I'm stunned that none of you have read the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. You should, they're very enjoyable.

Famous for his fielding prowess, cricketer Jonty Rhodes made 4 World Cup appearances. Can you name 3 of his teammates from any one of the 4 World Cup squads he was in?

Correct!

I'll forgive your misspelling of Allan ;-)

Those four were in the same South Africa squad in 1996, 1999 and 2003.

Rhodes, Kirsten and Donald were also in the 1992 team, but it was too early for the 18 year old Pollock.

Well done, Judders! Over to you.
