Movie Trivia:
A- Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar
B- Abre Los Ojos
C- Penelope Cruz
D- Tom Cruise
E- Cameron Crowe
F- Jerry Maguire
G- Vanilla Sky

Cricket trivia:
A - South Africa
B - Azhar (Azhar was kicked out of his captain's job)
F - Lance Klusener (Kolkota test)
C - Barry Richards
D - wristy leg-glances (flicks)
E - right over left. When right-handed batsmen play this stroke they originally start holding the bat in such a way that left wrist is over right wrist in the handle, but during the completion of this stroke the right wrist is firmly over the left wrist and thus the name.
