#8. Straightforward!




What excuse did Sri Lanka give for their loss when they lost the 2001 Champions Trophy(Not the current one, it was just a name of a Sharjah tournament in those days)?

Answer: They blamed their loss on their tight-fitting clothing. According to captain Sanath Jayasuria, their kit was too small and restricted their movement and mobility in the field. He described the team’s shirts as tight-fitting women’s blouses. The team’s tailor was subsequently instructed to make their kits one size larger but it was too late to avert defeat in the showpiece final! :D
Prachi and Sarath got this one right.
