1 In cricket, a bowler's performance is typically described in relation to four measures- overs bowled, maiden overs (from which no runs were scored), runs conceded and wickets taken. Due to the rarity of maiden overs in the Twenty20 format, that measure is typically replaced by what other?
2 In the Toy Story movie franchise, what name is inexpertly handwritten on the sole of Woody's right boot?
3 In relation to the stock exchange, what three words does the acronym ETF most commonly stand for?
4 Which native American name is traditionally used by skydivers as they leap from an aircraft?
5 What was the maiden name of the Duchess of Cambridge?
6 Which absurdist Irish writer, best known for his 1959 play Waiting for Godot, won the 1969 Nobel prize for literature?
7 Which city is the official seat of the EU parliament?
8 Which actress was Mrs. Alec Baldwin from 1993 to 2002?
9 In the field of education, what four disciplines does the acronym STEM refer to?
10 First published in 1970, the Australian magazine Tracks considers itself the "bible" of which sport?

b)Australian slang never makes any sense to outsiders, so why not call

Good work! It's probably the only sport for which an Australian publication could be considered a bible, though where the name comes from I have no idea.

There is a song by the Squeeze(*) that very well summarises my opinion
on your cricket questions. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to
figure out which.
(*) Oh, since Calvin is from Australia, I should clarify that I don't mean
the quite awful Aussie band with that name, but the more well-known band
by Clifford/Tilbrook.
