DOCTORED CRICKET QUIZ-19-20

complicating 'Bhangra' more than Bharatnatyam\

....remember African Gandhi for freedom and penance;

many ports- many forts, check them before you advance,

Here’s a cricket quiz like no other. Every day, we carry a picture clicked by cricket fanatic Dr Hiren Shah in course of his travels around the world. Hidden in every picture is a cricketing term. To help you unravel this cricketing term, Dr Shah provides a clue. Today’s Puzzle TODAY’S CLUE: Bhangra Yesterday’s puzzle Correct Answer: Cheergirls The clue was: Perfect co-ordination Once again, Amdavadis bombarded our mailbox with lot of entries but only eight were able to crack the code. The perfect co-ordination is usually seen among the cheergirls, who are seen gyrating to heart thumping music during the IPL and other Twenty20 events. Most of the wrong answers sent to us were footwork, team, teamwork and hand-eye co-ordiantaion. correct entries Jaykishan Jasani, Prodyut Pal, Sanjay Kantodey, Harshill Bhatt, Steve Christian, Vrushali Shah, Saqngita Jain, Nirnay Kapoor.

Cricket started with test matches, and 'driving' via ‘one day’ in past few years,it reached to the new format of twenty20. Its been blamed that the age-old glory of the gentleman's game is side lined by glitz, glamour and girls of T20..But then, Bollywood and beauties were there from the time of Salim Durani and Gary Sobers. And we still have Sharmila Tagores, Sangita Bijlanis ,Reena Roys and many similar with their celebrated and/ controversial cricket connections.

Are we talking about this ‘Perfect Coordination’ of cricket and glamour? Or am I mis guiding you from these glamorous[?] dancers,and their rhythmic and coordinated steps ?

Whatever..Lets toast for these entertainers..'Apki Lambi Umar Ke Liye' !!
