That night, a trivia quiz was hosted by team doctor Peter Brukner, but it was Hughes who made the team laugh and forget their troubles. Hughes, paired with Clarke, was ribbed by teammates for being a bit of a hayseed: they said he knew a lot about cricket and cattle but not much else. His spelling, even for a sportsman, was atrocious. Hughes replied that he might not be very academic but he was "street smart". This only got more laughs. Whatever. Hughes slayed them, and was trivia king for a day, having yet again taken gleeful revenge on those who underestimated him.
