Wanderers! Here we come...


New Zealand worked hard to make the game exciting but again the English had worked doubly hard to lose the game. The conspiracy mongers will be busy saying that the English lost to the Kiwis only to prevent Sri Lanka from entering the semis... But no such doubt for the Super Sep 30th... A special mention and appreciation to Vettori for recalling Collingwood - after the overgate saga today.
Dhoni has said that Team India will cheer Pakistan until the toss for its game against the Windies. True spirit of the game - t-in-c ;-)) While everybody is busy calculating the run-rate differences etc., one thing to remember: The current edition of the Wanderers square is very much akin to the other extreme of an Indian dust bowl. Under those conditions, I will not be surprised, if the first innings score struggles hard to cross 200! If only India had played its earlier matches in Wanderers than Centurion - at least the bowlers would have gained the false sense of security and we would be lampooning the batting failures :-))
And I got panned for two things yesterday.
1. Drag error on Excel for yesterday's details. Corrected - but do note that I did not bother to enter your other guesses as they are not relevant in the abandoned game. You can recheck yesterday's post again.
2. That the sans-Google quiz has become very easy!! Now, now! Yes, a number of them got Mexico right. To be precise: Ganesh TCS, Rohit, Amar, Suryanshu, Yadavalli, Guru and Anand Re are the seven. But still this number is less than the nine on Sudoku. Ok, I will throw the gauntlet with today's question. Let us see how many of you pick it up...
  • What links (a) a type of computer memory, (b) two-thirds of a teaspoon full of Scotch Whisky and (c) the picture/symbol/character below: (Clue: the picture is NOT denoting Three!)
Enjoy life and keep them flowing...
