Mortaza? He is in the top 5 most expensive? wow.
Robin’s Cosy Corner – West Indies Bangladesh Special Quiz
- Thread starter robin2855
- Start date
You are right.
The term expensive in context of the question was based on only Foreign players who were bought in the second round of Auction for 2009 IPL.
Mortaza was bought for phenomenal $600,000 by Kolkata Knight Riders and in terms of Dollar value he is 5th.

Q5 - Additional Hint
King Cricket(4 names), Bladescape(3 names) and Dare(3 names) all have done very well on Q 5.
Obviously we need to find out the 5th one which is a South African Cricketer I had mentioned before.
To be honest the 5th one is an unknown quantity to many of us including myself (LOL!) as he had never represeted South Africa in either test or One day.
He only represented South Africa once in only T20Is and his performance was pretty ordinary as figures testify - 31 runs from 4 overs with no wickets.
However this cricketer has a tremendous record in Domesic T20Is.
He has represented Highveld Lions, Cape Cobras, Warriors franchises in South Africa and Kent,Berkshire and Border as well.
He is presently playing for Middlesex
He is the proud record holder for the most wickets taken in domesticTwenty20cricket - 74 wickets fom 62 matches. No wonder he was bought for a staggering $650,000 (Base Price - 100,000).
Hints : First name : T- - - N, Last Name : H - - - - - - - N
Hope all of you will now be able to solve.
Good Luck to everybody!

Q 4 is important for readers as it provides a list of TV?s that has Regional broadcasting rights of IPL matches around the world.
I guess we have readers from different parts of the world in this forum. I thought it would be nice and handy if they become conversant with TV'S that has broadcasting rights in their own region and elsewhere iin the event if they have no access to watch them in their own country they can try an alternate one(s).
Also it is good to have multiple options in the event if one TV experiences technical difficulties one has another to fall back and not miss important parts of a match.In other words a contingency Plan.
With only a day left for IPL FIRST GAME KICK OFF I am afraid we will have a small time frame to try this Question.
King Cricket has already answered 1 correct. Their are 8 more we ought to know.
I am providing hints below:
The first two letters of TV's with regional broaadcastings rights are provided below :
Ar?..
As?.
Ne??
Se??
So?/Wo...
Sk??.
Wi.....
It should be easy for everyone to answer now.
Result of this question will be posted tomorrow, Saturday April 18, 2009 Evening (EST)
Good Luck to everyone!

Bladescape - Q 4: You are Outstanding. Q 4 C(D,E) and Q5 open
You are awesome. It is incredible that you have answered majority of Questions of Q 4 correctly. However in C One dayer : D, E you have answered in the context of their overall Test career which is the correct figure of course. But I was looking for the answers in the context of India Pakistan encounters only which should be a piece of cake for you anyway.
So try now. I want you to become the undisputed champion of Cricket Quiz 6with 100% correct answers for all questions.
Q 5 You surprised me . You have answered a more difficult one BD VS INDIA records last time which was 100% correct. This is a sitter.
With your wealth of knowledge it should be a piece of cake.
I may dare say that every cricket lover of all cricket nations knows about the upset Victory of a minnow Nation(Bangaldesh) over the best in the world.
At least Every Australian and Bangladeshi knows about it guaranteed (LOL!)
I was not a fluke victory. It was a very convincing victory and done in style and will be remembered by many for many many years.
Also everyone knows about the guy who was the architect of Victory who incidentally got an opportunity to play in IPL 2009.
However for everyone ?s sake I am providing a few hints:
d) They are still active.
e) Has been bought for $75000 to play in IPL.
f) Plays for Dhaka Warriors in ICL. Some of the shots he plays is out of the world .
The assurance and authority with which he plays specially against the top speedsters of the world is mind boggling and I may dare say barring Tamim and Alok (both hugely talented) no one else in Bangladesh team is capable of doing that.
I am not providing any hints to 5 a, b, c because it is left to readers to do some research which is obviously what Cricket quiz is intended for .
