Golf is an old name, one that first appeared in our written language in 1425.

It's believed that the old Scottish word "goulf" (or gowf), meaning "To Strike or cuff" was one origin.

This should be an easy one for most, but which australian cricketer was man of the match in his last match, man of the series in his last series, and never played a game for australia again.


(hint: the only night watchmen ever to score a double hundred, and one of only 5 to have scored a double hundred, but never a 'normal' hundred)

No idea, not as huge a cricket fan as perhaps I could be.


I do like a game of cricket tho (spesh with a beer), I'm just not a super enthusiast.
