@Torunn

I hope the Norwegian legal system has some provision for keeping him locked up until he dies. In America, he would probably have been served 77 life sentences (sequential, not concurrent), no chance for parole.

The Norwegian legislation says 21 years maximum but that can be extended, and it will. Anders Behring Breivik will never be let out again.

Mike Hendrick, England bowler. Played 30 Tests in which he took 87 wickets. Always seemed to me to be a bit unlucky: probably bowled more played-and-missed deliveries than many of the other England seamers in that 1974-1981 era. He played in three victorious Ashes series. His bowling average of 25.83 was lower than many of his contemporaries, including Ian Botham, John Snow and Geoff Arnold.

@FMF

Yep, took most Test wickets for any bowler who never had a '5 fer'....

Ironically, was first England bowler to take 5 wickets in a 1 day international.

Had a ridiculously low career bowling average too, just over 20.

My favorite thing about ZZ Top is that the only guy in the band without a beard is Frank Beard.

Also, best album - Eliminator (1983).

Was. Then he had to go spoil it by growing one. Not as impressive a one as hus bandmates, but still.

Göran Zachrisson, a Swedish golf and sports journalist and television commentator from Stockholm has died at the age of 83. Zachrisson was known for his golfing skills and his distinct style of reporting.

Even those who didn't understand the game of golf appreciated listening to Göran, he made it so interesting.
