Cryptic clues about the Ashes
My friend Sumit has contributed a set of cryptic clues about the Ashes. He posted them in the comments section of my previous post, but I thought I'll put it out on the main page as well. Here they are:
1. A bigger boat leads the Aussies all at sea
2. Will have to make merry in his own royal land.
3. The first man to not cross any significant batting landmark in an Ashes since 2004
4. Comic hero finally retired from lecturing in England
5. DCth saves himself and country of ignominy from teammate
6. Acted like Mike, Alec and others but not anymore; still sounds like Shane
7. Required air towards the end but to his credit did suck some out of the opposition.
8. Had a perfect hold of gili-danda.
9. A couple here and there, and the freak would have no chance
10. Carriage took a lot of flak from the captain, but deftly substituted its worn wheels
Sumit, I'm hoping these are not PJs :-)
Cheers,
Harsha

They are not PJs, but might be PCs, poor clues.

Don't know what the final solution would look like.
Ekta Kapoor will soon be able to make another mega-soap opera out of this mess! :)
I guess it'll be some time before the true story emerges. Currently, there are conflicting reports about what Ganguly said all round.
BTW, I'm really amazed by the revelations that Telegraph manages to pull off consistently! LP Sahi sure has some hi-funda contacts within the team.
I don't knwo who reported to Sahi this time, 'coz it seems Ganguly didn't want to. But, in general, Ganguly provides all the info.

I don't know if you like Superman but I hope you will have an improved opinion of 'SuperWoman'
