Day #36: Hop, Stop and Jump!





I wanted to have the title of today's post as "A hat-trick of massacres!" But then that would have shown the truth - a thorough lack of imagination on my part. So the brain cells were exercised a bit more to come up with an equally lame title.


The truth was that. Bangladesh - like their sub-continent brethren were imitating the cat on a hot roof against a surprisingly accurate and hostile bowling from the Maroon army.


Earlier Sarwan showed glimpses of his form that he possessed about an year ago against India. Too little, too late.


Bangladesh can go home with the safe feeling that their houses will not be looted, vandalized and that their effigies will not be burnt - at least not this time. But the Banglas learn pretty fast from the big neighbour surrounding them, and you know that bad habits are easy to pickup ;-)

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 chillies or peppers. These hold some very important position on the Scoville scale for measuring how hot a chilly pepper is. It is pretty interesting reading the entire stuff from here.

Reasonably easy one. Anand Re, Guru, Muthiah, Sivasubs got it right. Sivasubs did some interesting studies on the individual chillies and provided the information; he was not happy that he had to google rather than ogle ;-) Carry on, Young man!

Today's question - an old favourite of mine:

  • What is the connection between the four guys and the funny looking graphs? (Refer to pictures at the top of the post)

Your answers via normal mode of communication. Keep them rolling in.

Until the next one...
