Redundancy alert

David Lloyd says Bangladesh are off to a "cacophony of noise". Aren't all cacophonies of noise? Unless its being used metaphorically, as in "a cacophony of conflicting fashions". Or am I missing something?

Correction: Oldest error in the book, confusing a redundancy with an oxymoron. I did it in the older title. Thanks to Maithreyi for correcting me.

Shooting Ramiz in a barrel

Picking holes in the Raja's commentary is easy. Too easy. Used to be fun and sometimes can still provide entertainment. As in "that was a good, decent, simple catch". Makes you wonder, when did the attributes of catches become those of family figures?
