PASSAGE: In the game of cricket, any side with a pair of bowlers of complementing
superior qualities prove invincible, The current generation would know Bhuvi,
Bumrah or Stare-Cummins pairs better than their own parents. So, let me dissect 3
pair that ruled the cricketing world during the fifties and early sixties. Brian Statham
and Fred Trueman of England proved to be a lethal combination that every batsman
wanted to avoid playing. Stantham was a bowler of immaculate accuracy, nagging
length and lyrical run-up. Oxymoronically, his virtues were the basis for his
misfortunes. Knowing that he would bowl ina manner that's unplayable, batsmen
were more smug in defending his balls than when playing an erratic bowler.
‘Trueman nicknamed as Fiery had a long delivery stride and made no bones about
his intentions to test batsman's physical and mental strength. The ball would flash
past the bat in moments of incredibility with the batsman thanking his Maker, if the
ball missed his limbs and occasionally the stumps.
1, Which one of the following sentences has an appropriate bold part that can
be replaced with lethal?
a. The series of never-ending bubbles rejoiced the children to any end
b, The never-say-die team won the tournament for the tenth time.
