10. Which supposedly dying cricket 'art' was completely reinvigorated by Australia's Shane Warne, Test Cricket's leading wicket taker from 2004 to his retirement in 2007?

From Quiz The Antipodes On Top of the Sporting World

Answer: Leg-spin bowling

Prior to Shane Warne's emergence on the international cricket stage in the early-mid 1990s, leg-spin bowling was very rarely seen except in old videos of matches from before World War II. Leg-spin (or wrist spin) bowling involves imparting an anti-clockwise spin on the ball as it leaves the right-hand bowler. When performed well, the ball lands on the pitch in front of the batter and moves sharply away from a right-hand batter and in towards a left-hander. The bowler will then vary this with a delivery that appears the same but does not spin, or even spins in the opposite direction. The reason leg-spin almost disappeared at high levels of cricket for such a long period is, that if not performed well, the deliveries can be very easily hit for lots of runs. Hence the opposition's total run score mounts quickly. Warne's cricketing genius was a combination of an amazing control over his bowling so there were very few bad deliveries, an ability to bowl several different types of delivery with imperceptible changes of action and an extremely astute mind which quickly analyzed a batter's weaknesses. Warne delighted cricket fans around the world with his abilities and even more importantly, he revived the art of leg-spin bowling to the point where most international teams and many more lower level teams turned to leg-spin bowlers. Warne's test cricket performances included being the first player to reach 600, then 700 test wickets. He also took nearly 300 wickets in international cricket in shorter forms of the game. Many cricket fans were deeply saddened by his passing in 2022 at the age of 52 from a heart attack. This question was delivered into the quiz by Phoenix Rising member MikeMaster99, who hugely enjoyed watching Shane Warne's battles with the best batters in the world and marveled at his ability to make such a difficult art look so very simple.

12. What team event did Fiji win at the 2016 Olympic Games?

From Quiz Sports in Fiji

Answer: Men's Rugby Sevens

The Rugby Union Sevens was first contested at Rio de Janeiro and the flamboyant Fijians took all before them. They were unbeaten in the group stage, and then knocked off the World Champions, New Zealand, in the quarter-finals. They beat Japan in the semi-final, before hammering Great Britain in the gold medal match. They won 43-7! Four years later in Tokyo, they showed that their previous win was no fluke, defeating rugby heavyweights Australia and Argentina, before picking up their second successive gold medal, defeating New Zealand in a very entertaining final. The Fijian women's team are no slouches either, claiming the bronze at Tokyo. Fiji has been represented at almost every Games since 1956, and had never won a medal of ANY colour prior to the Sevens. This scrum-ptious question was written by ozzz2002, for Phoenix Rising team's 2022 World Tour.

The first device to be called a bicycle was a machine now commonly referred to as the penny-farthing. It featured a large, up to 5-foot diameter, front wheel, and a much smaller hind wheel.

Interestingly, penny-farthing is a retronym, rising with the need to differentiate it from other things called bicycles.

From Quiz Sports the Way I Play Them; Part One

Answer: Baseball

How bad do you have to be at something to have a measure of mediocrity named after you? The answer is: have a lifetime batting average of .215. There were MLB players with lower averages, but only Mario Mendoza has the Mendoza line. It is the .200 mark, and nobody wants to get below it. Mendoza claims the term was coined by his Seattle teammates Bruce Bochte and Tom Paciorek to tease him in 1979 when his average was below the line at .198.

23. In which sport do you drag, spin, tie, reel and sometimes snag a line?

From Quiz Toeing The Line

Answer: Fishing

In fishing the string used to dangle bait and hook and reel in a fish is called a line. Many lines are made of nylon, because it is strong, durable and has a bit of stretch, but other kinds are useful. Depending on the water, type of fish sought, and style of fishing (such as deep sea, off shore, fly casting, ice) the type, weight, color and nature of line varies. Nobody wants to "snag" a line, though, for instance on weeds or an old tire. Line is a danger to many kinds of wildlife, so it should be gathered up and taken home when the fishing is done.

27. Ralph has traveled to England and is stuck on a narrow strip of grass; surrounded by a mass of student bodies and up against a long wall. What on earth could he be playing?

From Quiz Ralph the Llama Gets Physical

Answer: The Eton Wall game

The wall in question is found at Eton College, an independent school in Southern England that has provided many of Britain's prime ministers. It dates from 1717 and the game, which is played formerly on St. Andrew's day and Ascension Day, dates back to 1766 and probably further. Like most sports it has its own glossary of terms which includes the calx, bullies and furking. The rules for scoring are too complicated to explain here and, anyway, many games avoid troubling the scorers by finishing 0-0. It's a long time since glendathecat went to school and, unfortunately, it was nowhere as prestigious as Eton.
