It was a true Captain Marvel innings. Mahela was the guy who had struggled to put bat to ball in the previous two editions of the world cup and now he seems to have struck gold. I think the Kiwis were overwhelmed by the emptiness of the stands and started spraying the ball all over. And 289 is a daunting score against the constrictors aka Sri Lankan bowlers sans Dilhara.
I can't fault an innocent bye-stander thinking that it was just another game and not THE semi-finals of the World Cup ! Aaargh...
Some of you wanted to know how the semi-final line-up guess was decided etc. I have provided the same above. It was simple; Each correct Team + correct Position combination gets 2 points and correct team + wrong position gets you 1 point. And hence Karri and Guru walked away with the booty.
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: Place 2 coins on each edge of the square and the remaining two coins on the edge of one of the two diagonals.
Anand Re, Guru, Aditya K, Laks, Sivasubs and Sharath answered the question correctly. An interesting representation of the same by Laks shown above. Good show guys.
Two more questions to go!
