Lankans 6-6-6ed!


Imagine what would have happened if:

Sri Lanka had won the toss or the temperature was 6 degrees
warmer or the lateral movement 6 inches lesser or the bounce 6 inches shorter or 6 of their batsmen played some sensible shots instead of getting out...
Instead what we have got is an English victory - well deserved though; but can't take the English press. They will now write about how:
* they will take revenge on Australia in the semis and on South Africa in the Finals. They will also write how great a captain is Strauss (Indeed he is, played to the true spirit of the game by recalling Matthews - and I think Matthews was pulling a fast one by claiming obstruction by Onions)
* how great a job that the selectors did by selecting Eoin Morgan inspite of him being Irish
* how great a bowler Anderson has become...
Aaaawwwww....

Murali bowled like a club bowler and Bhargav has been maintaining that Mendis is another Collingwood (Just look out for the carrom ball and you are safe!)

Now for the sans-Google trivia quiz:
Answer to yesterday's question:
The five letter word is Yahoo. (Swift = Jonathan Swift who wrote Gulliver's Travels with its many characters - one of them being Yahoos; of course Jerry Yang liked it to name his company thus!)

Less tougher than the MSG - Yet only Yadavalli & Suryanshu got it right. Good show, guys!

Now for today's question:

An easy one:
  • Steve Jobs wanted IPOD to stand for "Internet Pod"; but all those greedy bankers have made IPOD stand for....?
Answers & guesses via the usual route. Have fun.
