Semis Are Full!

"And then there are four!"
(c) We Are All One #12 The Beaver Painting

England: They are continuing from where they left in 2019. Very bold cricket. Moeen Ali is providing #ValimaiUpdate in every game. Whenever I see England, I am reminded of the unrelenting waves on a beach. They keep coming at you. Hard nut to crack. It is their cup to lose irrespective of Jason Roy's absence. #EnggerlundEnggerlund

New Zealand: We have written about the sheep or the abundance; about the population or lack of; about the abudance of innovation; about KaneW. A desperate combo of MSD, Kohli, Dada and an awful beard makes Kane the king, yes, not Kohli. :-) With Southee and Boult searing at the top and Ish + Santner bottling the middle, it is going to be a bold one to bet against the Kiwis! #LOTRMagic

Australia: If there is one team that does not deserve to be in the semis, it is them. Travelling completely under the radar, they have managed to reach yet another semis. Beware! If Cummins and Hazlewood crank it along with Starc, then life can be interesting. Maxie & Warner will be the x-factors in a team that is probably the weakest of the lot in semis. #UndetectedOnRadar

Pakistan: Right from 'that' fateful Sunday against its neighbours, they have performed so well that Pakistan is the only team that has won it all. An enviable record in UAE is just something for the teams to note; if history doesn't stop you, the nephew Afridi will stop. If the nephew does not stop you then Asif will make you run to pick up the balls. #GreenEnvy

May the best team win!

Quiz Section

Answer to the multiple-objects-in-a-square question is:

Thanks Rajaraman for the nice sketch. I would have rationalised the fraction and ended with 

(2-sqrt(2))/3. But it is okay. Sivamani, Siva G, Rambo, Rajaraman got the right answer and four points each! Good show.

Now for today's quiz question.

Name each of the logos. 1 point each. Also, there are a couple of logos that are odd here. Which are they? Explanation please. 4 points. [Only if the explanation is good and tight will I give these marks!]

Have fun!
