Sorry for the delay in coming back.

I want to ride my motorbike on the highest road in the world above sea level at 5600m on which I can take a motorised vehicle. Where do I need to go? (I'm happy to take either of the two towns that this road runs between in the couple of months a year when it's not snow season).

Khyber Pass

You're in the approximate part of the globe, but no, not Pakistan / Afghanistan. If the question is too tough, I'll drop some more clues.

[Dogwatcher]

in Nepal is it?

[rogernumber10]

It's actually on the Indian side of the border. Deemed as the highest 'motorable' road in the world because it can take motorbikes, small vehicles up to the higher town at more than 5km above sea level

This is obviously just way too hard a question. It's the road between Leh and Khardung La.

I'll try something different. Who was Shane Warne's second Test wicket?

Wickramasinghe

Wickramasinghe

Correct. Over to you. I promise to make my next question, if I get it again, more realistic.

OK another cricket one

who has scored the fastest double hundred in test cricket in terms of balls faced

[GWW]

Viv Richards??

[rogernumber10]

Nathan Astle

[godoubleblues]

Viv Richards??

nope, not even in the top 8

[godoubleblues]

Nathan Astle

yep, that took all of 2 minutes

153 balls is a fair effort, and against the poms as well
IIRC Gilly had the record and Astle knocked him off not too long after

[rogernumber10]

Yeah, he had a day out when the Kiwis were basically shot to bits in a test at Auckland I think (which is a toy ground)

I'll stick with cricket again.

Who faced the first ball bowled in a Test match on Tasmanian soil?
