[English assassin]

One of those "blimey I never knew that" questions:

Cricket

OK, that was fairly guessable. But which nations were playing?

USA vs Canada

Altogether now, "blimey I never knew that"

And as a follow up: What is the longest unbroken run of victories in an international sporting event (event, nation, and length of winning streak, hint, the nearest decade would do))?

Americas cup, USA 132 years

Oh yes, feel free to post other sports trivia questions, provioded they will make us say "blimey I never knew that"

Caledon (2001 population 50,595, est. 58,500 in 2006) is a town in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. In terms of land use, Caledon is somewhat urban, though it is primarily rural in nature. Many of Toronto's wealthiest citizens own large country estates in the area, among them many members of the Eaton Family, Norman Jewison and the inventors of the board game Trivial Pursuit. It consists of an amalgamation of a number of urban areas, villages, and hamlets; its major urban centre with typified surbuban housing mixed with old town charm is Bolton, located on its eastern side adjacent to York Region.

Caledon is one of three municipalities of Peel Region. The town is located north of the City of Brampton
