from off to leg … think googly
A blog by ©hinaman:
so you reckon you know your cricket?
you can pickup the flippers from the dippers and the swingers from the sliders
differentiate the chinaman from a Yorker?
Then I have found a website hosting a cricket quiz with a difference.
It is called Think Googly.
Test yourself,
see if you can pick up the wrong’uns
prove to yourself how much of a pundit you really are
and not get out caught!
Think Googly
Its a cricket quiz with you at the crease.
It is your cricketing knowledge, your reflexes and quick thinking.
No asking the cheerleaders er, the audience,
no 50/50 (or is that now 20/20)
no phone a friend, no supersubs are allowed.
The questions will come as,
Fast: to tests general knowledge of cricket -
Medium paced: to test you with some obscure cricketing questions -
Spin: to test your ability to answer cricket by solving cryptic clues -
or get easily deceived. You have to think googly!
The rules are simple.
The quicker you answer, the more runs you score.
Get an answer wrong, you’ll lose a wicket.
Lose 10 … and they’ll know its all over.
There’ are no margins of error, and no third umpires to refer it to.
You can play in a Twenty20 or an ODI game.
Play against the target scores set by other players
to decide whether you win or lose each game.
Think Googly rankings: will show you where you really stand.
Win - The percentage of games that you win
SA - The average runs you score per game (scoring average), and
BA - The average runs you score per wicket lost (batting average)
And its free. 
Want to give it a try,
there’s even the ‘nets’ where you can have a go before you register.
That is fair. It has to be … after all it’s about cricket.
