My turn to have some fun!

Two batsmen are each on 94 runs. Seven runs are needed to win, with just 2 balls to play. Both batsmen end up making 100 not out. How?

Now isnt that Sports & Entertainment all rolled into one???? Anandotasava03-03-2017


Ball 1:Batsman 1 taps it to the outfield, run three and the throw is wild and the overthrow goes for 4. 7 runs done. Match is won. The batsman is on 101. But wait, the umpire calls one short as one of the batsmen, while trying to complete a run, didnt put his bat across the crease in a hurry to go back for another run. So thats 6 runs made, but the strike is rotated and Batsman 1 still has a century to his name. 1 to win off 1 ball. Ball 2:Batsman 2 hits a six to finish off the game and get to his hundred.

The X was invented at Gallaudet University, an all deaf school, to prevent opposing teams from seeing their signs as they communicate with each other while playing American Football. The X became more widely used in cricket after the India national team used it to great success during the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The England team has imitated this technique with some success, notably in the 2005 Ashes series. What is X?Anandotasava03-03-2017

What tradition?An XY is an American sports tradition which began in the 80s when a New York Giants player performed it on his coach Bill Parcells because he was angry at the coach's treatment of him, but has now evolved to a celebration of victory. A baseball variation is to give a teammate who has just hit a walk-off home run, or a pitcher who has thrown a no hitter, an XY while they are giving a post game interview. Many teams do not use the X, but substitute it, for eg, with water.Anandotasava03-03-2017

"The outpouring of grief, wonder and shared devastation that followed X's death had the same breadth and intensity as the reaction to the killing of a world figure: some bold and popular politician, like John or Robert Kennedy, or a spiritual leader, like Martin Luther King Jr. But X was a creature of poetic political metaphor, and his spiritual consciousness was directed inward, as a way of nurturing and widening his creative force. That was what made the impact, and the difference the shock of his imagination, the penetrating and pervasive traces of his genius and it was the loss of all that, in so abrupt and awful a way, that was mourned last week, all over the world." - Jay Cocks, TIME, 22 December 1980 Whose X?Anandotasava03-03-2017

I found an arrogant young man, who didnt respect authority that much, but I did like that of him. He was not submissive, used to contradict me when he thought I was in the wrong. Finally I wanted to hear what he had to say and ended up listening to him more than the rest of my assistants.

Impressed by Ys work on positional play, X allowed Y to give tactical advice at half-time and to coach the team in friendlies.
