Day 2 - 300 psi does it!



(c) Roger Federer timeline

Phew. 

Pakistan handled the pressure much better... in the warm-up game against England. 

However the pressure of 300 on the board in the #matchthatmatters #matchofcwc15 #nothingelsematters got to them finally. (fyi: standard atmospheric pressure is about 15 psi

Oh, don't start me on the Umar Akmal dismissal; the ball's seam position changed as it crossed the bat. Ergo definite nick.

Now we have even converted Federer to love cricket ;-) And please stop quoting that tennis score line and of course, I will get mad if you say anything about crackers ;-)

On the other side of the pond, Zimbabwe held the cards for 50% of both the innings; but imploded so badly that it was a bit too much to catch up in the end.

Ervine's catch to dismiss ABdV is so far the catch of the tournament. Just beat Steven Smith's flyer to dismiss Buttler yesterday.

G-Section:

Bob got in today and harvested a good amount of credits in both the games. Beginner's luck? Perhaps!

Tomorrow's game is:

                                             Ireland vs West Indies @ Nelson 05:30 SGT

West Indies is ripe for the picking in my opinion as shown by Scotland in the warm-up. Let us see.

Q-Section:

I thought that the question was a tough one. Then life throws Gurus at you. In ten minutes, I get the correct answer. Followed by Raghav. Then Shanky and Bob took some help (so one point less for them) to come up with the right answer, which is....Net Ball.

You had CSK; you had DADA; you had 2W and you had 4G. Jumbling them up, you get the playing positions of Net Ball. Google them up!

For today's question: 

Another pictorial.

These eight seemingly disparate things will join together to take you on a musical journey. Explain.
