Day 17: Kenya Canned!

The Canadians played a nice game. Bagai and Hansra showed their Assoc Class well and one wished that they had showed the same form/patience a few days ago. But then Ngoche is not Ajmal and Obuya is not Afridi :-}

I don't want to add to the cliches by saying that this win will do a world of good to the Canadians.

Anyway, this is as good as a game between Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea - except that this is the World Cup.

How will the people write bulletins for such an inconsequential game. Somehow, cricket seems to be throwing up so many of these inconseqs! Son says that it is the same in case of soccer as well. He quotes the entire 'S League' as case in point ;-)

Did you watch the Gunasekara dismissal? If not read about it... (Courtesy: Cricinfo)

11.1 87.2 kph, This is Bizarroworld. Ruvindu might be out stumped. Shambles from Ruvindu. Shambles from Ouma. Shambles all round. Stupidity, says Ian Chappell. It slips down the leg side. Ruvindu misses the flick. And looks back. He can't see the ball. He thinks it has trickled away to fine leg. Ouma, cunningly, hid the ball in his left glove. Once Ruvindu strayed out of the crease, Ouma looked to flick the bails off. And missed! He then flicked again. This time he hits the stumps. Ruvindu is still not in! Haven't seen something so bizarre from a batsmen since Inzamam tumbled onto his stumps, attempting to sweep Panesar. 48/3

The funny thing is Ruvindu was clearly attempting a run. Therefore, he can't be out stumped. He should have been declared "Run out". But then...

And those terrific (terrible?) Kenyan sun-glasses.....eeeeks....

Q Part:

The three boys are - as Raghav, Aditya and Yuva (2/3 right)  said - Shahrukh Khan, Barack Obama and Stevan Gerrard. Strange, but understandable, many thought that they are cricketers :-)

Here is the next easy one in line.

Now for old men. Who do these half-faces belong to?

B Part:

Nobody except three took my bait for the clash of the associates.
