Clockwise
• 17questions.
• Infinite bounce. 10 points
• Like the review system – you get maximum of 2 incorrect
pounces. So +10 for pounce, but in case of an incorrect pounce,
you lose 1 pounce.
• And in case you are pouncing, all parts of the answer must be
correct.
1.
• During Sobers’ record breaking 365 knock, he was batting on
360. Hanif Mohammad was introduced into the attack with the
hope that Sobers would lose concentration and give his wicket
away as a non-regular bowler was in operation.
• However the 2nd ball of the over, Sobers hit a boundary thereby
equalling Len Hutton’s record. In order to distract Sobers further,
Hanif tried something different for the rest of the over. The first 2
deliveries he did not concede any run, but of the final ball Sobers
got the coveted run of the final ball of the over.
• What had Hanif tried to do, in order to ensure Sobers does not
get the coveted single?
• He bowled left arm spin instead of right arm off spin that he was
bowling. This makes him the only bowler to bowl right arm and
left arm spin in the same over.
• The only other instance I can remember is Hashan Tillakaratne
bowling the final over in the 1996 world cup game against Kenya.
The result was beyond doubt and he bowled right arm off spin
and left arm in the same over.
2.
• New Zealand took on Zimbabwe in the 2nd test of their tour on
November 7th, 1992. The Zimbabwe cricket authorities wanted
to maximize revenues for November 8th, a Sunday and decided
to do something that had precedents in England, but never in
test matches. It is also something that has never happened again.
• What happened on November 8th?
• Interrupted a test match and played a One Day international. It
didn’t make much difference to Martin Crowe. He scored 140 on
day 1 of the test and then scored 94, the next day in a One Day
International.
3.
• The battle of Monte Cassino was a costly series of 4 assaults by the Allies
against the Winter Line held by Germans and Italians during WW2. The
intention was to reach Rome.
• The Americans attempted first and due to heavy casualties were replaced
by the New Zealand Corps. If British Author Fred Majdalany is to be
believed the codename that was to be given to the New Zealanders was
devised by a British staff officer, who typically did not know the difference
between New Zealanders and Australians.
• What was the code used by Allies to signal the troops to attack Cassino?
• Bradman will be batting tomorrow. – If they were going to attack.
• Bradman will not be batting tomorrow – If they weren’t going to
attack.
4.
• Two Aussie bowlers – X and Y.
• X came in as a replacement for Glenn McGrath for the 2nd test against New
Zealand in the 97 series. He took 7 wickets in his first test, including a career
best 5/39 in the second innings. However, he had a hard struggle to get into
even the New South Wales side that year. He broke his ankle bowling in his
first year for the Blues and found it difficult to recover. Played only 2 tests.
• Y took a hat-trick against Pakistan at the MCG in 1996-97, in his 3rd ODI and
got some excellent returns for NSW in the years which followed his first inter-
state appearance in 1994-95. From there, though, his performances tapered
away quickly, to the extent that he did not play at the international level and
lost his place in the NSW XI within 12 months.
• Identify both.
X – Simon Cook Y – Anthony Stuart
5.
• Wisden Cricketers of the Year award is an honour given to
cricketers that had a considerable “influence over the English
cricket summer”. Barring a few exceptions, Wisden almost always
awards this to 5 cricketers. In 2011, Wisden awarded it to only 4
players.
• Why?
• Due to his performances, Mohammed Amir
would have been the 5th awardee.
• Wisden in its edition just said – Awarded to
a Pakistani player but not listed as a result
of alleged match fixing.
• “If [the player in question] were exonerated,
then it would be possible to reconsider the
position. That is why I didn’t pick anyone
else instead. But as things stand, we don’t
feel we can choose. Its all very sad”, Scyld
Berry, the editor of Wisden.
6.
• “X will be missed. Missed by England for whom his standards of
professionalism and excellence were an example to all. I will miss
him too; his tenacity made him a pleasure to play with and
against.
• I will not miss his ___. X’s ___ - that dirty, smelly, grubby,
patched-up, stitched-up, upside-down-flower-pot-of-a-thing –
caused me more grief as an English captain than any Brian Lara
hundred or Shane Warne hat-trick.”

