Every ICC event turns out a dud. This time it is the West Indies 'B' team. How can you explain the ICC spending millions on all kinds of countries including Zimbabwe and turn a blind eye towards two-times World Champions and former Champions Trophy winner!! Oh, that is their internal problem and we do not want to influence that... fat chance that cricket will survive in the Windies &*^(*&)($%#
Well! Paksitan tried its level best to make life interesting; but even they could not manage to lose it...
Yet another sibling combination to the cricketing world. Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal. They look so much alike that at 1 in the morning when 'chotu' Akmal walked in to bat after born-again-Yousuf was unfairly given out, I was pretty much sure that the elder brother Kamran walked in to play his second innings. One's mind was riddled by questions like, "Has Sachin's proposal been accepted? I know that Sachin is God in cricketing matters; but even God has His limitations in moving the behemoth aka ICC. etc etc.." But then better sense prevailed after they showed Umar's stats card.
One thing is for sure: Whether Lahore has good dentists or not, the one that the Akmals visit must be an awfully incompetent one :-))
Did you know that before today, Tonge has taken a grand total of ZERO wickets in ODIs? And today, he opened them up with an honest list of four. And for the wicketkeeper Walton, a good harvest in his debut match.
The pool participation has increased. Good. Good.
A number of you got it right.
Answers & guesses via the usual route. Have fun.
PS: Oh, by the way, this is my 100th English blog entry. My humble contribution to the World's boredom :-) Thanks for all the patronage.

On that basis Anand Re starts the account - funny he finished on a winning note on WC07 pool... luck runs even after 2.5 years :-)
Now for the sans-Google trivia quiz:
Answer to yesterday's question:
- The logo belongs to United Nations Organization (and not UNICEF as some of the friends wanted us to believe!) .
Seems to be an easy one - Amar, Polap, Anand Re, Chets, Ishan, Pradeip, Yadavalli (he was feeling bad that he had an undue advantage due to his multiple visits to Geneva :-()) Congratulations to all.
Now for today's question:
- To which well-known substance does this molecular formula belong to?
Answers & guesses via the usual route. Have fun.
