Aloha Friends,
This GK quiz has nothing to do with your preparation for IIFT/SNAP/MAT etc. ;-) I just felt like putting together a quiz on the game that I once loved so very much and sharing the same with you guys. Happy Quizzing!!!
1. Recently, after the Sydney Test fiasco, Kumble mentioned that two teams were out there but only one was playing in the spirit of the game. He was in fact paraphrasing another captain who was complaining about his opposition. Who? When? Why?

Bill Woodfull, the Australian captain in the Ashes series of 1932-33. This series was also called the Bodyline series because of the tactics used by the English team. The English captain, Douglas Jardine, used a tactic called 'Fast Leg Theory' which was bowling fast on the leg side of the batsman with the intention to hit him rather than to get him out. This tactic almost caused a breakdown of diplomatic relations between Australia and England.