briefcase which contained his lunch – two bottles of claret, a
vine-root corkscrew, cheese, biscuits, a plate, cutlery and
underneath – Playfair. His first words to Y were, “Hello, welcome.
What do you give a woman who has everything?”
• “Encouragement”, Y replied.
• “No, Penicillin”, said X rather triumphantly.
• He then told Y, “I hear you like driving. Well, I like drinking. We
are going to get along well.”
• First meeting between X and Y. Identify both.
• John Arlott
• Bill Frindall
10.
• The story of what and who is the speaker?
• “I was working as a journalist at the Wolverhampton Express and Star,
and the librarian there suggested I wrote to the Hayward family, who
were from the town and well-known for helping ailing causes. So I
penned a letter to Jack's father Charles, but by all accounts it was
screwed up and thrown in the bin, because he wasn't interested in
sport. Luckily, his secretary fished it out and gave it to Jack! He knew
my name from reading my reports in the paper, and so he came to
sponsor two tours of the West Indies.”
• “I was staying in Sussex with Jack and his wife. After supper we started
having a little slurp of brandy, and as the level went down with the
bottle, Jack suddenly said, “Why don’t we have a _____ ___ __ ______
_______?”, and that he would pay for it. I put the idea to the governing
body, he sponsored the whole event, and it was as simple as that.”
Rachel Heyhoe-Flint
• Story of how the World Cup
of Women’s cricket started.

• Montague Druitt had played against MCC as a nippy opening bowler.
He travelled in the Western country in 1882 and 1883 with a team
called Incogniti. In early August 1888, he turned up for Bournemouth
against the visiting Parsees, the game in which Mehallasha Pavri took 6
wickets and helped them win by 6 wickets.
• But, at the end of the 1888 cricket season, things went bad for Druitt.
He lost his job as a school teacher and in early December drowned
himself in the Thames. His suicide note to his brother stated – “Since
Friday, I felt I was going to be mother and the best thing for me to do
was die.” His mother had been in the Manor House Lunatic Asylum.
The inquest was held and the conclusion was “Suicide whilst of an
unsound mind.”
• Events after his death led to major speculation. Why was the death of
an amateur cricketer news?
Jack The Ripper
• Montague Druitt was one of the suspects. Jack the Ripper was
active between August and November 1888 murdering at least 5
women. The murders ended either due to the death,
imprisonment or emigration of the killer.
• Assistant Chief Constable Sir Melville Macnaghten named Druitt
as a suspect in the case. In a private handwritten memorandum
dated February 23, 1894, Macnaghten highlighted the
coincidence between Druitt’s disappearance and death shortly
after the last of the five murders. He also claimed “From private
information I have little doubt that his own family suspected this
man of being the Whitechapel murderer; it was alleged that he
was sexually insane.”

• Stevens’ team batted first and made 37. Small’s team replied with 92,
75 of which were scored by Small. Stevens’ team in the second innings
somehow did better to score 102 and set a target of 48. Small batted
last in the innings and went in when 14 were needed and despite not
really being in control he managed to take his team to a 1 wicket win.
• A controversy arose as Stevens had managed to beat Small’s bat thrice
but was not able to secure his wicket. This was due to the existing law
at that time and this game forced the law to be changed.
• What was the rule change?
3 stumps
• Cricket back in the 18th century was played with 2 stumps.
Stevens managed to beat Small’s bat and despite bowling him
through the gate, could not get his wicket.

8.
• In his last interview before his death, when asked about how he
got into the game, X mentioned that he started out as an umpire

top of the order for Pakistan for the foreseeable future.
• A certain Shaukhat Hussain in his memoirs ‘Noor Jehan and I’,
claims that he is responsible for ending the career of Nazar
Mohammad.
• How?
• Shaukhat Hussain returned
home one day early to catch
Noor Jehan and Nazar
Mohammad in a
compromising position. When
Nazar saw Shaukhat, he
jumped from the first floor
injuring his hand and leg.
• The injuries from this fall
ended Nazar Mohammad’s
career.

