I did know it already, I compile quizzes and have used it a few times, amazing how many get it wrong and STILL argue the point, lol!!

Strictly speaking it should read 'bowled out' first ball, as in some circumstances (such as being caught out) the batsmen can cross before the giving-out, making the sequence different.
