Here in Amdocs, we have a Social Club where they have arranged for screening all the world cup matches on Big Screen using a projector. To inaugurate the world cup, we had a small cricket quiz on tuesday just before the west indies – pakistan match. Also, we had got Indian Team tshirts and caps to be given away as prizes. This was not a regular quiz for the regular quizzers. This was a quiz for the masses, just an excuse to give them tshirts and caps! The questions, almost all of the them very easy, are given below. I shall update this post with the answers a week later. Until then, if you are interested, leave the answers in the comments.
