Day 16: Tale of a choke and a half!

An official announcement from Cricket South Africa:

And India did what was expected of it. Make heavy weather of a simple chase. Dhoni tried something reasonable. But his batsmen decided to sleep-walk through the chase :-(
One thing is for certain. Get Ashwin for the next two games at least. Chawla somehow seems to have lost his zing.

Oh, the Irish are definitely the best Assoc side on sight. Get them and the Afghans into the 2015 tourney. The rest of the Assocs can...


Q Part:

Yes, it was a grunt question, indeed.
But a number of people did sweat through the Sunday to get the right answer for the code that was in Braille:

BQ Cricket World Cup 2011 is fun!

(A little bit of self-promotion :-)) Of course, the capitalization and the exclamation are important...)

Aditya, Raghav, Reddy, Guru , Raghavendra (0.5 point) and Ganesh K ( I was humbled. We think our lives are difficult.)  got the right answer. 

Now for the next one.

Who are these three boys? You know them, all right.

B Part:

And the status after the chokers today is:
