another guess, similar to the previous one:

Mumbai - Sachin Tendulkar
Multan - Inzamam-ul-Haq
SCG - Steve and Mark Waugh (only Steve played in 2003).
By 'eck, I'm pullin' at straws 'ere

I'll agree with the first two and then add :

Brian Lara in antigua

[Maranello]

Oh okay, I will let you all out of your misery and provide the answer. It is:

1) SRT at Bombay, and quite right too, despite my reservations about having stands named after current players.
2) Inzi at Multan, interesting one, he deserves it, but this is far too early.
3) Saeed Anwar at Lahore; a bizarre decision if ever there was one.

No idea about a Steve Waugh stand at SCG, has anyone heard of one? A Brian Lara stand at Antigua? Intriguing. Even though he is a Trinidadian? I am sure one of our West Indian members (yes, that's you Ninjaman!) can elucidate.

As Mongoose was the first one to get two out of three (and perhaps all three), he should go next....

[Mongoose]

OK, a nice one here that doesn't require Google:

Name all the different ways of getting out in cricket.

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

OK

Bowled
Caught
Hit wicket
Handled ball
LBW
Run out
Stumped

Now there are things like hitting the ball twice and obstruction but dont think you can be out for those, but might get a ticking off !

[Mongoose]

You named nine ways, RBLC, including hitting the ball twice and obstructing the field, which ARE ways of getting out! There is one more.

[Maranello]

Yes I have seen Ramiz Raja get out for handling the ball and/or obstructing the field in an ODI, when at 99!

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

What about arguing with the umpire a la gatting ? OK he was fielding at the time......

[Mongoose]

Little Richie - I'll let you have it for giving it such a gallant shot! The missing link is 'timed out'. The incoming batsman must arrive at the crease within three minutes of a wicket falling. This raises the amusing image in my mind of a late-arriving batsman racing for the crease and throwing himself headlong to make his ground. In particularly close calls, you could maybe make a case for referring to the third umpire!

Next question is yours.
