+cincol Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 The number of wickets lost by England are not shown but assumed to be 10 after 50 overs. The target for SA at 43 overs would have been 207 - so the match was already won at 42.5 overs!!!
+TeamDJ* Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Nope. Just a hint: A Duckworth/Lewis calculation under the rules in 2006 would have first set South Africa a target of 273 in 45 overs, and then reduced this to XXX from 43 overs. South Africa lost that game.
+Carbon Hunter Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 In WW1 - the german African forces were lead by Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. In which country did he surrender (in 1919 - only after news of the Armistice reached him)?

In which country did he surrender (in 1919 - only after news of the Armistice reached him)? Zambia? Apologies - my info was incorrect. You are correct - he crossed from Mozambique, but it is accepted that the surrender occured in Zambia. All yours bigG114
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Hi bigG114 - all yours - otherwise TeamDJ - I think you can ask as you also had the correct answer

+Carbon Hunter Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Bill Payn was a Natal Provincial rugby player - but is probably more famous for another sporting activity - what was that activity?
+Bouts777 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 CH, wasn't that question asked a few months ago? Was he not the guy who ran the Comrades in his rugby toks?
+Bouts777 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Person of the Year (formerly Man of the Year) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, group, idea or object that "for better or for worse, ...has done the most to influence the events of the year." The tradition of selecting a Man of the Year began in 1927. Who was the first "Man of the Year" for Time Magazine?

+cownchicken Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks! What kind of animal is a bellwether and what does it do?
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Some type of insect that predicts heavy rain? Perhaps an ant species?
+cincol Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Bell? The cow in the Transkei that has the bell around its neck that clangs when it walks and the others all stay in the vicinity?
+cownchicken Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Bell? The cow in the Transkei that has the bell around its neck that clangs when it walks and the others all stay in the vicinity? The animal does have a bell around its neck but it is not a cow.
+cownchicken Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Sheep with a bell? Yes it is a sheep, but what does it do? Edited April 24, 2013 by cownchicken
+the pooks Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Isn't it one of those poor sods who has had his tubes tied so when he tries his luck the bell rings to remind the farmer or ram (who has real goonies) to step in, so to speak? PS: If anyone wishes to misinterpret this explanation, you do it at your own risk. This is information based on fact! Edited April 24, 2013 by the pooks

+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Sheep - leads the flock - and the bell allows the shepherd to know where the flock is/or is going?

+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 The SA Army held a victory parade here (see photo) - it is famous for other vehicle normally - where is this?
+cincol Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Looks like Greyville Race Course in Durban or perhaps Turfontein in Johannesburg. Either way, a race course in SA. Edited April 24, 2013 by cincol
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Looks like Greyville Race Course in Durban or perhaps Turfontein in Johannesburg. Either way, a race course in SA. On the right track (kind of) - but not correct.
+cownchicken Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Goodwood Showgrounds? (There used to be Stock Car (Hell Drivers) races there long ago.) Edited April 25, 2013 by cownchicken
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Actually the army is South African, the location is not. So this was a Victory Parade at a famous venue during wartime.
+cownchicken Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I would think somewhere in Italy seeing as there were so many South Africans stationed over there during WW2.
+cownchicken Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Just asked my better half to name a race track in Italy and he says Monza.
