    Name X, Y and Z
    14
    In cricket, X music is a term for a bowling strategy where
    bouncers are aimed at the batsman's throat.
    Rising rapidly off the pitch, the ball is difficult to play unless the
    batsman has quick footwork. If fended rather than avoided, it
    may yield a ballooned return catch to the bowler or to close-in
    fielders.
    This is a difficult ball to bowl, since a few inches on either side
    would present the batsman with a short ball that can be easily
    put away on either side of the pitch.
    It is also the finishing move of Shawn Michaels who calls it
    “Sweet X Music”.
    X please?

    A reporter once asked a Pakistani Cricketer


    whether a certain “Change” led to his batting

    He replied: “I haven’t changed my way of
    playing, or the way of my game, just the way
    of my life.”
    Who and what change?

    ICC World Cup 2015 Final:
    Warne, Dravid & Nasser Hussain during commentary were
    discussing England’s early exit from the Tournament.
    NH: “I am pretty sure England will do pretty well in 2019 WC Warnie”
    SW: “Why do you think so Nasser?”
    NH: “2011 WC Hosted by India & SL & final was between them.
    2015 WC hosted by Aus & NZ & the final is between them. So since
    the 2019 WC is being hosted by the British Islands, guess what's
    the final gonna be?”
    Sarcastically, Rahul Dravid replied to his Question “X vs Y, Nasser”.
    What was X & Y according to Dravid?
    18
    X was a keen cricketer, he played 10 first-class matches for the
    Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He also played for the amateur
    cricket team the Allahakbarries alongside authors J. M. Barrie and A.
    A. Milne. He was an occasional bowler and took just one first-class
    wicket and that too of the greatest English batsman of the era . X
    was knighted in the year 1902.
    William Y was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for
    Derbyshire and MCC between 1873 and 1886. Y is also said to have
    umpired in the first non-first class game featuring X. X had a respect
    for Y and considered him as a brotherly figure. And hence, in some
    sense later made ‘popular’ association with Y.

    •Id X & Y.
    19
    Which country’s cricket team?
    20
    ID the hidden name.
    21

    Identify X.

    X was born on 31st May, 1946 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. He was the
    part of the game in 128 Test matches & also in 181 One Day
    Internationals. X, before being involved in cricket, was a football player,
    a high school mathematics teacher and a sports coach. He was also
    seen on the field in a Football World Cup Qualifier Match. He also
    played as a goalkeeper in Jamaican parish leagues in the 1960s.
    Nicknamed ‘Slow Death’, X was awarded the Order of Jamaica,
    Commander Class, for “outstanding services in the field of sports”.
    22
    “He took the lift whereas I took the staircase” said X
    X reached the 1000 run milestone in test cricket in only 14 innings
    which is still the national record of least number of innings to reach
    1000 runs in Tests. In his short batting career that lasted only 21
    innings, X averaged 54.20. X is the first person of his country to
    score two Test double-centuries in a row against two different
    opponents.
    X’s poor shot selection, inability to change or develop his style,
    coupled with the lack of mental focus required to Test cricket, led
    to his downfall.
    Id X.

    _______ ______ ______ ________ (6,4,3,6) is a


    phrase that commentators sometimes use to describe
    when the Batsman takes a few steps down the batting
    crease going towards the bowler and plays a shot.
    Australian Batsman Matthew Hayden was considered
    master of this art.

    FITB.
    24
    __________ ___ ____________(8,2,11) is a phrase used to describe an area
    on the cricket pitch: A narrow line on and just outside a batsman's off stump.
    It was coined by Geoffrey Boycott and is derived from the opinion that this is
    the area in which a batsman struggles most to determine whether to play
    forward or back, or whether to leave the delivery.
    If a batsman leaves the ball, there's a chance the ball will turn inward and
    either bowl him or hit him with an increased chance of leg before wicket. If a
    batsman plays the ball, there's a chance the ball will go to the outside
    instead, leading to an outside edge that can be easily caught.

    In football, it is commonly used to describe an area where a cross or pass


    in front of the goalkeeper and behind the last line of defence.
    FITB.

    Ramnaresh Sarwan played the ball to square-leg and ran for a single. When he
    ran past the bowler X, to the surprise of many, X asked: “What does Brian
    Lara’s dick taste like?”
    This was rather odd, coming from X. But, he did ask Sarwan the question;
    and Sarwan responded: “I don’t know. Ask your wife.”
    Under normal circumstances, X would have accepted that he’d asked for it.
    While a little voice pleaded for him to ignore it, something just wouldn’t allow
    him to let the slur go unchallenged. X’s fingers were pointed at Sarwan, and the
    words that came out of his mouth were not exactly the kind you’d associate with
    the legend.
    “If you f**king mention my wife again, I’ll f**king rip your f**king throat out.”
    Id X.

    There are total 11 ways in which a Batsman


    can get out in a Cricket match.
    In International Cricket, no Batsman has ever
    got out in 2 of the 11 ways of dismissal.

    Name both the ways of Dismissal.


    27

    The worst batting average for anyone (more than ten


    innings in Tests) is a shameful 2.00, held by a Zimbabwean
    medium-pacer.
    He scored 34 runs in 25 innings all told, with a highest of 8.
    There was an instance when he was promoted up the order to
    No. 10, during which he survived for over half an hour before
    getting out for naught.
    Identify this cricketer, who for some reason still appears
    during cricket matches.
    28

    The great Indian bowler Bapu Nadkarni, in the


    first Test against England in Madras in 1963-
    64, bowled 21 consecutive maiden overs.
    But he does not hold the record for the most
    number of consecutive dot balls – it is held by
    African offspinner Hugh Tayfield.
    How is this possible?
    29

    Andy Lloyd, opening the batting against West Indies on his


    home ground, at Edgbaston in June 1984, and had weathered
    the first half hour of the innings when he was hit on the
    earpiece of his helmet by a short ball from Malcolm Marshall.
    Lloyd spent the next ten days in hospital, suffering from
    blurred vision: although he made a county comeback, his
    eyesight was never quite the same again and he never
    played another Test.
    What unique distinction does he hold?
    30

    After being bowled by Courtney Walsh in a Test in Georgetown in


    1990-91, Australia's Dean Jones mournfully set off for the pavilion,
    which was back behind the bowler. But it was a no-ball, so he wasn't
    out.
    Carl Hooper darted up from slip and removed the bails before Jones
    realised and could regain his crease, and he was given out.
    The Australian coach, Bobby Simpson was furious with the umpires
    and even brandished a copy of the Wisden but to no avail.
    Why was the runout unlawful?
    MEGA QUESTION (10
    POINTS)
    In a Duleep Trophy match in 1982, A dismissed B in a certain fashion. A
    was selected for the Indian team next month. It is said that the dismissal
    of B was responsible for the selection.
    D replaced A from the top of a list a few years later.
    23 years after the first incident, C dismissed D in the Challengers
    tournament in a way similar to the 1982 incident. C was fast tracked to
    the Indian team in the same season. He took the place between D and A
    in the list.
    Who are A, B, C & D? What list? How were the batsmen dismissed
    that attracted attention?
