ConnecTv cricket and Boonie up for grabs!

14-Dec-2006


Shane Warne: Far too many wickets against England for his some fans' liking... But which two bowlers have been England's star turn?
Well, there's no two ways about it, it's been a disappointing December if you're an English cricket fan. It started out so promisingly, with an urn to defend and Mark Ramprakash's quickstep to look forward to on a Saturday evening, but now with the Ashes slipping from England's grasp and rampant Ramps in the papers for all the wrong reasons, what better way to bring some Christmas cheer than another Ashes competition?
If you're an Australian fan then you can make your season all the more jolly, fa-la-la-la-la etc.. so have a go. And if you're neither, then you don't stand to lose anything - and you can only be a winner!
More importantly, it's a chance for us to give away another three pairs of the Beefy and Boonie dolls that are incessantly wittering on in our office... The three lucky winners will also win a ConnecTv cricket game from Radica, giving you the chance to get off the couch and into the action, playing real shots and bowling real bouncers with a plastic bat and ball, so thankyou Radica!
Go on, enter our competition and you could have the two most attractive moustachioed men of all time in your living room for Christmas (well, in plastic form), as well as the perfect game to burn off those mince pies.... So, here's the question:
Shane Warne has taken 181 Ashes wickets since he bowled that delivery to Mike Gatting in 1993. In the same period no English spinner has claimed more than 27 Ashes wickets, although two have 27. Who are they?
