QUESTION 0We will have to travel some years back in time to demystify this legend. Just

like the Sagar Manthan of Hindu mythology, the inaugural edition of the

Indian IPL churned up some priceless gems from the bottomless pit that is

Indian domestic cricket. Many of these gems like Manpreet Singh Gony were

found to be American diamonds on greater scrutiny and soon fell by the

wayside. Not ___________________ Of course his journey to knighthood

had not begun yet.

Ravi, or single-pasli, as he was known back then was your friendly

neighbourhood Gujju all-rounder. Of course you had Yusuf Pathan too but

his demeanour does not allow him to be put down as friendly. He started off

with a lot of promise scoring a half-century on debut albeit in a dead rubber

and a losing cause in one of those cyclical India-Sri Lanka matches of the

late noughties.

4.According to the NBA League averages, all teams average around 1.2 points

per play. So, over a period of 5 possessions all teams put up 6 points. Don

Nelson, the former Dallas Mavericks coach theorized that if any team

intentionally fouls a free throw shooter who averaged less than 60%, they

would be able to get back into a game in which they were getting blown out

as he would make only 5/10 FT shots.Hence, he developed a strategy called __________, which derives its name

from Y, who was a 52% career FT shooter. Its most successful

implementation was in the 2008 NBA Playoffs, Game 5 when Greg Popovich

used it against Y's Phoenix Suns by intentionally fouling Y throughout the

game. He finished 9-of-20 from the line, dropping the Suns to 20-of-37 total

on free throws. The Suns were eliminated from the playoffs in a 9287 Spurswin.

The strategy has also been employed on various other players who have

bad FT%'s such as Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, etc.

guaranteed that the _______ (or "the X", as staff at the Jumeirah

Beach Club call them for short) would get along. Posh's tongue, for

one thing, has previously run away with itself."

during X drinking sessions", "a property heiress, model and actress,

appears a likely sports X". Susie Dent's annual Language Reportfor

scheduling, it was difficult to attract a quality field and fans so

close to the Christmas holidays.

15*The term Yids derives from the Jewish supportership of X. Coming from the

language Yiddish, it is a slang term for a Jew. There is a large Jewish

population near to the area X play in and they have traditionally followed the

club. Historically, the supporters of other clubs used this particular term

against X

Having had this thrown at X as a derogatory term, the supporters of the club

adopted it as an unofficial nickname and also so that it would not have the

same effect if other clubs shouted it in an anti-Semitic manner.

Therefore, X fans chant "Yids" and "Yid Army !" to deflect the racist attacks of

other clubs.

16.The only time X played in the Australian Open, he lost in the 3rd round to P

Dent of US in straight sets. When asked why he didnt take part in the

Australian Open he said,"I have no reason for any regrets. When I boycotted

the Australian, I was trying to make a statement. I had made my mind up. My

point was that a player requires some time to himself, he can't keep rushing

from one court to another all the time without a break.

They all heard me say that, but no one did anything about it. So I did it

myself, I skipped the Australian and gave myself the time I needed. That was

the only way I could think of, to do it. I have always played my tennis and

lived my life on my own terms, I have no regrets"
