X was the subject of an interesting incident that occurred when Australia
were playing England in the first Test at WACA (Perth) in December 1979.
Australia were in trouble at the end of first day s play, with the score being
232/8, with Dennis Lillee not out. When the second day s play began, out
walked Lillee with this item X. The use of X was to provide a substitute for
the more conventional item (having the same job as X) in schools and
underdeveloped countries. It so happened that the owner of the company
making X was a good friend of Lillee s, and thus Lillee s intention was to use
it as a marketing stunt. The controversy happened when the English captain
Mike Brearley opposed the use of X, claiming (which was later seen to be
untrue) that X was damaging the cricket ball. A heated incident followed, in
which Lillee had to discard X and use the more conventional equipment.
After the game, the sale of X skyrocketed, with Lillee getting part of the
profit as well. Since then, the Laws of Cricket have been amended as to
prohibit use of X.

The final of the 1996 Euro Cup saw the Czech Republic
hoping to repeat Euro 1976 when Czechoslovakia defeated
West Germany; the Germans were aiming to win their third
European Championship. Patrick Berger scored from a
penalty in 59th minute to put the Czechs ahead. German
substitute Oliver Bierhoff then scored to make it 1–1 at the
end of the regulation time. Bierhoff’s seemingly harmless
shot was then mishandled by Kouba, the Czech goalkeeper.
Germany were European champions again, the first time as a
unified country. But this match saw the use of a rule first
time in the tournament.
What is it?
Question 2

The final of Euro 1976 was played between Czechoslovakia
and West Germany. A 2-2 draw at the end of the extra time
ensured that the winner had to be decided by a penalty
shoot-out for the first time in the Cup’s history. The Czechs
won the shoot-out 5-3 and thus won their first European
trophy. But this match is remembered today for a very

massive cardiac arrest.
Question 3

As the Bolton and Tottenham medical teams, augmented by a
leading heart specialist leaping from the crowd to help,
attempted to resuscitate him, for over an hour his heart did
not function. He was gone. Nothing sparked it back into
action: adrenalin injections, massage, the vigorous application
of a defibrillator, he was not responding to anything. But
then, in the hospital operating theatre to where he had been
rapidly dispatched, the doctors tried one last thing. Under an
electrical stimulus, fully 76 minutes after it stopped, his heart
burst back into a beat. As inexplicably as it had stopped, it
started again.
Those words of K ight s were prophetic: X did come back.

Question 3

X crashed out in the race at the Suzuka circuit after heavy rain had
made conditions extremely difficult to drive in. When X went off at
the same corner as Adrian Sutil, he collided with the recovery
vehicle that was tending to the stricken Sauber driver, impacting
heavily with the underside of the tractor and causing severe trauma
to his head. X was in coma for nine months in a hospital near the
family home in Nice, where he was being treated, before breathing
his last on July 17th 2015. X's tragic death is the first to occur from a
crash during a race since the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, when
Ayrton Senna died after crashing out while leading at Imola.
Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had been killed the day before

a Spanish footballer who played as a central defender. He
played his entire career with Espanyol, and was named team

the age of 26. His death was a shock to the entire footballing
world. X, who was a friend and a former teammate of Jarque,
paid tribute to him in the 2010 World Cup which caught the
eyes of everyone around the world. X s tribute contained the
words Dani Jarque: siempre con nosotros which meant Dani

Some sports moments simply defy all reasonable
comprehension—Mickey Mantle blasting a 565-foot home run,
Secretariat winning the 1973 Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths,
and Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open by 15 strokes.
But the feat that may top them all came in the 1968 Olympic
Games in Mexico City. X, a 22-year-old New York native, barely
qualified for the Olympic long jump finals after fouling in two of
his qualifying runs. Fortunately, he did. The following day in the
finals, X took off down the runway in the thin air of Mexico City.
After exactly 19 loping strides, he hit the board perfectly,
stretched out with his legs and flew through the air like no one
ever had. And finally, he hit the sand in the pit below.

There was no doubt that he had broken the world record,
the only question was by how much. X was so excited and
emotionally drained that doctors claim he suffered a
"cataplectic seizure." Some critics devalued the jump,
claiming the rarified air and the wind of 2.0 meters per
second was more responsible for the record. But all the
other competitors jumped in the same elements and
strangely, none of them came close. The defending Olympic
champion Lynn Davies told X, "You have destroyed this
e e t.” Such as his perfor a ce that superlati e

Even though the Ryder Cup prize ceremony took place at _______ long after
the sun had set, the staggering nature of Europe's triumph eclipsed the
gloom -- and left many golf fans wondering how the visiting side had
recorded the most remarkable comeback in the competition's 85-year
history. Trailing 10-4 at one point on Saturday, and 10-6 as Sunday's singles
got underway, the team led by Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal defied the odds

itself. As darkness enveloped _______ Country Club in Chicago, Europe's

giving up," Olazabal said.

If you were a Formula One fan who attended the U.S. Grand Prix at
Indianapolis in 2005, it could be argued you witnessed one of the
strangest races in motorsport history. A field of 20 cars should have
lined up for the grand prix, but on that Sunday of June 19 just six (2
each from Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi) were on the starting grid. It
was the result of a bizarre sequence of events which left motorsport
fans feeling so shortchanged it nearly drove F1 out of the U.S. for
good. So frustrated was the Indianapolis crowd that fans hissed and
hurled bottles when Michael Schumacher's Ferrari led home the six
drivers -- as the other 14 brooded in their garages. This race was
S hu a her’s o ly i tory for the seaso a d is re e ered a o g
the Indians as it was the first time that Narain Kartikeyan scored
points. Why were there only six cars instead of the usual 20 on
raceday?

The controversy unfolded after a punctured tire during
practice caused Ralf Schumacher's Toyota to crash at the
circuit's banked final turn - the fastest part of the track.
Toyota used Michelin rubber and, after investigation into
the tire failure, Michelin advised the seven teams who used
their tires -Renault, McLaren, Williams, Toyota, BAR, Sauber
and Red Bull - not to race, to avoid any further accidents.
Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi used Bridgestone tyres and
therefore participated in the race without any problem.
