You mean professional cricket not first-class cricket - Shane Warne hasn't played first class cricket since 2007. (The IPL isn't first-class.)
Couple of those came up last night although a bit easier thankfully.....It was something along the lines of Which member of the royal family auctioned her hat this week? and Which 60's singer died this week, who had a hit with xxxxx and also came second in Eurovision
Hi Richard, and welcome to LAM

Cheers

None. I don't think any UK newspaper has actually revealed his name (though the Sunday Herald did lead with a front page photo).
Hi Joe
Thanks for that - I've changed the post now.
