All too familiar story. In a classic sinusoidal wave pattern that the West Indies form exhibits, they are currently moving towards the trough after the initial crest of beating Pakistan. I will not be surprised if they lose to one of the less fancied teams (that is an euphemistic expression for the minnows; forgive the weekend-political-correctness). In the end, they might go back on the upward motion against England in the last Super 8 game. But then it should be all over with Aus, SA, NZL and SL taking the four slots for SFs.
Did you notice the almost seven-foot-tall Oram bowls at around 110 kmph? You could feel the strain that he is going through to reduce the pace :-) Also, did you notice the knuckle ball that Bond has mastered? Another import from baseball.
Now for the Can-You-Do-It-Without-Googling Trivia...
(Just to show that there is life outside cricket, however small! No points; Pure quizzing!)
Answer to the previous question: 23 (Z=10, E=1, P=3, H=4, Y=4, R=1) A zephyr is a slight refreshing wind.

Reasonably easy one! 3Ms got it right. Madhuri, Malur and Muthiah. The funny thing that I notice nowadays is that more and more people are trying to crack these without googling. Hence there were a few 20s and 21s... Now I know why Gandhism worked. Good Show Guys.
Today's question - another easy one for TGIF:
- To which classical board game are these symbols associated with? O-O, O-O-O. And what do they refer to?
Keep the answers rolling into the usual mailing address. Three prizes at the end of the world cup for the best performers.
Until the next one...
P.S. I came across Zephyr when Harsha Bhogle - the rags-to-riches sports commentator from India - posed the same question to his co-commentators. Of course, he got blank stares - or should I say stony silences ? ;-)
