I thought only I knew

Sidin Vadukut, in his humorous article on CricInfo titled Double-century? I've done better, explains how he has scored more runs in a single innings than Sachin Tendulkar if all forms of cricket are taken into account. This is Sidin at his best. Go read the full article if you haven't. You'll have plenty to laugh about.

Here is a short excerpt from the article on how he mastered EA's cricket game for PS2:

But then I soon discovered a loophole in the logic of the game. First you reduced the game difficulty from five stars (self-root-canal procedure with pencil) to one star (Danish girls primary school) and then put a fielder at deep cover-point. Then you bowled on a length just outside off stump. The batsmen would hit it up in the air straight to the fielder at deep cover-point.

And then again and then again and then again and then again. And not just the West Indies team.

I was surprised when I read this. I was the one who discovered the secret bowling/fielding tactics! I was the one who taught this trick to my cousins and friends. Back then, I thought only I knew. Damn!
