Sports Quiz
Hi all,
Sports quiz this time.
All the questions in the first set of 8 are connected by a theme (Theme A). All the questions in the second set of 6 are connected by a theme (Theme B).
The catch – Themes A and B are also connected in some way. You could say that B is the inverse of A (again, in a way). Don’t worry too much about that, getting the themes is pretty easy. In fact, you’ll probably get them before many of the questions.
Please leave your answers in the comments section in rot13 (www.rot13.com).
Moderate googling is allowed for pic connects, but tell us if you did.
Answers in a week.
All questions were set by Rahul Gaur and I thought of the themes.
- Gaur and Vaibhav.
Set 1:
1. This tennis legend, born to a Labour MP, showcased his talents at Wimbledon before turning pro. In the later part of his career he launched a clothes range which had the sign (pictured) as the trademark.
2. There is one photo missing in this list. Whose is it? Give funda.
3. This player made his debut in a “friendship tour” but shot to fame after a match in 1992 at the Gabba. An injury caused by a Kenyan batsman forced him to retire earlier than planned. After retirement he has been employed by Standard Bank and has married a niece of another cricketer from the same country.
Who?
4. Whose picture is missing at the top of this list?
5. This post WW-2 cricketer lost many years to the war but still had time to make his mark as one of the finest of his generation . His friendship with another great Australian sporting hero is well known in cricketing circles. They became friends in India while serving the army and remained the best of friends.

Who?
6. Whose face completes this list? (very easy, your first guess will be right)
7. This person, a great friend of Ranjitsinhji, was also an eminent politician and was offered the throne of Albania, which he refused . In the later part of his career he became a mental patient and developed a horror of Indians, though he continued to lead a normal life. Who?
