Day 19 - Coetzer's fort BANged!

The title of this post for about 55 overs today was 'Banged by Coetzer'. Then India's neighbours decided that I have to rewrite the title ;-) 

Bangladesh played as usual. Bad bowling; worse fielding. lot of slow bowlers; injury to players while fielding.

But their batting was a mini-revelation. Granted it was a small ground; flat wicket; the Scottish bowling was a true pop-gun attack (still wondering how NZ gifted those seven wickets to them! If you list the fastest bowlers in the match, then all Scot bowlers including the dibbly-dobblies, will come after Shakib Al Hasan!)

Yet, to hunt down 319 takes some nous. Tamim played a beautiful game. While he was cramping, the uncharitable amongst us did say, "Yes, he is not used to staying this long at the wicket ;-)!' Yet, all their batters showed enough application and went through the chase professionally. Ominous signs for England on Monday.

G-Section:


Tomorrow is the rang-barse Holi game between the blues and the maroons. Sammy has fired the warning shot saying that while India plays Holi, Windies will play cricket - or some such trash. Bowl first; bounce'em out. Chase & win. Simple? You bet!





And since nobody expected BAN to do so well....





And I expect more active participation in the guess part tomorrow... :-)

Q-Section:

ManiacG will get a special point for getting the right answer before AngelAsh. An achievement in itself! Good show man! Oh, btw, he has the only right answer today!


The right answer is MERCAPTAN. It is that chemical that gives the pungent smell to the cooking gas world over. (Ha, remembered something from my 12th standard chemistry book! Thank You Sampath Sir!)

Dick King-Smith's primate = Mr Ape (incidentally he wrote the more famous Babe too)

Anagram it with 'cant' you get the name of the stinking gas.

Now for today's question. An easy one for 4 points. How is this equation right? Explanations as well please.
