His tweets during the second match of the 2013 Ashes in Adelaide reached a critical mass when he branded England’s batsmen ‘scaredy cats’ as they capitulated against Aussie fast bowler Mitchell Johnson and told them to ‘grow a pair’. In reply, retired Australian bowler Y challenged X to an over of his bowling in the nets. Since he had barely been retired for a year and was still consistently bowling for Big Bash League side Sydney Sixers, Y had not yet lost any of his pace. Y showed no mercy as four of the six deliveries hit X on the body, leaving him with a broken rib. Sir Richard Hadlee later called the incident “a dangerous and unnecessary stunt”. ID X and Y.

  Question 13 France foundthemselves in a playoff game against Ireland to even qualify for the 2010 World Cup – something that the French likely didn’t anticipate. Regardless, France managed to win the first game in Ireland to the tune of 1-0. And in the return leg in Paris, the Irish were beating France by 1-0 until the Thierry Henry did X in the buildup to the winning goal. Some would say that this changed the course of history, which it did, just not in a groundbreaking way – unless you ask an Irish football fan that is. But beyond the altercations on the pitch and the change of which team arguably deserved to qualify, this event had other consequences that people don’t always recognize. What did Henry do, which would not have happened in modern football given the introduction of VAR?
