Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[Magrat Garlick]

Is it to do with years?

So the top pair is year x, the next one down is year x + 1...

Yep, on the right track.

 

[aussie tragic]

The X is determined by the square numbers.

Hirwani (1)
Turner (4)
Richardson (9)
Lohmann (16)

etc.

Waugh retired one Test before he could make it into the list twice

I thought this thread was "Cricket Guru" not mathematical Guru

What's going-on, this thread's been abandoned!

 

[adharcric]

You're back.

 

[Richard]

Good spot, Einstein...

Can't remember... how ferocious was our last argument?

 

[adharcric]

Haha, we've never had a big one. You're definitely a legend around here though.

 

[Richard]

Haha, we've never had a big one.

You mean there's a long-time forum-member that I've never had a big argument with...

You're definitely a legend around here though.

Is that a at me being a legend or at those who consider me to be so?

 

[adharcric]

Hopefully we'll get a chance in the near future.

Open for interpretation, I suppose.

We are struggling to keep one trivia thread going at the moment, without SJS and Jason.

Welcome back Richard, although you should be aware that they have changed the bad word filter and now we can use the shorthand for Richard

 

[Richard]

No SJS and JASON?

Jason is still around but does not vistit the trivia threads too often

SJS pops in once in a while

As some of you are aware, I took early retirement in August last year and have been on a long vacation now for four months. Have been travelling by road to many exotic places in India and am currently in Kashmir. Hence access to internet hasn't been easy. I wont be back in Mumbai till mid February. Should be here more often then.

I really miss CW in general and CC in particular.

PS : BTW, why the cup icon after my name ??? Does any one know ?

 

[Johnners]

He's alive!!!

the cup after your name is because you have a Highest score on 1 of the arcade games i beleive

Well, great to hear you'll be back sometime.

Your case sounds oddly familiar, BTW, wonder why that is... (not the early-retirement bit, incidentally)

Well I dunno why but Rich H has it too...

Where in Kashmir? I haven't been back since I was a few years old.

Ahem.

Fair point that.

 

[SJS]

OKAY GUYS

We are going to give it a kick start.

A former Indian captain had peanuts trickling down his arms as he stood to great the Queen of England in the traditional Indian greeting of 'namaskar' (palms together in front of the face) and it is said that a few peanuts even got lodged in Her Majesty'd shoes.

Who was the Indian captain and why did this happen ?

Clearly the "kick" didnt manage to do the trick. I was wrong in presuming it was merely dormant.
