What's this

I
One cricket country close to sprinting medals at Olympics is Trinidad, Tobago, Jamaica & Barbados. There's something in human breed in that part of the world that strength and fastess comes naturally. and talk about Barbados, this fast bowler is no less sprinter & very bowls slippery. Yorkers were never easy to face, but this slinging pacer serves it doubly dangerously. too.

Hint : Former West Indies left arm fast bowler - Pedro Collins, is this cricketer's half brother. Correy Collymore (another Windies pacer) is one of neighbours in Barbados home. Together they played cricket and reached the highest stage as fast bowlers of substance.



II
Oops! that was very close.

Hint : Another coach Duncan Fletcher find, an England number 3 for a long time but scores have just started to come after 2 odd years! 2006 Emerging player of the year, an Aston Villa fan was declared by Dayle Hadlee as the 'best 16 year old batsman' he had ever seen!


III
The man in behind might not be a karate champion, but man in front is surely a fool to risk his only neck! Its not about body, but brains as well. talk about pre-match practise sessions.

Hint : The man in front is a leg spinner, shares name with another current Srilankan bowlers . From School cricket to under 19 team and within a year to Lankan national team - this cricketer in front has some twiks to impress you in time to come, has played county cricket for Gloustershire and first name is Charita ____ _____... in behind is Kumar Sangakkara.

Bangladesh had a jubiliant 2007 world cup, & South Africa were second big team they had beaten. first, of course was India, blow away caribbean in a hurry. In super 8s, it upset had happened to South Africa, so no wonder Mashrafe Mortaza is the only man smiling in the picture.

Hint : No points in identifying Graeme Smith - tell the third face at the back.. another Proteas allrounder who always have a tail (towel hanging off trousers) whenever he bowls.

O no, you don't play that shot off slower deliveries!

Hint : Picture of first twenty20 world cup 2007. I can recognise the boy in green (Misbah-ul-Haq), who played two scortching but failed innings against India, is next to Yusuf Pathan with two stumps - the debut kid. Umpire in red - Mark Bensen is also easy to identify, so are Harbhajan Singh in white hat with Uthappa of sun-glasses on cap.

I can tell you the man in center is captain Dhoni & Rudra pratap is holding him from back.... who's shirt number 5? Identify the cricketer - 1 to 5 Answers.
