ok Trung...in 1997, what was the only English county cricket team, not to have a player in their team, with a surname beginning with 'W'?

Hopefully that'll "Stump" you!

The word 'khaki' came from India (don't ask me which dialect)....Hmmmm that's got me thinking. I must try and find out.

Let's try punjabi then. I think that was montly spoken around the areas inhabited in the times of the British raj.

GregS,
Found this on the google.com

============================================
Where do we get the word "khaki"?

The light-yellowish brown cloth, used generally for military uniforms, gets its name from the Persian word "khak," meaning "dust" or "ashes." The word "khaki" can be used to refer to the color, the cloth, or the garment made from the cloth.
