A four-way tie for fourth place @Mi-Amigo ; shame we do not have penalty shoot-outs or a bowl-off at one stump ! 

Splendid quiz, thank you for organising and well done to everyone. 👍

Thank you @Oxonian 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award.

Rather than the results being "a four-way tie for fourth place", I prefer to see it as four each getting a Bronze Thinker; and as for a "penalty shoot out" this might also mean bringing on an Off Topic VAR 😂 , which I don`t think anyone wants 😁 .
