CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to A Question Of Sport. You have seen our guests.

They are ready and raring to go

so let's get started with the Picture Board.

It is a speed Picture Board and, Matt, your team are going first.

Anyone can shout out the answer, but you must pick the number.

I'm going to start with number eight.

-South African cricketer - who's that?

-Erm...

Quick, quick! Quick, who's that?

WHISTLE BLOWS

APPLAUSE

Steph Houghton was the England footballer.

-Barry Hawkins, the snooker player.

-Yeah.

-And Andy Carroll was the England striker.

-Carroll!

I nearly said Caddick.

-You also missed Becky James, the world champion.

-Oh, the cyclist?

Yeah, and JP Duminy was the South African all-rounder.

Other than that, it went really well.

-LAUGHTER

-Yes!

-OK, Tuffers, off you go.

-Ready to go. One, please, Sue.

Oh, Boult.

-Yes.

-Two.

Erm, oh, what's his name? Used to play for Bath.

WHISTLE BLOWS

-George Smith!

-Yes!

We got George Smith, we'll give you that on the buzzer.

Shaun Maloney was the Scottish midfielder.

He's just moved to America as well.

-In the sand, the heptathlete Kelly Sotherton.

-Of course it was Kelly!

And the cyclist - Victoria Pendleton.

Oh, I've had a complete meltdown.

So, at the end of that wonderful opening round, Phil is on six,

Matt in front on seven.

Who would have thought, you're in front!

But anyway, it is Sports Action time now.

Matt, your team are going first.

Keep a close eye on all the stars you see.

Oh, he's got him.

Back into the attack.

Nobody within sight, nobody close.

It is gold for England in the women's road race.

That's fantastic!

Oh, you beauty! There's another one in the bag. Well done!

Kept on his feet brilliantly...

and scores superbly!

That was the action, now it's time for the puzzle, OK?

On the board is your crossword.

Each answer is the surname of one of the stars you saw.

You can choose to solve it in any order,

but you will only get one attempt per number.

-Did we get any?

-Hazlewood.

-Hazlewood-Root, that's the first image.

-Was that the bowler?

-Yeah.

-Was it?

-Yeah, the bowler, Hazlewood.

-Is he Australian?

-Australian, yeah.

-He bowled Root.

-So, does Hazlewood fit there?

That's a long name, isn't it? H-A-Z-L-E-W-O-O-D.

One short, there.

Stick an S on the back of it, it'll be fine.

Hazlewoods - were there a couple of them?

LAUGHTER No, Hazlewood.

OK, let's go with that one, then.

Netball, the one who scored was Jo Harten.

-Harten, so where would that go?

-That can fit in...

OK, two across, I think, we're going now.

-OK, two across, you're going...?

-Harten.

Yes, well done.

-Good stuff, good work.

-APPLAUSE

-H-A-Z-L-E-W-O-O-D.

-Yes.

Perfect. So you go with that one, four across.

Hazlewood.

Hazlewood, yes.

-Very good!

-APPLAUSE

-The one down is Lizzie Armitstead.

-OK.

Well done, yes, it is, so that's three points.

Er, have we got any others?

-Oh, McGinley!

-He was the golf...

-Three across, McGinley.

-OK.

-Yes.

-There it is, there it is!

-Correct.

APPLAUSE

-Cazorla...

-Six.

How do you spell that? Cazorla?

-Listen, we don't need to spell it, do we? It's...

-No.

-Cazorla.

-For which one?

-Five down.

Cazorla.

-Cazorla.

-Cazorla!

Gives us an L for the tennis player.

-I know Djokovic is playing, but...

-Oh, could be!

-I'd just say that.

-Could be! And it fits.

-I know.

-Great shout!

-Shall we do it?

-Great shout!

I think you've worked it out.

Cilic? Is that how you say it, "sil-itch"?

Yeah, Cilic - is it?

-Yes!

-Well done. Very good!

Well done, full marks. Excellent! OK, Tuffers, your team to go now.

-Come on.

-Remember, make a note of everyone you see.

He's going to barrel his way up and over the line.

The number eight reaches out that giant left paw.

Maybe not... Maybe not. Maybe not at all!

The glorious winner of the British Grand Prix

and you can see how popular his victory is.

He's a lovely chap and he richly, richly deserves it.

There was nothing unlucky about that clearance.

That was a fabulous century break.

And now up to the line,

while the nation expected, Great Britain delivered!

Olympic champions at long, long last.

Brown across to provide defensive cover...

It's 3-0!

-Agbon... How do you spell that?

-Agbonlahor.

-Agbonlahor?

-Let's just look for the biggest one.

-Yes!

-OK, here is your crossword.

This isn't going to be the coffee break, is it,

the quick crossword, this one? Erm, Agbonlahor.

-We've got to pick them all?

-Yeah. Oh, I know who that was!

I think the rower was Grainger. Is it Grainger? Grainger...

It could be Grainger.

Right, OK, right. Here we go.

-Now, don't rush things. Think about it, OK?

-Take your time.

-We've got Herbert.

-We've got Herbert.

-We've got Spieth.

-We've got Picamoles, we've got Grainger.

-Picamoles?

