On behalf of Zorax, I say "Fire Away!"

Nope...I have one to ask....

it is more of a riddle...see if you can figure it out.

A bowler was in the middle of a fine spell, and while into his last over of the spell, he picked up a hat trick! Oddly, he had gotten batsmen number 5,6 and 8 out, which seemed odd, knowing that once a batsmen got out the one two numbers below him would come in, ie. if no. 6 and 7 were on strike and 6 got out, no. 8 would come on strike. Batsmen number 5 and 6 were on strike for the hatrick. If this wasn't strange enough, the bowlers hat trick came off only two balls!

How was this possibe?

EDIT: Oops...skipeed a page before I posted this....my guess to Andrews question would be to add Toronto, Afghanistan and France to this list?

Toronto is in Canada, which has already been mentioned.

Afghanistan and France are also wrong.

I'll give you a clue for one of the remaining two.

Look at number 5 in Aseem's list.

Look at Ireland? But Scotland and Wales are already in his list.

I know they are. That's why I asked you to look at Ireland......

Timed out? But the bowler is not supposed to get credit for that.

EDIT: Or how's this. #5 & 6 are batting, but #6 is facing. He hits it in the air and the batsmen cross. #6 gets caught on that ball. One ball done, one batsman out, #5 facing now, #7 on the non-strikers end. Next ball #5 gets stumped, off a wide. Still one LEGAL ball, two down, #8 facing now and #7 still at the non-strikers. Next ball #8 gets out whichever way. Two legal balls, three batsmen out, #6,5 and 8.

I know they are. That's why I asked you to look at Ireland......

hmmm.. Isle of Man and Channel Islands.

 

[andrew_nixon]

hmmm.. Isle of Man and Channel Islands.

You still need to look at Ireland....... and you're so close with one of those......

 

[shahid6995]

Ok.. NORTHERN Ireland...

 

[andrew_nixon]

Ok.. NORTHERN Ireland...

Well done...... just one more to go now.....

 

[shahid6995]

And the other one has to be either Jersey or Guernsey.

You've got it, it's Jersey. Hosted 3 women's ODIs back in 2002.
