Day #21: A chasm

Don't remember when I have last seen so many left-arm bowlers in a match. Two from New Zealand and four from Bangladesh. On second thoughts, the India-Bangladesh match had the same number of south-paws. Well there goes the useless stat. The match was very close to that... being just a stat and completely useless. Kiwis had a couple of injury scares and Bangladesh did not do themselves any favour with a (yet another?) loose display.

Oh, ye administrators! Think of a better way of killing the flash-in-the-pans. We have lost 12 potentially high-quality games because of the Indo-Pak harakiri. Actually it can be termed as 11; Ban v Ire can be a cracker - but does that qualify as a Super 8 game? Nah.

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: Paul McCartney wrote the song Hey Jude to comfort John Lennon's son Julian after Lennon and his first wife Cynthia Powell were divorced.

Reasonably difficult one! Again the current top-3 got it right. Guru (googled as he knows only desi music), Anand Re (doesn't know whether to call this tragic!), Ganesh TCS (his guitar teacher would have been proud with this answer, I believe). Rohit actually killed Cynthia (that could have been tragic)

Good try folks. Keep pounding at it. At this stage, Anand Re leads followed very closely by Guru and Ganesh TCS at joint second.

Today's question:

• Where in the human body can you find a hammer, an anvil and a stirrup? What are their Latin names? What is their speciality? (People with doctor friends/spouses/fiancees/fiances are not allowed to use that connection for this quesiton; Just joking, lah!)

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...
