The whole nation is going ga-ga over the World Cup and suddenly everyone seems to have become quite cricket-savvy! So we put on our quizzing cap and throw a volley of basic cricket terms to some of Tellywood's beauties. While almost all tripped at some point, there definitely was one clear winner! Nevertheless, bottom line is - All are cricket enthusiasts and seriously hope that India wins.

Here's the verdict of tellychakkar.com's third umpire!

Ami Trivedi

1. Full toss - Kind of bowling

2. Yorker - don't know

3. Maiden over - No runs in an over

4. Clean bowled - stumps fall down

5. Non-striker - the player who doesn't bat and is on the other side

FINAL SCORE - 3 / 5

Rucha Gujrati

1. Full toss - Direct ball which doesn't bounce

2. Yorker - Don't know

3. Maiden over -making no runs in an over

4. Clean bowled - Stumped out

5. Non-striker - Not a good batsman

FINAL SCORE - 3 / 5

Mansi Verma

1. Full toss - Direct ball hits the bat

2. Yorker - Don't know

3. Maiden over - No runs made in an over

4. Clean bowled - Stumped and out

5. Non-striker - The batsman who is on the other side

FINAL SCORE - 4 / 5

Shubhaavi K

1. Full toss - Direct ball which doesn't bounce

2. Yorker - when the ball comes straight to your feet

3. Maiden over - No runs at all in an over

4. Clean bowled - Ball hits the stump directly and you are out

5. Non-striker - 5. the second Batsman near the bowler on the filed

FINAL SCORE - 5 / 5

THE ACTUAL ANSWERS

1. Full toss - Pitch that reaches the batter without a bounce

2. Yorker - A (usually fast) delivery that is pitched very close to the batsman.

3. Maiden over - Set of six pitches delivered by a bowler in which no earned runs are scored

4. Clean bowled - Bowled, without a delivery first hitting the bat or pad

5. Non-striker -The batsman standing at the bowling end
