Doctored Cricket Quiz

so..scored 21 runs.. i mean just 21 right entries in AM mail-box! once again caught on the boundary line- while trying a hook shot!

That photo, clicked in 'Dutch Museum of Galle' in Sri Lanka, showed 3 plates mounted on the wall, and a lantern hanging by a 'hook' on the rod.Actually i wanted a better picture of those plates, and this was 'almost discarded one'-as plates were not seen quite well. The reason for the plates...They are collector's items.I've displayed similar plates and bowls [more than 40 !] in the kitchen of my 'Houseum', comprising the unique 'Holland Pottery', existent only in the colonies of "Dutch East India' from 17th-18th centuries.

Today's picture- showing school boys, watching some play or sport in the stadium?..it can be anything! But then..what it has to do with Maninder Singh?This Singh was King, on that day- but not for India! Hope you'll untie this 'Gordian Knot'-one of the most difficult puzzles of all the time!
