MSD likes Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde I think. And he also likes to script it differently I think. So he decided to unleash Mr Hyde during the tri-series and firstly lull England into false sense of achievement and all others (except Australia of course!) to feel that India is a spent-force. And now the doctor is out - surgically cutting two key opponents to pieces!
Pop-gun attack, tooth-less attack, prodigal bowlers, spinners-can't-spin, pacers-can't-bowl-fast - those were some of the civilized criticisms on the Indian attack. Guess what? For the second time in a row, the Indian attack has scored remarkably well - at times more than the famed batting line-up.
No, SA did not choke. They just showed that they are over-reliant on ABdV and Faf. India matched SA dive-for-dive, save-for-save, run-out-for-run-out. And did not match them on the drops and the mis-fields. Guys, one simple request. Don't peak too fast and too early pliss!
Dhawan said that he cleaned his swimming pool during the tri-series break. It seems all teams are sending their out-of-formers to clean swimming pools in the various ANZ cities now!
Meanwhile at Dunedin, Mahela managed that elusive century to shut Afghan leopards out. Not before the Lankans were shown the devil's face more than once during the second half of the game.
And I am counting... for the third day in a row, a game between the super-8s ended in an one-sided manner and guess what? a game involving an associate went almost full distance. Haiyo ICC!
G-Section:

Q-Section:
As usual, AngelAsh, Raghav & Guru got the right answer. Then Peruri came in with the right answer too. There were some interesting responses too. Bob's took the cake. (Poor him, blame it on Russell Peters!)
Looked hard at it. I thought it could mean that this is the spot where bags are loaded, or the spot where the ladies coach stops. It also looks like a hand with a cuff touching something...
My final answer: Committing suicide on the tracks is prohibited.
Then he asked for changing his 'final' answer. On my consent he came up with the following: Genius!
Ok that's the spot where lanterns are hung at night - to let the train know that it's the end of the line!
But the real answer is:
The sign-board indicates the token exchange at railway tracks - A sign signalling the exchange of token required to pass a particular section of the track - typically single section track. The most common one is called Neale's Ball Token exchange. Those railway engineers 150 years ago were really ingenious, weren't they?
Now for today's question:
Sana told me, "These five can kill you!" How so? [5 points]
