Zimbabwe Cricket Photo Quiz

You guys are experts at playing the timezones so that I miss questions.

Well, that's untrue This question was open for more than 24 hours, so no timezone issues there. And I did not even reply after figuring out the answer soon after I saw the question too and kept it open for others to latch onto...

Keith Ransberg Kondo is correct.

The images are Keith FC in Scotland, the church in the small flemish village of Ransberg (I never knew Keith Kondo's second name) and a hammerhead, "Kondo" in Shona. According to my dictionary "Kondo" also means "bagworm", a moth which develops in a sort of bag (if you believe wikipedia)--I don't know what kind of bagworm Crimson was showing us, or if he used a different dictionary

I'm using the same online dictionary you had shared sometime back: http://vashona.com/en/translator

This says "bagworm ( hammerhead )" as the translation for kondo. I assumed it was talking about hammerhead worms ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipalium ) and not hammerhead sharks with that description. I could be wrong though. Just thought Zimbabweans talking about hammerhead sharks could be less likely than them talking about hammerhead worms. Hammerhead worm in Zimbabwe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDi-k0x9cZg.

There is nothing linking bagworms and hammerhead worms though. May be Shona experts here can enlighten us?

[foreignfield]

Oh, I get it, your link is to the "translator" while I used the "dictionary" of the same site where I got the two meanings (shark) and the insect which constructs a baglike case (bagworm): http://vashona.com/en/dictionary/sna/kondo

This also explains why you had "kugotsi" for back of the head where the dictionary only had "gotsi".

Not sure which instrument is more reliable

[CrimsonAvenger]

Aha! That explains the confusion. I'll check both from now on

539. A bit of a "statistical" tinge to the latest photo quiz question. Also a way to bring the current skipper into this thread. What connects them?

No. Apart from Cremer and to an extent his companion from the original question image, others do / did not have much of a batting pedigree.

This is pretty tough. And has got everything to do with a unique statistical achievement. If you recognize who the first guy in the second image I shared, you should be through with some progress already...

One of Bhuvneshwar's claims to fame is that his first international wicket in all three modes was claimed by bowling the opposition batsmen. Does this have anything to do with the question. I know who the SL player is in the second image.
