- 14:25:34: Hey all. Since this is a cricket day at kweezzz, anyone up for an anecdotal cricket quiz? No points. Total fun. Say 'aiga'
- 14:26:08: Your host for the anecdotal quiz will be @sidvee
- 14:30:26: Wonderful. Some (if not all) these questions are stories spread through word of mouth. So don't ask me for sources instantly
- 14:32:28: Warm up: Why was Rameshchandra Gangaram Nadkarni nicknamed Bapu?
- 14:35:47: Haha. OK. Some innovative answers. Nadkarni got the nickname after his habit of wearing a langori in the dressing-room.
- 14:36:46: I meant Langoti. And no points in this quiz. All fun
- 14:37:44: I don't know how many questions. Making them up (no pun intended) as I go along
- 14:38:38: 1987. India v Pakistan. Bangalore Test. In the second innings, Imran Khan kept shuffling the close in fielders with several youngsters. Why?
- 14:42:22: Some awesome answers again. Imran wanted all the youngsters to see Gavaskar's technique against spin up close. Whadaman!
- 14:44:58: That was, of course, SMG's final knock. And Imran considers it the finest he's ever seen.
- 14:45:17: Q2: It has often been said that Naren Tamhane (former India wicketkeeper) made the 'most important' decision in Indian cricket. What?
- 14:48:37: Ans: In 1989 the selectors were in a quandary over a 16 year old. Tamhane (a selector then) settled it with: Gentleman, Sachin never fails
- 14:50:58: Tamhane, as we all know, pwned Octopus Paul big time
- 14:54:25: Don't kill me after this. The Tamil Nadu cricketer C Ganapathy has a peculiar nickname. What is it and why is he called that?
- 14:58:02: OK. Will give you the nickname. Tell me why the Tamil Nadu cricketer C Ganapathy is nicknamed 'Telling'. Yes, I mean 'Telling'
- 15:00:22: RT @cheese_charmer: @kweezzz whenever someone says 'speaking' when on a call he responds with 'telling' #lame
- 15:02:12: Ans: Everytime The Hindu newspaper mentioned him they said 'A telling spell by C Ganapathy'. So his team-mates ribbed him with that.
- 15:02:45: And I must admit 'A telling spell' is a proper Hindu trademark. Will find it in several reports
- 15:04:17: Credit for the previous question to my good friend S Ram Mahesh (one of The Hindu's cricket writers)
- 15:05:51: Immortal lines that changed cricket history. "Mr ____, you will leave this country in a few days. My family lives here." Funda?
- 15:09:49: Ans: Umpire Douglas Sang Hue to Bedi in the Sabina bloodbath in 1976. Lloyd had played 3 spinners in Trinidad and lost defending 406 (contd)
- 15:11:33: WI had 4 fast bowlers for the first time. Sent 2 batsmen to hospital. Sang Hue didn't issue a warning. WI said bye bye to spin. History
- 15:12:43: A cricketer who has played for West Indies is nicknamed 'bouncing'. Who and why the nickname?
- 15:14:59: OK. The cricketer is Sylvester Joseph. But why the nickname 'bouncing'. Be creative
- 15:17:16: Hehe. Tough one. Apparently he fell off a tree as a baby. And bounced twice. And everyone in Antigua will tell you this story fondly
- 15:19:51: OK. Should be easier. Which famous Indian cricketer was nicknamed 'What a baby' in Bombay circles. And why?
- 15:21:23: OK. The cricketer was Dilip Sardesai. Now tell me why he was called 'What a baby'.
- 15:23:19: RT @cheese_charmer: @kweezzz everytime he watched DDLJ he cried.
- 15:24:39: Ans: When he was an administrator, selector etc his first response to everyone was 'Whatever it may be'. Which he pronounced whatababy
- 15:26:52: I've asked the next question in a quiz before. But I think it's a great story that needs to be told. So here goes
- 15:28:14: Q: http://kweezzz.com/txt/127
- 15:30:17: Clooose but not quite RT @gauravsabnis @kweezzz Shivaji Park vs Hindu Gymkhana rivalry?
- 15:33:25: OK. So @gauravsabis has got the Dadar Union v Shivaji Park angle but it's not the rivalry that I'm looking for. Something more
- 15:34:25: RT @nayakgirin: @kweezzz Something like this? http://twitpic.com/35dxz3
- 15:35:14: Closing the question. I heard this sensational story from Sandeep Patil once. Here goes the ans: http://www.kweezzz.com/txt/128
- 15:38:20: Of course there is nothing to prove this story. Several exceptions etc. But I thought it was a good yarn.
- 15:38:49: And with that I end this short anecdote quiz. I promise to be back with more. Several more stories in the vault. Adios, amigos
- 15:40:30: Check out our calendar here: http://bit.ly/9ol7wX. Like our FB page: http://on.fb.me/9hhT8n. Also visit kweezzz.com
