Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[SJS]

Yes. I guessed you were in some business meeting and not watching the match.

Actually I had just got into an aircraft and was trying to follow the match on my mobile but couldnt talk without attracting the crew's attention

[Burpey]

LOI's ???

 

[Pratters]

LOI's ???

Limited Overs Internationals Burks. It was changed from being called One day internationals officially when some matches went into second days when rain occured and werent replayed.

So some one asked 'well it is not a one day international is it if it is carried on to two days.'

 

[JASON]

Has it got to do with their appearances in LOI's being infrequent ie a stop start type appearance (all bar Vengsarkar) ?

Is it to do with List A limited over games rather than LOIs ?

(How did you think of that ? Is it true for them ?)

I have noticed that the 20 Q format is rarely used well. The idea is to ask questions so as to keep narrowing the answering range and keep zeroing in on the correct one. But there is a tendency to guess the answer and which works when answers are known/found but fails if the question is a bit off the track. In this case too. It would have worked if someone had systematically zeroed in on the answer. There is still time....and questions left

(How did you think of that ? Is it true for them ?)

I checked G.Pandey and Laxman have zeroes in their first innings. Not sure about the others though.
