OK. Let's go back to cricket
In which year did England first lose a test match to New Zealand?
Who were the two captains?

I think this was in the 1975-1980 time frame and Richard Hadley era so I will go with 1977. Were the captains Bevan Congdon and Brian Rose?

At the 48th attempt, New Zealand finally won a Test Match against England in 1978 at Wellington. Chasing 137 for victory, England were bowled out in their second innings for 64, Hadlee taking 6 for 26. The captains on the day were Mark Burgess and Geoffrey Boycott.

On which European river can you take say a car or a motorhome on a scheduled ferry service where the trip takes nearly 3 hours to complete from start to finish? Remember, it must be a ferry on a river which takes vehicles!

The Guadiana ferry only takes about 15 minutes to cross from Spain to Portugal.

But they are in different time zones. I thought it was another trick question.

That would be another 10 or 15 minute river crossing.

OK - 1 hour and 15 minutes!!
No, the answer I am looking for is a 3 hour ferry ride (up or) down an obscure river - in the most unimaginable of places!!
OK -- I'm going to guess that it's the river Shkumbin in Albania.

Thanks. I must confess to having consulted my friend Google on this occasion, so I hope that doesn't disquality me!
I'm not going to ask another cricket question, as having been brought-up in Scotland I never played it at school, don't understand it and find it incredibly boring! (There....I've just alienated three-quarters of the forum members!)
Instead, who can tell me the name of the trophy awarded to the Scottish National Shinty champions?

It's the Camanachd Cup - and the only reason I know this is because the wife and I were up in Aviemore over Xmas / New Year this year and we called in to Kingussie (who have one of the best Shinty teams in Scotland) to ask where we might be able to watch a game. Come back in the summer they said!
