No, I don't want to pull that old cliche out.
You get whacked for 320+.
You lose your a wicket off the first ball.
You lose five with more than 200 to score.
You then have KO'B and all his pink hair!!
No, I don't want to pull that old cliche out.
Just goes on to prove that in Bangalore, you have to score at least 339 to win :-))
Now everybody and his aunt is saying that Bangalore pitch should be a bit more bowler-friendly. Go eat words, folks!!
Today is a green-lettered day for the Irish in particular and the associates in general.
And importantly, there was NO Irish luck involved here - having said that, England did drop about five catches; but that is par for the course anyways!!
My question of 'What next? An Irish victory tomorrow?' from yesterday's post was purely rhetorical and didn't think that I will do a Warnie on this ;-)
Well played, Ireland. You deserve all the records!!
Q Part:
The clue worked.
Murthy LN came back with the correct answer Katapayadi System.
More on the same here.
What I really liked was AdarshB's explanation for this and how he related the code to a seemingly pure devotional song which depicted the value of pi/10. Good show, young man!! His explanation at the end of this post.
Both Murthy LN and AdarshB get the full point for this question.
Now for an easy one.
Who is this?
*******
B Part:
The Irish victory killed many a pooler's life, I think. Not even the tie-breakers in our pool worked. No winners!!
Please note the timings for the double-header tomorrow.
Netherlands v South Africa by 11:25 hours SGT Thursday
Canada v Pakistan by 16:25 hours SGT Thursday
Answers and guesses to the usual place. (The usual place is my email address, which you can find in the this post!)
Have a great Guinness day!!

Oh, by the way, the old cliche that I could not repeat earlier is: The game ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!!!

AdarshB's explanation:
Here is an actual sutra of spiritual content, as well as secular mathematical significance.
gopi bhagya madhuvrata
sringiso dadhi sandhiga
khala jivita khatava
gala hala rasandara
sringiso dadhi sandhiga
khala jivita khatava
gala hala rasandara
While this verse is a type of petition to Krishna, when learning it one can also learn the value of pi/10 (i.e. the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter divided by 10) to 32 decimal places. It has a self-contained master-key for extending the evaluation to any number of decimal places.
The translation is as follows:
O Lord anointed with the yogurt of the milkmaids’ worship (Krishna), O savior of the fallen, O master of Shiva, please protect me.
At the same time, by application of the consonant code given above, this verse directly yields the decimal equivalent of pi divided by 10: pi/10 = 0.
