won, Glenn McGrath revisited the history of underarm bowling between Australia and New Zealand. When he ran in to bowl the last ball, he shaped to bowl underarm, but held on to the

ball. Billy Bowden, in the spirit of fun in which the whole match was played promptly produced a red card and showed it to

McGrath, soccer style.

Id him.• He was said to be the best all-rounder of his day. He made his

first-class debut for Sussex in 1845 aged 18, weighing only 7 stone(45 kg). Initially a fast round-arm bowler, his pace slowed in later years. While bowling fast, he took on average nearly 10 wickets in every game. In 1850, playing for the South against the North at Lord's, he took all 10 wickets in the second innings, all clean bowled (still the only instance of all ten wickets being taken "bowled" in any first-class match). In all, he took 1,109 first-class wickets with a bowling average of 10.32 He was also a fine batsman (4,140 first-class runs with a batting average of 14.12, an average which was very good for the time). He scored only two centuries, the first in 1849 and the second was the only century scored in 1855. Who?

• The 1996 Wisden records that "fried calamari stopped play" during a South African domestic match at Paarl in February 1995. This was probably the most bizarre incident which stopped play in a game of cricket.

• What happened??

Calamari is a mediterranean dish made using Squid. The batsman Daryll Cullinan hit a six into a frying pan in a kitchen in a nearby building. It was about ten minutes before the ball was cool enough for the umpires to remove the grease. Even then, the bowler Fanie De Villiers was unable to grip the ball and it had to be replaced later.

On what incident Dale Steyn tweeted this???

Morne Morkel ball delivery at 173.9 kmph made dale steyn tweet this.

• Sledging can be an effective cricketing weapon, but I feared I had gone too far when one of my victims burst into the Australian dressing room brandishing an AK- 47 and demanding revenge.I said: 'Looks like you don't fancy it very much, Depardieu (he resembles the French actor).' He replied: 'Listen, a lot of people go missing every day in South Africa and one more won't be noticed.' Later, he threatened to use me for bait when he went shark fishing.I thought nothing of it all - until we went to South Africa. It was lunch in Johannesburg and we were just starting to tuck in when he stormed in wielding the gun, which he had borrowed from a policeman outside, shouting: 'Right, I've had enough of you Australians.'

Identify the person who wrote these line and who is he talking about?

Shane Warne wrote these lines. He was talking about Brian Mcmillan.

LAL SALAAM

X , in Australian Cricket is considered an unlucky score (the devil's number). The theory apparently was born from Keith Miller -regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder.

Miller- “As a boy I used to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground, applauding my heroes – especially Don. I was barely ten then. And there I was admiring a masterly innings by Bradman for NSW against Victoria on the MCG. Don was seeing the ball as big as a football, but ‘Bull’ Alexander bowled him. I looked at the scoreboard which read: Bradman X”.

Richie Benaud and some other commentators later picked up on it and the myth grew. Later in Miller words- “when I checked the scorebook of the 1929 Sheffield Shield match at the NSW Cricket Association Library I find Bradman was bowled by Alexander on another score. So it was not X after all; the MCG scoreboard was slow as usual!”Bradman in fact never really got out on X.

87(13 short of the century)

X gained the nickname "King of Spain", after a set of mugs ordered in 2000 (for his testimonial year) had been erroneously printed with that slogan, instead of "King of Spin".

However, after the error was publicized, a further two hundred mugs were produced with King Juan Carlos on the other side and were snapped up by Warwickshire fans.Name X

He got a lot of runs in club cricket and was recruited in SBI as a cricketer. His wicket keeping was excellent, though he didn’t shine as a batsman. He was studious about the game and looked more towards developing others talent.
