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.

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

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

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

2) In that case, KoKo

In that case - The LOrd High EXecutioner - KoKo

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

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

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.

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