Q Part:
Probably a tough question. Probably it was the nerves. Probably it was the Indo-Pak game that made people miss the question.
I will leave it open till Friday.
Go ahead and have a go at it. Actually easy, if I have to say. How many Yorkshire famous men do we really know? But there is a twist, I have to warn...

Whose voice is this?
I am sure you will enjoy the joke!.

Raghu's golden shirt worked. Apparently, he wore that shirt when blues defeated greens in 1999 WC game and he seems to be wearing that shirt only on such occasions when the two South Asians meet in the WC.
I have to say the shirt was attractive and still in good condition.
So was the Indian performance today. Good, solid and reminded of the earlier WC Ind-Pak games! 5/5 - an excellent grade, the teacher says!
In my mind, Sehwag should have been the man-of-the-match - well at least half-of-the-trophy :-) For the kind of impetus that he gave the innings and killed Umar Gul, it was a nerve-jingling stuff from the Nawab.

All the conspiracy theorists will start the swirls by looking askance at Sachin's drops, Pakistan's powerplay delay etc. But they will be well within their right to question Misbah's motives, for the kind of digital innings that the MBA graduate played. Block or Boom... only problem was that even after all the booms, his strike rate was only 60+. Mama mia!
Final between India and Sri Lanka.
You see, they haven't played each other for a looong time ;-) Yeah, right! Heard that Sanga can speak fluent Punjabi and MSD can speak spot-less Sinhalese.
Let us see which will be a fitting farewell - Murali's or Sachin's? I kind of prefer Sachin's - as he hasn't won the WC yet. But then, to borrow Harsha's words, cricket is not perfect as in life! Fingers crossed.

Side note: Sonia and Rahul Gandhi were amongst the masses - sufficiently insulated by the security - yet not inside the aircon room! And when India finally won it, Sonia did a pretty good X-man (X-woman?) impersonation that Shahid Afridi made into his own! And Amir Khan was there with that hideous fungus above the lips!
