Monday Sports Talk Social Quiz #9
You can read the rules for the quiz here, otherwise let's crack on with this week's questions.
Questions 1 to 3 - Say what you see
We've played similar rounds before where you've had to come up with the names of teams and players by looking at the pictures, this time you'll need to tell me which cricketing phrases/terminology the pictures show.
Don't worry if you've never watched a game of cricket in your life, you can still answer these questions by literally saying what you see ...
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
Question 4 - You're the umpire
Now that you've read my guide to cricket and been converted into an ardent follower of the greatest sport ever invented, you've decided to go one step further and become an umpire.
You are officiating in your first T20 game when this happens.
The bowler runs up to bowl the ball. The batsman plays a defensive shot and the ball hits his leg and is deflected along the ground to the boundary. All the fielders and bowlers jump up in the air and appeal for LBW and you decide to give it out. The batsman however, disagrees with your decision and uses DRS to review it. The video replay shows that no part of the bowler's foot was behind the popping crease when he bowled the ball.
Decide
- Is the batsman out or not? Why?
- How many runs would be awarded in this situation and to who?
- Describe which signals you, the umpire, would have to give throughout this process
- What would happen with the next ball?
This may help

The person who gives the best answer based on the laws of the game, gets the point/prize.
Question 5 - What's that stat?
Quite simply, what stat does the below tab represent?
Just to clarify, those are all minus figures in the 2nd column
| Name | Number |
|---|---|
| Jamie Carragher | -4 |
| Jos Hooiveld | -4 |
| John Paintsil | -4 |
| Wes Brown | -2 |
| Kenny Cunningham | -2 |
| Kamil Zayatte | -1 |
The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism

BEER.Question 4. Not out and no ball meaning 5 runs so one arm up and 4 signaled plus arm extended reflecting no ball. Next ball would be a free hit meaning you can only be run out.
Got you down for that answer. I'll announce that one later and let others have a go

I think the answer to question 5 is a golf leaderboard, as the person with the fewest strokes is in first place.
It's a good guess but not correct. They are all footballers but feel free to try again 😀

BEERKING.Not getting any team and name but just guess picture
1 - Chin + Music Notes
2- food + bowling
3- sweep + Shot
4 - I think if it's given out so no runs will counted but as batsman took DRS and it's no ball then only get single run of no ball and get free hit for next ball.
5- It may show net run rate.
Thanks for playing 😀
Q 1 -3 have all been answered by cryptoandcoffee
Q 4 - I'll let others have a guess at that one before announcing the answer
Q 5 - it shows net something but not run-rate

Chin music - short hostile bowling at a batsman's head
Buffet bowling - bowling that is easy to score i.e. you can help yourself to runs
Agricultural shot - a powerful swing of the bat by the batsman that lacks any timing or finesse

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
As they say in school, always read the questions!! I thought you were looking for players again 🤣🤣
Aha!!! You found my sporting Crick-tonite! My knowledge of cricket is woeful I must admit so next stop will be your recent write up on the rules 😉
Well done to @cryptoandcoffee though for knowing his Cricket 🏏
