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.

The only problem is that I didn't see that match,to give you an answer would require me looking it up on the internet,and that I would consider cheating.

Welcome back bladescape!

The only problem is that I didn't see that match,to give you an answer would require me looking it up on the internet,and that I would consider cheating.

Question 5d,e,f : You don?t have to see a match to answer a question.

The match itself is Legendary.

I remember when that happened Dhaka was converted into a festive mood.

It was like winning a world cup.

The worst beating the best. That is like a fairy tale.

Before that pretty match everybody thought Bangladesh would remain a mediocre team forever.

But Dav Whatmore and his brave warriors had other things in mind. Dav proved that if you can instill self Belief and modern skills even in a mediocre team it is capable of beating the very best. Their cannot be a better example than that classic match.

Anyway I d not know where you got the idea that if you dig information from Internet to solve a Quiz question it would be considered unfair or in your terminology cheat. That is so wrong and unheard of.

A lot of my Quiz questions genuinely requires probing and digging numbers like wickets, runs ,average, place, time of events that happened long long time.

It is impossible for anyone to remember that.

So how is a person going to get that.

Off Course internet is the best option because if you are conversant with good search engines it leads to appropriate sources.

Also The Quiz is not a closed book Academic or Certification exam.

It is very much an informal thing which for certain questions requires one to research either from Internet, Reliable references ? Books, Magazines ,Videos etc.

It is upto the person to choose which one or ones has to be looked into to get optimum results.

So far the quiz competition has unearthed 3 sharpshooters . You are definitely one of them the others being King Cricket and Dare.

Keep up the Good work.

Good Luck and Cheers!