Yeah, Louis Picamoles was the number eight who scored.

-Cor, they all look... Where do we put them all?

-In there!

-Yeah!

Right, how do you spell Picamoles?

I don't know, I'm dyslexic.

-And I'm French dyslexic even worse.

-French dyslexic!

How do you spell Agbonlahor? Let's get a little one. Spieth. S-P...

-Is it I?

-Doesn't matter, does it?

-It doesn't really matter.

-Six for him, isn't it?

-So not that one, not that one.

-So it's number six, is it?

-You reckon that's six across?

-Spieth, erm, six across.

-OK.

-Got to be.

-Well done.

-Right, OK.

-So, Herbert must be four across. H-E-R-B...

-E-R-T.

-Shall we just do that?

-Yeah.

Yeah, cos it might give us some more letters to play with.

Four across, Johnny Herbert.

Well done, yes, you were right.

-So...

-That goes down the way.

-P-I-C-A...

-Yeah. Oh, yes.

-And Agbonlahor across.

-Yes, good work. One down, Picamoles.

Two across, Agbonlahor. So, which one shall we go first?

-Just to make sure.

-Agbonlahor.

-Agbonlahor.

-Is...?

-Is, erm...

Two across.

-Yes!

-Yes, well done.

-Picamoles is one down.

-Your boy...?

-Louis Picamoles.

-Yes.

Picamoles...

Yes!

That's Grainger and then what's that one?

-Grainger, so what was...

-Three down, are you going three down, then?

Yeah, Grainger, three down.

Yes!

-What was the other sport?

-A golfer.

-No, we've had the golfer.

-Oh, yeah.

What was the other sport?

What was the other sport?

We've had a rugby player.

-We've had a footballer, we've had the rower...

-Yeah.

We've had the cricketer... No, no cricketer.

-We had motor racing, we had the golf.

-Was it cricket?

-No, there wasn't a cricketer in there.

-What was the other sport?

-Name some... Go on.

-Oh, I know what it was! Oh, I've got it!

It was snooker, it was snooker!

CHEERING

I couldn't think what the sport was. Trump, T-R-U-M-P. Judd Trump.

Is the right answer!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Full marks, but there's still one in it.

Phil's on 12, Matt in front on 13.

Choice of Home Or Away now. Tino, coming to you first.

Home question or Away?

-Home question.

-Come on, Tino.

Which Bajan fast bowler made his Test debut in 2003

and, five years later, took his 100th Test wicket

in Napier against New Zealand?

-Mind the windows, Tino.

-Happy, yeah?

-Fidel Edwards.

Is the right answer, well done!

Kevin, Home or Away?

-I'm going to go Home.

-Take your time.

Who scored in a Champions League semi-final in 2015

against Real Madrid, having won the trophy with them the year before?

So what was the semi-finals, Juve?

-Erm, who beat... Juve beat...

-Bayern.

No, Bayern then they got beat by Barcelona.

Barcelona, and then it was Juve-Real

so who's gone from Real Madrid to Juventus and scored?

Tevez scored, didn't he?

-He wasn't at Real Madrid, though, was he?

-No. They beat them 2-1.

A centre forward, M...

Oh, I don't want to say Moreno, it's not him.

Take your time.

I'll go Moreno.

You know who it is, but it's not quite right.

-It's Morata.

-Morata!

-Alvaro Morata, but you knew who it was.

-That's who he meant.

-Yes, I know! Absolutely.

-Tamsin, over to you - Home Or Away?

-Er, Home, please.

Who top-scored with 670 goals last season to help her side

-finish third in the Netball Superleague?

-That's a LOT, isn't it?

-She's a big girl, tall, very tall. Close to the net.

-That is a lot.

-Yeah. I think...

-Literally, it's just like plonking it in.

Yeah, pretty much. It makes it easier.

Well, I think it's Lottysha Cato.

It is, yes, well done.

-Scotty.

-Shall we go Away?

-Do you fancy Away?

-Well, three points.

-Is it three points?

-Three points, yeah.

We'll go Away and get cricket... and then we're stuffed.

-Donaldson, Dubuisson...

-And it's Warren. Is that a Scottish name?

-I don't know.

-Warren?

-No.

-Not really?

-It rhymes with "sporran" so it could be Warren.

You may as well!

-Warren, I think it's...

-Warren.

Er, two out of three.

The two you got right - Jamie Donaldson, Victor Dubuisson.

Do you know the other one?

There was a pretty good chance you could have got this, Phil,

if you'd just looked to your right-hand side

and looked at your team-mate and just said his name out loud.

-Gallacher.

-There you go, there's your answer.

-Kirsty?

-Warren!

-Gallacher...

-Where does Warren come from?

Warren is a Scottish golfer, though.

Yeah, I know, but he hadn't played in the Ryder Cup.

No, and Stephen Gallacher did have a bit of a torrid time

and wore a white hat, but his name is Gallacher, not Warren.

-Stephen Gallacher.

-We got two.

-We got two, that's good.

You got two points and Matt gets a bonus point.

Next, captains, we need you up in the middle for this one.

-Matt, you are going first so up you come.

Alriggggght?

Whassup?
