So, here we go. The answers to the first Cricket Diaries Cricket Quiz (CDCQ).
The first one was undoubtedly difficult. The relation between the grounds was that all of them have hosted the opening game of the World Cups in 1987, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007. You had to answer which stadium would host it in 2011. It was Sher-e-Bangla in Dhaka. Funnily, a couple of you, got the relation right, but for some reason, mentioned the answer as M Chidambaram in Chennai. Soft dismissal that!
The second and third, all of you got right. Top-scorers in Under-19 World Cup and Googly. Interestingly, the first time Bosanquet had unleashed the delivery, it had bounced four times before dismissing the batsman, stumped.
The fourth was not as difficult as I thought it would be. In fact, I was surprised to find that the only players that ‘Bosied’ some of you were A and B! No, they were not Monty Panesar and Bishen Singh Bedi, but Bopara and Tendulkar! The rest of them, all got them right, Shane Warne, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Pakistan, Rahul Dravid, Javagal Srinath in that order.
And based on this, and the fact that the tied result would mean that the winner is that dude/dudette who has sent it the earliest, the winner of the quiz is Venkat Ananth. Congratulations Venkat! An IPL pass to watch a game tomorrow in the BIG CINEMAS movie hall tomorrow!
The other notable quizzers are:
Vivek Iyer – 11
Deepti Khambe – 11
Harshad Vartak – 11
(unfortunately missing out on the prize because they sent it a tad later than Venkat)
R Ganesh – 10
(Why was that first answer MCG, Ganesh?)
Aviral S – 10
Aditya Desai – 10
Swagat Sinha – 10
Rohan Jagan – 10
(Thak you Rohan for your kind comments. Will send you the e-mail today, but it would great if you could subscribe to our website!)
Rachit Kwatra – 10
(Yeah Rachit, I think that first question was the distinguishing factor,
the one that makes one rack brains, including us, when we set it!)
Amit Telang – 9
Abhishek Paul – 9
(Thanks Abhishek, we definitely will be doing it! Do keep solving!)
Puneet Miskeen – 8
(He made me chuckle with his, “As I type this I am still trying to find the answer for the first qstn.. almost sweating ..”)
So Venkat, the guys from BIG CINEMAS should directly be contacting you. Do have fun at the game!
Most importantly, we will be back with another quiz very soon, say by next week! Do keep reading The Diaries on the website till then 
And do spread the word about the quiz!
