Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

While I am at it, I might as well quote more from the 'book' :

2. Sometimes sunlight has caused play to be suspended when it dazzles off a glass roof, as happened in the Northamptonshire v Sussex game at Hastings in 1938.

When Surrey met Gloucs at Cheltenham in 1988, the second day ended 6.4 overs early because the players were blinded by the low sun. At Christchurch when England played NZ in 1962-3 play had to be stopped because the batsmen were dazzled by light off the aluminium front of a new stand. Carr windscreens are often a source of trouble, and in the game between Essex and Derbyshire in 1963, play was held up for fifteen minutes while cars, belonging to the players themselves, had to be moved.

Re 1, I remember the incident. Was it in West Indies ? If yes, was in the Bangladesh matches ?

The book mentions that an earquake held up lpay in the match that biased indian mentioned.

PS : I did an audit of myself. I have partly or completely answered 26 questions. 11 of these were done with the help of external sources, but in 8 of those cases I acknowledged it. So I guess I am fairly honest guy

PS 1: I promise to leave this book at home tomorrow.

The match in Christshurch between NZland and England is the ciorrect answer to the second question

.

Yes it was in the West Indies. That much is correct

 

[biased indian]

Dont get so upset man. Relax

You have a point. A question could have more than one correct answer and the one asking it may not know it. So we could accept the answer provided even if it was not the one the questioner had in mind.

So as far as I am concerned your answer is also correct. When I said thats the one I had in mind I am just making a factual statement. Thats all. It doesnt make your answer wrong .

 

[biased indian]

so what is the current situation have u got the answer for u r 2 questions ???

 

[SJS]

[JASON]

SJS, what was the answer you were expecting ?

Whose turn is it to ask next question? Biased Indian or Tapioca ? Who ever visits the thread first I guess.

1983. India in West Indies. Just as Mohinder Amarnath was coming into bowl, the ground trembled under his fet. It was not because of Viv Richards at the crease

Game was halted for a few minutes I think.

I think any of the two can ask. Who is here ? First come first served

 

[Tapioca]

Pass to biased indian. No questions in stock here.

I'll go

If a Test Match goes with out interuption and each day is 8 hours playing time:

[bryce]

[Jamee999]

Dear Jamee999 , each days play has three sessions of 2 hours, so how come there's 8 hours in a day ?

If 8 hours in a day then 8 x 5 x 60 x 60 = 144,000 Bryce is right
if as we know it, only 6 hours play in a day then it should be, 6 x 5 x 60 x 60
= 108,000 seconds.

How's that ?

Since you've underlined the word seconds, there must be a catch in that I suspect , and the question is not as straight forward as we see it, may be.

 

[bryce]

maybe he added the lunch and tea breaks, but they only go for half an-hour each don't they ?

 

[biased indian]

No its 40 minutes lunch time and 20 minutes tea time avg 30 minutes for a break
