4. Q1.
For more than a decade, X remained a magical figure in cricket trump cards — an
extremely popular card-game among kids. A hushed giggle would appear on one of
the faces seeing a card with Y flashing past point. This would invariably mean an
opportunity to challenge the peers over the highest individual ODI score. And for
their competitors there wasn’t a scope for any other reaction but to concede
handful of points. Such was the mammoth record of Y that his achievement
appeared unconquerable for more than a decade.
However, in a span of two years, the record was smashed twice and equaled
once. Without much doubt one would only imagine an experienced and
accomplished batsman to play such a marathon innings. The record books will
perhaps be amused at the presence of a certain Z alongside Y, Sachin Tendulkar and
Virender Sehwag among the highest individual scores in One-Day Internationals.
Give me X and Z.

20. Q9.
Aug 14, 2014 :The club captain jested that the forward was fortunate that the Bavarians did not
stage a comeback in the DFL-Supercup and was thrilled with how his final game as captain went
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would have been "beaten up" by his Borussia Dortmund team-mates
for his X if they had not triumphed over Bayern Munich, club veteran Sebastian Kehl has joked.
The forward scored the second goal for BVB in their 2-0 DFL-Supercup win on Wednesday, netting
midway through the second half to add to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's opener and celebrating in
memorable fashion by pulling out a __________.
Although his goal celebration at Signal Iduna Park was largely seen as amusing, Kehl conceded it
would have been awkward if the Bavarians fought back to beat BVB.
"That was a funny celebration by Aubameyang," Kehl told Ruhr Nachrichten after the win. "I did not
know he had his ____ ready to pull out if he scored.
"It's lucky for him that we won, though - we would have beaten him up after the game otherwise!“

26. Q12.
In baseball, the _____ pitch is a type
of changeup; it closely resembles
a forkball and split-finger fastball. It is a
variation of the circle changeup, and when
mastered can be extremely effective. Much
like a forkball, the ______ is gripped
between two fingers on the hand, but
rather than the middle and index finger as
with the forkball or split-finger fastball, it
sits in between the middle and ring fingers
to make a v-shape when releasing to the
catcher. It is thrown with fastball arm speed
but by pronating the hand by turning the
thumb down, to get good downward
movement on it.

In 1956 when he was ten, Richard Stokes was taken by his father to

working in India, businessman Stokes strolled to watch a Test
match between India and Pakistan in Delhi - and endured an even
noisier day compared to Old Trafford.

and Cartoon Network worldwide (including the US).
The show is set in a fictional Mexican town centered on lucha libre (nearly
everyone in the town has a mask and costume and a signature move) and is
essentially about the adventures of three children, Rikochet, The Flea and Buena
Girl, as they struggle through the Foremost World-Renowned International School
of Lucha, where they study.

40. *Q19.
It’s well established that X Y has a fear of flying. So it should be no surprise then that when
the Z giant sat down with Trip Hawkins and Joe Ybarra of Electronic Arts in 1984 to discuss
what would become X Y Z, the conversation took place on a train traveling from Denver to
Oakland.
EA founder Hawkins, an avid Strat-O-Matic Z player, had long wanted to make a realistic Z
game for computers. With the recent success of the Apple II and other mass market
hardware, there was finally a platform that could make that dream a reality. But in order to
truly achieve a realistic game, Hawkins wanted a Z mind on his team. He wanted X Y.
The game was in development for four years, largely because of legal trouble with
Bethesda Softworks, a company that had made a similar Z sim and was at one point under
contract with EA to help develop the X Y game. When that didn’t pan out, the companies
parted ways and EA released X Y Z on its own in 1988. It did indeed feature 22 players on
the screen, but it also suffered from slow performance and a limited feature set as a result.
Part Points for Z and X Y.
