For almost 50% of the game, Zimbabwe was in it, well and truly. The way the Aussie batsmen played the spinners, it was as if they were throwing grenades and not a spherical object made of leather and jute. Hmmmm...
Tait and Lee served enough notice to all and sundry about the kind of liquid pace that they can generate even on the dead-as-a-dodo Motera pitch.
After all that nonsense, I love that Aussie colours - lemony yellow... hope they are not going to be the lemons of the tournament - not much hope there, actually!
BQ welcomes several new entrants to both sections. That is the spirit... keep it coming fellas.
B Part:
Not much to write home about. Everybody and his uncle got the margin right. That reminded me of the problem that I was having. Since all the recent tournaments when BQ ran were all T20, the run margins were relatively tighter. But in a 50-50 game, the run margins can be a bit wider. Old timers will remember that we used to have a margin-slot for every 50 runs. But then that is too wide. So, the new run margins are:
1-30
31-60
61-90
91+
Kindly stick to this new sets of run margins starting from the match on Tuesday.
All other margins remain the same.
Here is how the B portion stands after the ZIM drubbing.
Please send in your details for the next game asap.
England v Netherlands by 16:25 hours SGT Tuesday
Can the Oranje cause another upset similar to the WC - T20?
Q Part:
The third question did make life interesting for many.
Apart from the random answers such as 797, 7187 etc.
There was a 'nerdy' answer from Raghav; couldn't understand it. So reproducing his point as it is.
427 in octal number = 117 in hex. a dot represents 1 and line rep 5So going by that next col in hex = 7(16)5 = 805 in oct = 4005.
But Subra came into the Q portion for the first time and cracked it.
Here is his succint response. Good show, mate!
Answer is 3125.
It indicates 20s base numbering, with dot = unit, horzontal line = 5units and layers from bottom go upwards for each number place units bottom-most, next up is 20s, next up is 400s
Right Column = [ (400 x 7) + (20 x 16) + 5 ] = 3125
Left Column adds to 427 as = [ (400 x 1) + (20 x 1) + 7 ] = 427
Oh, by the way, that number system was used by the Mayans - yes, the same guys who predicted that the world ends in 2012! Yaaaawwwnnn...
Now here is the next one.
Drumrolls pleazzzz...
An simple half-volley outside the off-stump. Let us see whether you are a tail-ender or an opening batsman...
