Since this week`s Trivia Quiz finished early (thanks to jaukki) and since the donations are due to be sent off at the end of the month, I thought I`d add another smaller quiz.

So, as a `one-off` I`ll send $5 to the winner, and $5 to the Charity collection, if the answer to the quiz is found by midnight Thursday, the 30th of this month.

These are the only clues I will be providing.

I`ve played my sport at County level.

Although you won`t see me on the field any longer I can often be seen and heard in the commentary box.
You could get bowled over by these clues, but I`m not trying to catch you out.
I`m now enjoying a slower pace of life now I`ve stopped running.

WHO Am I?

Haven't I

Well, Cashier, that great Yorkshire batsman Geoff Boycott has now reappeared on our screens as a commentator on cricket after an enforced absence, but no not him.

Tony Greg

No, not Tony Greg, who I think does a lot of commentating in Australia if I`m correct.

(Rules say only one guess per day)

Ritchie Benaud !

The excellent ex-spinner and Aussie Captain Richie Benaud isn`t right, but a good guess.

The `WHO` in the one-off quiz is the ex England fast bowler, Bob Willis.

No one managed the correct guess, but here`s some information about this cricketer turned commentator. At one time he also served as England captain.

Look out for the next Weekly Trivia Quiz, starts on Sunday.
