Day 7 - Tale of Two Rusty Wins!

Related image

At various times yesterday, while flipping the channels, one was feeling like watching the above car bumbling along the pot-holes of Chennai roads. All four teams were making one's bones creak & sometimes, where the contractors were kind enough, the ride was smooth too!!

After the self-imposed vanvaas India came out and slayed some demons, the pitch, rustiness, a juicy Southampton pitch, an impressive Rabada-Morris combo... 

#RoHitMan capitalized on the goof-ups (How many more mis-fields and dropped catches are we going to see from South Africa!?) 

#KulCha is well-cooked on one side and so-so on the other side. Better than under-cooked!

At the Oval, the Kiwis did a sluggish clinical (that has a different meaning, Ross Taylor!) job of shutting out the Tigers with their own share of hiccups. With their interesting pace lineup and brave batting, they do look threatening in this tournament. But spin doesn't mean close-eyes-and-swing!!

Some really good clean-sweeps today. Hardy won the India game single-handedly while Adarsh and Pavan shared the spoils for the Kiwi win.

Answer to Question #3

Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia is the person. The first woman to have received a PhD in Philosophy from University of Padua. Yesterday was her 373rd birthday. As I wanted to google for something, her face popped up on the Google Doodle. Hence the question.

Adarsh, AngelAsh, Manikandan Ponnusamy, Hardy Jadeja and K Sivamani  managed to crack the question. Good show, folks!!

Next quiz question tomorrow.

Enjoy and have fun!
