Who-zatt: a comprehensive world cup quiz book

GAUTAM BHIMANIwas born on an auspicious cricketing date,25 June, the date India played her first ever Test in 1932, also the date India won the World Cup in 1983. Cricket has been in his consciousness ever since. Six months after he joined ESPN in 2001, an off-beat story on the whacky ways to watch cricket sparked off a trend. Bhimani has covered international cricket in every single Test playing country other than Pakistan, as well as non- traditional venues like Sharjah, Toronto and Holland.

NAVNEET PRABHU, a media professional in Mumbai, is an avid quizzer and sports aficionado. With a passion for sports and cricket in particular, he has worked on the sports desks of reputed television networks in India covering high profile sporting events along the way. He has also been associated with various quiz competitions in the capacity of a researcher.

# Which is the ONLY venue at the 2011 World Cup named after a current country premier? # Who represented England in the 1992 World Cup and was in the Zimbabwe squad in 1983 but never got a single game? # Who won India’s first ever World Cup man-of-the-match award? # Which venue at the 1996 World Cup was named after a former India Hockey Captain? # Which Delhi Ranji player went on to represent a different country at the 1996 World Cup? WHO-ZATT is full of these teasing deliveries and several hundred more for you to face as you take guard, from simple full tosses and tempting half volleys to tougher bouncers and even a few unplayable googlies
