Tale of two matches: Thriller and Time-Filler!


Thank you, Younis and boys. You tried valiantly to make it possible. But then, you should have lost the first game against us - yeah, right! You did not have any right to thrash us like that last Saturday... Let bygones be bygones. We shall thrash the Aussies red, blue and green when they come to India. Oh, we have the Champions League in between to forget this ignominy.

And did you see that our bowlers bowled like men possessed today, with some juice in the wicket!! Wrong timing, wrong place!! Let us blame it on Cricket South Africa for having doctored the wickets against India.

On one side people have started to talk about Dhoni's honeymoon being over - if my memory serves right, he has been the Indian captain who has had the longest honeymoon; a honeymoon which was built on hardwork, initiative and sterling performances. So, for the doubters, here is my advice: Go Eat Grass.

The pool today has seen two new winners. KP and Laks. Lady luck smiled at last!

Semi Finals guesses and the results will be published tomorrow.

Now for the sans-Google trivia quiz:

I threw the gauntlet. Three people picked it up and came up winners.
The answer is DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory; a small
measure used to measure among other things Scotch Whiskey; and the 3-like
symbol is actually called Ezh which denotes one measure of Dram) You are free to google now for further information as I did not know Ezh either!

Congratulations to Bhuvana (woke me up in the middle of the night; only the better-half can commit such atrocities and demand credit for giving the right answer!), Anand Re & Ganesh TCS. The men attributed their answers to, what else, drinking! Drinking does help!

And the question of the day is:

A little bit of etymology. The following four words have something in common. What is it?
  • Admiral, Lime, Tamarind, Apricot
Keep them coming. Have fun.
