball hitting Wicket Keepers helmet while on the ground

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

I'll give you that one.

As I understand it, it's if the ball hits *a* helmet that's been left on the field (or, possibly, any other piece of equipment that's not currently in use) then five extras are awarded.

I can't find anything to confirm that there are extras for throwing your hat at the ball, although that could possibly technically come under the above.

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

6) Robert Frost

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Yes, the Executioner :)

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

14 I suppose could be for when the batsmen run 5 for a leg bye

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

:woot:

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

:rofl:

Oh stop moaning, you've got loads right already :D

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

P~~~~~~~~

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Well I got some right but I was too slow..so I'm with Raistlin. ;) sorry Metawraith

Are there any left?

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

As far as I can tell, it seems it's only hitting the helmet that gives a mandatory five runs, all the others are at the umpire's discretion, but I'll give you a bonus point :)

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

I think they are all gone and we just awaiting Umpires decision on the cricket Q

Re: The Real Friday Quiz
 

Nope.

As one onion said to the other onion "That's shallot"

(WHAT??? :D )

A short break now whilst I collate the results...

As is traditional, here's some music:

* * * * *

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs--
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that--
And all third persons who on spoiling tÃÃâ€*’ªte-ÃÃâ€*’ -tÃÃâ€*’ªtes insist--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS.

He's got 'em on the list--he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be miss'd!

There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be miss'd--they never would be miss'd!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she dances, but would rather like to try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist--
I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed!

CHORUS.

He's got her on the list--he's got her on the list;
And he don't think she'll be missed--he's sure she won't be miss'd!

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS.

You may put 'em on the list--you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed!
