Final: Yellow Submarine Victory

"We win it with stealth!"

In probably the most toss-dependent, dew-affected, least-attended and most one-sided World Cup of any sorts, Australia won it in style. 

The closest was the 2007 West Indies 50-50 World Cup in my memory.

Well, before the tournament, they would have said 'Pchaaah!' if one had suggested that Australia would win the tournament! But with ZampA (#reverseAmazon) and Warner (#GutKickSRH) hitting form at the right moment, they moved really stealthily just like the submarines that they plan to get as part of their AUKUS pact. Well, as for the Kiwis, everyone wanted them to win. But still that eternal bridesmaid tag is stuck firmly - especially when they see yellow jerseys on the other side!

Hope 2022 brings the right mix.

Guess Section

Will send the settlement details separtely via PM/Chat.

That was a fabulous participation. Thanks for the enthu!

Quiz Section

The last question for this edition of GQ was answered by Raghav, Sivamani and Rambo.

The five rivers in question are:

Pearl River Delta System in China (specifically in and around HK)

Amstel River in Amsterdam

Yamuna in India (specifically through Delhi)

Tiber in Rome

Moskva in Moscow


I was watching an advertisement for PAYTM during one of the matches and I was reading about how rivers are being polluted at the same time. So... #DevilsWorkshop

Excellent job again by a number of people on this front.

The final standing is:


Congrats Sivamani, Raghav, Shankar Srinivasan, Adarsh and Rambo for making it to the Top-5!
Will reach out to you on the next steps here.

I had fun, folks! And I was heartened to see the participation despite India leaving the stage quite early - techincally on Day 2! ;-)
