1. January 11, FMS, University of Delhi

2.  30 questions in the Prelims.
 Questions 1-10 are starred, which will be used
in case we have a tie.
 Questions 16-29 are visuals where you just
need to name the cricket related personality.
 +1 for every correct answer, there is no
negative marking though.
 8 teams (2 from college/school) qualify for
the finals.

9.  Nicknamed “Father”, Charles
Marriott was a renowned googly
bowler who, because of teaching
duties at Dulwich College, only
played for Kent in the summer
holidays. He was almost 38 when
picked to make hisTest debut. He
was a poor fielder though, and a
genuine rabbit too- his career-best
score being 21 and he averaged
4.40, taking more first-class
wickets (711) than he scored runs
(574), something that people credit
the adversity for.

11.  Issued on January 18, 1962, the
world's first cricket stamp
came from the Portuguese
colony of CapeVerde, now an
independent nation.
 The first stamp to be released
from a test playing nation
happened a couple of months
later though.Which country,
whose name was inscribed in
English, Urdu & Bengali on the
same?

13.  WhileTrevor Molony, who represented Surrey in three matches
in 1921, did it to follow custom, people since have provided some
interesting reasons for resorting to the same. Some of them are
mentioned below:
 Trinidadian cricketer Syed Mubarak Ali was no-balled 30 times
for throwing in a match against Barbados in 1942
 As rain threatened to end the match betweenVictoria and MCC in
1928–29, the MCC bowler Fred Barratt did it to allow BillWoodfull to
score a four to complete his hundred andVictoria to win.
 DilipVengsarkar did it in the match between West Zone and England in
1984–85 when the latter delayed their declaration.
 Similarly, when Lancashire batted on for too long against Oxford
University at Oxford in 1990, Phil Gerrans, an Australian playing for
Oxford, did the same.

15.  Contrary to public perception,
it was introduced in 1930 by
Kent & Curwen. Believed to
have immediately set a global
trend, it was adopted by film
stars of the GoldenAge of
Hollywood too such as Cary
Grant, Errol Flynn, Laurence
Olivier, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.,
and C Aubrey Smith, all
members of the famous
“Hollywood Cricket Club”, thus
taking it to newer highs.

17.  In 2006, Mark Pettini scored the fastest FC hundred in
just 24 minutes and 27 balls (not 24). It puts him level
with Glen Chapple as the scorer of the equal-fastest
hundred by balls faced, but Chapple's ton for
Lancashire against Glamorgan at OldTrafford in 1993
took only 21 minutes. Murray Goodwin's equally
farcical century for Sussex against Middlesex at
Southgate in July 2006 took only 25 minutes, but 32
balls.
 All these innings are however relegated to footnotes
in the first-class records because of a particular
reason.What precisely?

18.  All these innings are relegated to footnotes in the first-class
records because so-called "joke" bowling - non-bowlers
sending down full-tosses and long-hops to give away cheap
runs to set up a declaration - was being used at the time. In
Pettini's case the bowlers were Leicestershire's opening
batsman Darren Robinson, who returned figures of 4.4-0-
117-0, and wicketkeeper Paul Nixon (5-0-69-0). Pettini
finished with 114 not out, all in boundaries (12 fours, 11
sixes), which is arguably another record.
 The fastest authentic century in first-class cricket
remains Percy Fender's 35-minute hundred for Surrey
against Northamptonshire at Northampton in 1920, while
the fastest-known by balls faced is David Hookes's 34-ball
effort for South Australia againstVictoria at Adelaide in
1982-83.

21.  A Quiver Full of Arrows is a 1980
collection of twelve short stories by
British writer and politician Jeffrey
Archer.
 One of the stories, titled “The
Century” revolves around the
protagonist, an
unnamed Oxonian who has an
ambition to succeed as a cricketer for
Oxford and follow his famous father's
footsteps.
 The aforementioned character is in
fact based on a real life cricketer,
someone who Archer adored &
looked up to throughout, who?

23.  After Danielle Wyatt proposedVirat Kholi
during theT20WC in 2014, another woman
cricketer engaged in a funTwitter war
with her about the now IndianTest Captain,
tweeting “Too late Don, he asked me last
week!”.
 Shown here exulting after taking a wicket,
identify this England international.

25.  This Guyana fast bowler missed the
start of his firstTest - against South
Africa in Bridgetown in June 2010 -
because he didn't know he was
playing. After a late injury to Nelon
Pascal (himself a late replacement for
Darren Sammy), the lanky pace
bowler was whistled up from the High
PerformanceCentre a few miles away
in Barbados.West Indies batted first,
so he wasn't greatly missed.
 He later bowled 13 expensive overs in
the match, for the wicket of
nightwatchman Paul Harris, and
hasn't played again since.

31.  Entry 1: 18.00
2: 09.50
3: 32.66
4: 52.50
 Penultimate Entry: 101.39

61.  “Dreadlock Holiday” is probably
the most well-known pop song
to mention cricket. 10cc's hit
single reached number 1 in the
UK in 1978. However, the song
has only a tenuous connection
with cricket, mentioning it in the
chorus.
 This particular bit though was
immortalized decades later,
what/how did the chorus go?
What brought it back in to
limelight?

63. We will start with the finals shortly!
