At a pub quiz a few weeks ago, there was a Family Fortunes round, where we had to guess the most popular answer collected from, er, a group of Family Fortunes Viewers (note that this is not the same as The Human Race).
The question was: “Name a type of bat.”
We said “Cricket”.
Almost everyone else in the pub said “Vampire”, apart from one team who said “Pipistrelle”, clearly not understanding the important distinction I made earlier.
The top answer was – Cricket.
I am not sure what this says about a) my similarity to a Family Fortunes Viewer, b) cricket’s popularity among Family Fortunes Viewers, or c) the type of pubs I go to. In all cases, I’m not happy.
We’d have said a Kookaburra Big Kahuna.
That was the second most popular answer.
Tim was picked to raise the IQ level of the England team (specifically the bowling unit). Evidence of his super-braininess is provided by lentheyorkhsirekitman whose word of course, can be utterly trusted:

Geoff Miller lives round the corner from my Dad. Although that doesn’t explain why Bresnan is now in the England team.
Owais Shah is the new Rob Key – both England’s nearly men.
