- 13:29:59: By the by, this is @venkatananth here, taking a break from listening to lavanis on loop with a quick cricket quiz. Go for it.
- 13:31:31: Q1: Three of the current Central Districts players featured in a tournament that the Champions League T20 is now based on. What tournament?
- 13:32:41: The three Central Districts cricketers in question: Bevan Griggs, Jamie How and Mathew Sinclair. Additionally, which were the 3 other teams?
- 13:35:21: Another hint: This is now replaced by the "Emerging Players Tournament" played between A teams of four countries.
- 13:36:50: Anybody? I see no answers.
- 13:37:51: Closing this question. The Champions Cup played in Australia in 2000-01 between Mumbai, Natal, CD and Western Aus. http://bit.ly/drdOC7
- 13:38:49: Q2: Easy one, this. Which Indian cricketer scored a run-a-ball unbeaten 23 to help his side beat Pakistan in an ODI? Easy one, like I said.
- 13:40:58: Okay. That game is known for one of Sourav Ganguly's early days as the "man with the golden arm" or whatever they called him.
- 13:42:26: Okay. One last and big hint. He was a Mumbai legend.
- 13:43:12: Answer time... Jatin Paranjpe. Scorecard is here. - http://es.pn/d9L0zM
- 13:45:17: Complete the following: Basnahira South, Basnahira North, Wayamba, ___________ and ___________.
- 13:47:32: @raagwasgood Fill in the blanks, mate.
- 13:48:37: Okay. @c_aashish and @kalpataru45 have cracked it. Ruhuna (South) and Kandurata (Central) provinces in Sri Lanka. @causticsarky - good.
- 13:48:58: @anannyadeb Absolutely. Vasu Paranjpe is Dadar Union legend as @sidvee put it.
- 13:51:06: Next up. I tweeted about this today. We have a Hawaii born cricketer who plays first-class cricket in New Zealand (Auckland). Who is he?
- 13:53:54: Righto. @MalhotraSaurabh gets it. It is Dusan Hakarala from Auckland. - http://es.pn/bRRD5R (born in Kahuku, Hawaii)
- 13:56:21: For fans of "Bhajji" or Plaha. What is the least number of runs Plaha/Harbhajan has conceded while picking a five-wicket haul? Not tough.
- 13:57:34: I mean in Test crickets, yeah. Nothing to do with ODIs or T20s
- 13:58:35: You want the answer, yeah?
- 13:59:16: @MalhotraSaurabh Wrong, buddy. :)
- 14:00:13: Answer is here. Only one person, aka @raagwasgood got it right. 5/13 off 4.3 overs vs the WI at Kingston. 2006.
- 14:01:33: Easy: Who was South Africa's wicketkeeper in the 1996 World Cup?
- 14:02:46: Okay. Not Richardson or Boucher. I have two correct answers now.
- 14:03:47: Q closed. Steve Palframan. @raagwasgood, @sidvee and @kalpataru45 get it. @sujaypadiyar gets it late.
- 14:05:20: 1996 WC again. This man was banned from playing cricket in his home country due to involvements in the rebel (cont) http://tl.gd/618vp0
- 14:06:42: @p1j If I ask tough questions, like I always do...not many can answer, mate. It's difficult.
- 14:07:05: Okay. One person has cracked it and you know who.
- 14:07:35: And no, he isn't from the West Indies.
- 14:09:46: Right. Answer time. Flavian Aponso, a guy who featured under Tony Opatha's SL Rebel Tour to South Africa in 1983. Played for Holland.
- 14:09:56: And like I said, @sidvee got it right. Both answers.
- 14:11:21: This South African cricketer (not Jonty Rhodes), one of the first Jews to play for his country, also turned up for Israel. Who?
- 14:12:54: Anyone? @p1j was asking for a few toughies. So, here they are.
- 14:13:52: Not Ali Bacher. But...think post-Apartheid.
- 14:15:15: Closed. @netcitizen and @YogeshMali get it. Adam Bacher it is. Played for Israel against India A (led by Jaydev Shah) in 2008.
- 14:16:00: Last two questions to follow...
- 14:17:00: Which cricketer has the unique distinction of being his country's cricket captain & also, a full-time football referee in a European League?
- 14:17:28: By that, I of course don't mean Europa Liga or UEFA Champions League. This is the "Premier League" of a particular nation. Who?
- 14:18:57: Okay. This guy referees in the Scottish Premier League. Now tell me who?
- 14:20:51: Answer is George Salmond. The guy who led Scotland in the 1999 WC, and post-retirement is a referee in the Scottish Premier League.
- 14:21:22: Last question, indeed. Easy one. Crack it. Who is the President of Nagaur District Association?
- 14:22:50: Okay. I have a consensus on this question. I am sure most of us love him. Lalit Kumar Modi...who was re-elected Prez of the association.
- 14:23:30: Hope you did enjoy the quiz. Will have a planned one soon. #domesticcricketedition.
- 14:24:11: Until then, I sign off and get back to Apsara Aali and all those. Till then, @venkatananth saying good night, take care, sleep well.
