    No Craig - that's far too obvious. Hint: try to imagine almost the last person he'd be likely to want to drink with.

    You're getting a lot closer but no cigar yet (as the President said to the intern! )

    OK - this is taking too long so here's a couple more hints:

    This bloke was boring to watch, boring to listen too and he must have been a boring drinking companion (which means Rodney must have had a very good reason for wanting to drink with him, right?)

    30 minutes to get it right starting now. If you don't - I'll give you the answer and I get another turn to ask a question.

    The bloke in question is a lot more boring than Bill.

    OK - time's up.

    The answer is

    Geoffrey Boycott!

    I know, doesn't seem at all likely but it's apparently true. When Rodney was asked why he spent so much time drinking beer with Geoffrey, he said that, once he'd had a few beers, Geoffrey was quite happy to give away all his batting colleagues' little foibles and failings.

    This is backed up by Allan Knott who tells the story about a Test match at Trent Bridge. When the two of them were walking back to the pavilion, Knotty commented to Boycott that there was a slightly iffy patch just outside off stump at one end. Geoffrey's response was: "Yeah, I noticed that. Don't tell the others". :confused:

    Now the next question:

    "O for a draught of vintage that hath been cooled a long age in the deep delv'd earth"

    What comes next?
