I could understand that Sri Lanka did not want to face Australia at any cost in the semi-finals. With South Africa, England and West Indies fighting for the fourth spot, Sri Lanka worked nicely yesterday to almost ensure that they will end up second and more importantly Aussies will end up first. That explains why they hid their top bowlers. But the way the Sri Lankans started to bat, I was beginning to think that they did not want the Aussies to have a good look of their batsmen as well!
Reminded me very much of the Tamil saying:
ஓடு மீன் ஓட உறுமீன் வர வாடி இருக்குமாம் கொக்கு...
(roughly translated: a crane waiting at the river, preying on the fish, usually lets the smaller ones go and awaits for the big fish!)
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: All are Carnatic Music Raagas (Scales of music from the classical music form originating from South India)
Definitely one of the easier ones. Eight people got it right; the highest since the tourney started. Apart from the usual suspects such as Anand Re, Guru, Sivasubs, there were Aditya K (induction), Rohit (Phone a friend), Rambo (first to answer via SMS!), Muthiah (wants an automatic script to click on ads - not allowed!), Bhargav (years of Carnatic music learning has not gone waste!).
Today's question:
- Apart from purportedly taking care of our hygiene, what other important contribution have the FMCG giants Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Pepsodent et al made to us?
Your answers via normal mode of communication. Keep them rolling in.

Until the next one...
