LOL @ Adrian again and Bendi, u did good, some of them are correct, but I dont want to reveal the results quite yet, maybe in a few posts, but u did good, some r bang on and some r partially correct (like half points) thanx for being honest and NOT google-ing everything, that's wat squash is all about at the end of the day, character n honesty i.e: fair play. Oh and I've been playing for 2 n a half years myself so no worries about that