Bradman won the toss and scored 169. McCabe joined in the fun
with 112. Ross Gregory, who had made his debut in the previous
test almost joined the duo with a century of his own but was
caught off the bowling off Ken Farnes, who finished with a six
wicket haul. Australia amassed 604 and won the game by a
innings to win the Ashes 3-2. Gregory never played again.

“The thought occurred while recently watching X's _ __________
______ and noticing a Y on the prison governor's desk as he
informs the lead actor of his selection as a guinea pig for a
government experiment.
X was a well known obsessive and the yellow tome, a 1969 edition,
would not have been there by accident. My guess is that it was a
visual metaphor used to depict both authority and the
establishment.”
• What is this all about?
Wisden Almanack in Clockwork Orange
13.
• Sidney Adams was a right handed batsmen and leg break bowler
who played for Northamptonshire. He was one of the many who
died during World War 2.
• He is also one of the few to take 2 wickets of the 2 balls that he
bowled in first class cricket. He achieved this feet in a game
against Dublin University in 1926.
• The first wicket that he took was of a person who never played
first class cricket again. During the time of the game, he was a
student at Dublin University and once he left, never played first
class cricket again as he went to pursue other endeavors.
• Who is this batsman?
Samuel Beckett
• He played 2 first class games, both
against Northamptonshire.
• Only Nobel laureate to be included in
the Wisden Almanack.
14.

– with a defense that was hard to breach. He led Ruia college
with distinction at the inter-collegiate level and was almost
selected for the Bombay University team.
• He played Kanga league ‘B’ division for Young Comrades and
graduated to ‘A’ division for Jolly cricketers. He was good enough
to play against the likes of Gavaskar and Vengsarkar in the Kanga
A division. He now travels to San Francisco every July for
coaching assignments.
• But he is most famous for a close association with another
cricketer. Who?
Ajit Tendulkar
15.
• It has sometimes been attributed to Duke of Richmond. One of
the Duke’s ancestors was indeed involved in the early days, but it
is unlikely that he inspired it. It may have been borrowed from I
Zingari.
• But it is most likely attributed to William Nicholson, who was the
owner of Nicholson’s Gin company. He saved them during crisis
by providing significant loans. Though there is no written proof, it
is most likely a form of thank you to Nicholson.
• What?
Egg and Bacon colours of MCC
• Is considered to be cricket’s first corporate sponsorship.
16.
• The first time he celebrated this way was after scoring a double
hundred – his second outside his home country. Considering
what happened the next day, his celebration seemed ironic.
Subsequently, he used it after scoring hundreds.
• Interpretations are varied – either celebrating his career
resurrection or a message to selectors who would drop him after
a few failures, or aiming at critics who questioned his age,
commitment and a disparity in performances between home and
away records.
• What is this all about?
Thilan Samarawera, gun celebration
• He celebrated this way for the
first time after reaching his
double hundred at Lahore.
The next day, he had a bullet
travel 12 inches into his thigh.
17.
• He was as shocked as everybody else when his name was
displayed. He asked people associated with the project and was
told that they needed someone, who was obviously not a
possibility. Maybe the writer, who is English and a cricket
follower, heard him commentating and decided to include him.
• Who and what is this all about?
Michael Slater
• He was one of the options in Slumdog Millionaire movie for the
question – who has scored the most first class centuries.
• Other options – Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Jack Hobbs.

  • 36. 1. • During Sobers’ record breaking 365 knock, he was batting on 360. Hanif Mohammad was introduced into the attack with the hope that Sobers would lose concentration and give his wicket away as a non-regular bowler was in operation. • However the 2nd ball of the over, Sobers hit a boundary thereby equalling Len Hutton’s record.
