all.
The only thing that reminds me of playing against him, is one other match

Van Alen. The one that would end after a maximum of 9 points was
called the “X tiebreaker,” while the one with 12 points was called the
“Y ” tiebreak. The 12-points tiebreak continues until one player or
team wins by a margin of at least two points and with a minimum of 7
points. X and Y interestingly signify not the type of win, but the type
of loss.

103. Beards

104. That’s all folks, Thanks for Playing!

105. Tiebreaker.
• Every player dreams of representing their nation, but as far as international
careers go, surely there are none more strange than X.
• Uncapped for Argentina, X was selected for the first ever World Cup in
1930. After missing the first game, he was selected for his debut as a
replacement for the unfit first choice – and bagged a hat trick. He then
scored 2 goals in the final group game to secure qualification to the semi
finals (as there were less teams competing). He bagged another brace in
the semi final, before netting a single goal in their unsuccessful final versus
winners Uruguay.
• After this tournament, X never played for Argentina again. This meant that
in his international career, he could boast having scored a hat trick on his
debut, scoring in every game he played for the national side, a goals per
game ratio of two (four games, eight goals), and being the top scorer at the
first ever FIFA World Cup.

107. • Shahid Afridi was flown in to play for the Pakistan team from West
Indies to Nairobi in 1996 and didn't have a proper bat. That's when

boundaries with the bat and scored a 37-ball century against Sri
Lanka which was the then fastest ODI century. The record, broken
later by Corey Anderson (36 balls), now belongs to South Africa's AB
de Villiers (31 balls)

108. Sachin Tendulkar
