were playing England in the first Test at WACA (Perth) in December 1979.
Australia were in trouble at the end of first day s play, with the score being
232/8, with Dennis Lillee not out. When the second day s play began, out
walked Lillee with this item X. The use of X was to provide a substitute for
the more conventional item (having the same job as X) in schools and
underdeveloped countries. It so happened that the owner of the company
making X was a good friend of Lillee s, and thus Lillee s intention was to use
it as a marketing stunt. The controversy happened when the English captain
Mike Brearley opposed the use of X, claiming (which was later seen to be
untrue) that X was damaging the cricket ball. A heated incident followed, in
which Lillee had to discard X and use the more conventional equipment.
After the game, the sale of X skyrocketed, with Lillee getting part of the
profit as well. Since then, the Laws of Cricket have been amended as to
prohibit use of X.

short by a back injury. He initially had no intention to become
a match official, but was persuaded by a friend of his to give
the exam for a subsequent course. X was one of the officials
caught in the attack on the Sri Lanka cricket team by terrorists
in Lahore, Pakistan. He along with the other officials criticized
the Pakistan security forces' response to the incident.

Question 3
310. X refereed the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final between
Bayern Munich and Manchester United; he cited this as his
most memorable game because of the cheers at the end,
which he described as a "lions' roar". In this game he allowed
three minutes of added time, as Bayern Munich led 1–0 with
90 minutes on the clock through an early Mario Basler goal,
only for two stoppage time goals to give the trophy to United
in the Nou Camp. He also featured on the cover of PES 3 and
subsequently PES 4 alongside Francesco Totti and Thierry
Henry. This was unusual as such game covers almost
exclusively feature managers and footballers.

Question 5
318. Question 1
Cesar Flores, a former referee in provincial football in Argentina
came into the news for showing a red card to a certain player in the
last match that he took charge of in Campo de la Ribera, the
provincial capital of Cordoba. Why would a certain provincial match
from Argentina come into the news or why would be Cesar Flores
name be taken in this section of the quiz?
319.
320. The player who was shown the red card, got angry
and shot Flores three times just after he was sent
off, which killed Flores.
Answer
321. X was hailed as a hero by Pakistani umpire Nadeem Ghouri
for his bravery during the terror attacks on the Sri Lankan
cricket team in Pakistan. It was reported that X threw himself
on top of Pakistani umpire Ahsan Raza as he lay bleeding on
the floor of their minibus while a gun battle raged around
them. X protected Mr Raza for more than 20 minutes until
help arrived. Id X.
Question 2
324. The last thing X recalls hearing on March 17,2012 as Bolton
played Tottenham in an FA Cup quarter final, was his
colleague Zat K ight s rea i g at hi to o e a k . He
tried to do as Knight had suggested, to backpedal and fulfill
his defensive duties. But, gripped by an inexplicably severe
heada he, he fou d he ould t ru . He felt horri ly o fused;
his head spinning, his vision scrambled, he saw two Scott
Parkers ahead of him. And then he just went down. He
does t re all ollapsi g. But o e thi g is ertai : y the ti e
his head hit the White Hart Lane turf, technically he was dead.
It was one of the most shocking things seen at a football
ground: a young player dying in plain sight. In front of 35,000
spectators and millions watching on television, X, a player
renowned throughout the game for his fitness, had suffered a
massive cardiac arrest.
Question 3
325. As the Bolton and Tottenham medical teams, augmented by a
leading heart specialist leaping from the crowd to help,
attempted to resuscitate him, for over an hour his heart did
not function. He was gone. Nothing sparked it back into
action: adrenalin injections, massage, the vigorous application
of a defibrillator, he was not responding to anything. But
then, in the hospital operating theatre to where he had been
rapidly dispatched, the doctors tried one last thing. Under an
electrical stimulus, fully 76 minutes after it stopped, his heart
burst back into a beat. As inexplicably as it had stopped, it
started again.
Those words of K ight s were prophetic: X did come back.
Id X.
Question 3
328. X crashed out in the race at the Suzuka circuit after heavy rain had
made conditions extremely difficult to drive in. When X went off at
the same corner as Adrian Sutil, he collided with the recovery
vehicle that was tending to the stricken Sauber driver, impacting
heavily with the underside of the tractor and causing severe trauma
to his head. X was in coma for nine months in a hospital near the
family home in Nice, where he was being treated, before breathing
his last on July 17th 2015. X's tragic death is the first to occur from a
crash during a race since the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, when
Ayrton Senna died after crashing out while leading at Imola.
Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had been killed the day before
in qualifying, the horrible events of that weekend led to a rash of
safety changers to improve the protection offered to drivers.

Question 4
331. Daniel Jarque González (1 January 1983 – 8 August 2009) was
a Spanish footballer who played as a central defender. He
played his entire career with Espanyol, and was named team
captain one month before his death from a heart attack, at
the age of 26. His death was a shock to the entire footballing
world. X, who was a friend and a former teammate of Jarque,
paid tribute to him in the 2010 World Cup which caught the
eyes of everyone around the world. X s tribute contained the
words Dani Jarque: siempre con nosotros which meant Dani
Jarque: always with us . ID X and how did he pay his tribute to

414. Some sports moments simply defy all reasonable
comprehension—Mickey Mantle blasting a 565-foot home run,
Secretariat winning the 1973 Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths,
and Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open by 15 strokes.
But the feat that may top them all came in the 1968 Olympic
Games in Mexico City. X, a 22-year-old New York native, barely
qualified for the Olympic long jump finals after fouling in two of
his qualifying runs. Fortunately, he did. The following day in the
finals, X took off down the runway in the thin air of Mexico City.
After exactly 19 loping strides, he hit the board perfectly,
stretched out with his legs and flew through the air like no one
ever had. And finally, he hit the sand in the pit below.
415. There was no doubt that he had broken the world record,
the only question was by how much. X was so excited and
emotionally drained that doctors claim he suffered a
"cataplectic seizure." Some critics devalued the jump,
claiming the rarified air and the wind of 2.0 meters per
second was more responsible for the record. But all the
other competitors jumped in the same elements and
strangely, none of them came close. The defending Olympic
champion Lynn Davies told X, "You have destroyed this

him just €30 (£23) from the website. He said that the decision was
because he didn't want to be at the beck and call of boot
manufacturers. "I'd rather be free than prostitute myself for a
sponsor," the 31-year-old told French website Canal+. He
added: "Being fashionable is expensive, but you're more

458. If you were a Formula One fan who attended the U.S. Grand Prix at

strangest races in motorsport history. A field of 20 cars should have
lined up for the grand prix, but on that Sunday of June 19 just six (2
each from Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi) were on the starting grid. It
was the result of a bizarre sequence of events which left motorsport
fans feeling so shortchanged it nearly drove F1 out of the U.S. for
