Bugs Bunny is the correct answer...I had seen him say that phrase in at least three different cartoons.

Since @RDP posted the quickest answer, he can set the next one.

 

[RDP]

Cheers.

Let's try a cricketing one.

Who was the first female commentator on Test Match Special and in which year.

 

[Spamcan81]

Rachel Heyhoe-Flint?

 

[RDP]

Rachel Heyhoe-Flint?

No. Although she did do other broadcasting work.

 

[GRALISTAIR]

That has to be Alison Mitchell.

 

[RDP]

That has to be Alison Mitchell.

Afraid not. There was one before her.

 

[Donny Dave]

Issa Guha?

 

[RDP]

Issa Guha?

No

Hint

You need to go back to the 1990s

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

There was an Indian lady cricket commentator in that period called Chandra Nayudu, who died in 2021.

No. Wrong nationality but she was not British.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

No. Wrong nationality but she was not British.

Are you questioning her nationality, as she was born in 1933 in Indore in India. I only know of her as her father was the captain of the first Indian Test Match cricket team.

 

[Peterthegreat]

Would it be Donna Symonds?

 

[RDP]

Would it be Donna Symonds?

Near enough. It was Donna Symmonds.

She was the overseas guest commentator for the England tour of the West Indies in 1998. She was also part of the TMS team for the 1999 World Cup and the 2000 West Indies tour of England.

Your turn to stump us with the next question.

 

[Peterthegreat]

Staying with cricket.
Two England players have scored centuries in all 3 formats of international cricket - test, ODI and Twenty/Twenty.
Name them.

 

[Donny Dave]

Ben Stokes and Joe Root?

 

[Peterthegreat]

Ben Stokes and Joe Root?

Neither of those.

 

[xotGD]

Jonny Bairstow

 

[Donny Dave]

I've since looked up the answer, so I'm not going to post it. 1 of them I did consider, but the other person I would have been guessing at for quite a while!

 

[Peterthegreat]

Jonny Bairstow

Not YJB.

 

[OhNoAPacer]

Freddie Flintoff

 

[SuspectUsual]

Jos Buttler

 

[Peterthegreat]

Freddie Flintoff

Nope.

 

[Peterthegreat]

Jos Buttler

Is one. And the other?

 

[SuspectUsual]

It’ll be one of those in the team / out the team people from a few years ago. James Vince or someone like that

Sort of. He's probably not thought of as a Test player so much.

 

[RDP]

Eoin Morgan?

 

[Peterthegreat]

Eoin Morgan?

Sorry not Morgan.

 

[OhNoAPacer]
