ReplyDeleteNo wicket's fallen after Warner's so hope this break brings luck:
ReplyDelete15 Drunk guy definitely can't walk over it (9) TIGHTROPE [CD]
TIGHT + GUY
Score is heading towards 350+ :(
ReplyDelete:-(
DeleteDid well to keep it down to 329, but it might be tough.
ReplyDeleteThough I filed in, I did not connect guy with rope until I saw your comment.
Executioners usually connect guys with ropes ...
DeleteUnless 'Blondie' rides in with his sharpshooting ...
DeleteUnbelievable. Yes I have made it today. Once I cracked 1a everything started falling into place. 19,22a amazing orchestration.19d wonderful orchestration.19 d wonderful cocktail.15d Though 'one cannot walk over it' I got high on the rope because I learned the ropes thanks to handy clues. Thank you Arden for a refreshing x'ie.
ReplyDeleteOpening comment by Deepak: "Go India".
ReplyDeleteSeems to be happening.:)
India lost. Sob! Sob!! Sob!!! :(
ReplyDeletePoor display by Kohli and Raina. We could have won after the start given by Dhawan and Rohit
DeleteJoke doing the rounds: From his lady friend:
Delete'Virat, I want you here in 5 minutes.' :D.
Raina would always come a cropper against genuine fast short stuff. Strangely Dhoni and Rahane did not make any effort to hit out and gave up?
DG Sir @ 5:13 - Yes, but the odds were against us.
DeleteWhat odds? The fact that they went down without a fight is what is painful. Look at the fight put up by SA, they lost with honour.
DeleteDon't worry. We are here to console you.
ReplyDeleteHave a better day with the grid tomorrow.
Suresh,
I was reminded of R.K.Laxman's cartoon- "You said come on!" the jockey says to the spectator (with the horse standing near the crowd-off track!)
Paddy @ - yes, hereafter I can concentrate on solving CWs seriously! (Courtesy India's exit from World Cup)
