...my position is like a man lying down , as seen in today's pic-puzzle...why me, all at AM, are literally 'floored' by such a huge response of the readers.Of course, for almost last 10 days, I could sense that this unusual quiz has generated quite a decent interest and the discussions amongst cricket-buffs...definitely it is more than just a curiosity. however,this 'enthu' gets converted in the mail-response- only if the answer is not very difficult, i presume.

And todays clue is going to hit it really hard! Let's see tomorrow...how they come out... like poor bowlers?.. or one who is whooshing a stick like a willow of the bat?

That was a ‘tie’ match, and those wearing them were school boys who had come on a school trip to visit the ancient city of Polonnaruwa .Going by the clue of ‘Manindersingh’- it was not much difficult to imagine the right answer.

The ball and other players are not seen, but the clue is very clear. Actually, why just cricket teams-you and me, all indulged in social networking, are in involved in this inter '…… ………..’ Must not miss, at least now!

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!

Hi,Today's quiz is 'answer' to 'Bodyline' bowling.After having set eyes on short pitch deliveries on leg side, the bowler must be punished....!

Many friends did ask me about the subject of the picture. Yes, that was the outline sketch on the fabric, which would have been a wonderful Batik painting eventually, after many tedious steps.The right hand upper corner -thick brown lining is that of wax-application- the next processing.

About today's pic-its from Galle's Dutch Museum...details tomorrow.But don't forget to mail answers ,before 6 PM.Thanx .

Friends,As predicted, yesterday proved to be a 'test'ing time-a clueless Sunday!Could not score even double digit.First time,since last Monday when the quiz was 'kicked off', such a paltry score was on the board.

Todays first query-sms was 'army men?'I could only reply-"like multiple entries-multiple Sentries will be rejected!"Of course-except one corner, outlines of these monks-painting is not very clear.But the clue is self explanatory- why only Bradman, which cricketer will like to damage his 'figure'?-here i mean 'not physical' but 'batting average'.Come on Amdavadis,pull up your socks, and come out in the field to prove your puzzling-talent!!
