Ali Bin Nasser from Tunisia, and Bogdan Dotchev from Bulgaria. The last time these
two communicated with each other was on 22 June 1986. However, they didn’t do a
good job at that, and haven’t talked to each other since and have both railed against
the other in interviews with the media. What was the reason for their falling apart?

Ball 1: Batsman 1 taps it to the outfield, run three and the throw is
wild and the overthrow goes for 4. 7 runs done. Match is won. The
batsman is on 101. But wait, the umpire calls ‘one short’ as one of the
batsmen, while trying to complete a run, didn’t put his bat across the
crease in a hurry to go back for another run. So that’s 6 runs made, but
the strike is rotated and Batsman 1 still has a century to his name.

What tradition?
An XY is an American sports tradition which began in the 80s
when a New York Giants player performed it on his coach Bill
Parcells because he was angry at the coach's treatment of him,
but has now evolved to a celebration of victory.
A baseball variation is to give a teammate who has just hit a
walk-off home run, or a pitcher who has thrown a no hitter, an XY
while they are giving a post game interview.
Many teams do not use the X, but substitute it, for eg, with water.

"The outpouring of grief, wonder and shared devastation that
followed X's death had the same breadth and intensity as the
reaction to the killing of a world figure: some bold and popular
politician, like John or Robert Kennedy, or a spiritual leader, like
Martin Luther King Jr. But X was a creature of poetic political
metaphor, and his spiritual consciousness was directed inward, as
a way of nurturing and widening his creative force. That was what
made the impact, and the difference — the shock of his
imagination, the penetrating and pervasive traces of his genius —
and it was the loss of all that, in so abrupt and awful a way, that
was mourned last week, all over the world."
- Jay Cocks, TIME, 22 December 1980
