Look at that! Everybody guessed that SA will win by 151+. So much for the minnow upsets.What really got suppressed in all the bad news about Bob Woolmer was the Freddie incident(s?).
Having undertaken such night-long binges a few times in life, I can fully understand what was going through Freddie's mind when he took that sea-scooter into the ocean early in the morning. The hotel staff must have mistaken his condition for inebriatedness (is there such a word?). In reality Flintoff was just going into the sea to fish. You see, after having lost the match against the no-flighters, he must have figured out that at this rate England can't defeat Kenya as well and an early flight-back + early retirement was probably looming large. So our man must have decided that the next best thing to hurling a red cherry down the pitch is to hurl the nets into the sea to harvest fish. Smart man, Freddie. Alas! such noble intentions remained just that.
For the records SA and NZL thrashed Scotland and Kenya respectively.
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 yesterday's question: CREST
(Roman Hundred: C Others: REST; CREST; Ride to the top follows naturally)
There were a few CLIMBers. Better luck next time! Well done Guru and Anand Re for the right answer.
Today's question:
- For an old & easy one from the school days. Apparently there are only three words in English that end with the letters -eny. Larceny and Progeny are the two. Which is the third one?
[of course as one studied biology, Philogeny and Ontogeny also happened; but they don't qualify; Really try this without googling! The answer will be really fun.]
