The chaff has been separated from the grain - though I have to say that England is high on the chaff-o-meter; if England had had two full games, then life would have been interesting. Funny, Ireland seems to be complaining about D/L method - somebody: please tell them that D/L comes into picture only after five overs. Whining - a favourite British Isles pastime :-}
Group E: England, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa
Group F: Australia, India, Sri Lanka and West Indies
Afghanistan were first Stenyed, then
Interesting to note that India has to play its next two games at Barbados and even a normal bouncer on that wicket seems to be going above the head! I see a repeat of 2009 WC T20 for the Indians!
Get ready to send in your

- today's matches guesses.
Answer to BQ-1:
There is nothing wrong with that dismissal. It seems weird that a batsman has gotten out stumped and yet is marked as not having faced a ball.
Guru, Siva*, Yadavalli, Subra, Ishan got it right. Pollard was stumped off a wide. I have not given credit to those answers which said that he was out off a no-ball on three counts. (a) You can't be stumped off a no-ball (2) A no-ball is added to the batsman's balls-faced count and most important, (iii) if I were to commit that mistake on the field, then I will be quartered and strung high by all and sundry!
Good start to the quiz. Keep it up, fellas.
Now for BQ-2:
No erase that. I said that the grey cells will be exercised. Did I not?
In the grid shown below, each square is filled with number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 in such a way that no row, column or the two main diagonal lines contain the same number more than once. Find the value of x.
To usual place by usual time. Hafun!
PS1: By the way, I like Kabir Khan's dress code - In a suit and tie; a la Football manager. Refreshing!!
PS2: Have you heard of the expression "Behind the Eight Ball"?
