PT3. FOUR GREATEST MYSTERIES IN INTERNATIONAL CRICKET

III. Bermuda logo

Bermuda is a tiny country in the north Atlantic Ocean of moderate cricketing abilities. Unlike some of their accomplished neighbours to the south-west in the Caribbean, the Bermudians have never really been a cricketing force. Their moment in the sun came in 2007, when they qualified for the cricket World Cup.

Bermuda did very poorly, of course. The highlight of their World Cup came when Dwayne Leverock, one of the largest men to ever play international cricket, took a blinder of a diving catch to dismiss Robin Uthappa. Since then, Bermuda have struggled to reach those heights.

So far, so good. But look closely at the logo of the Bermuda Cricket Board. Look at it closely, and if you have a nose for the arcane, you will immediately spot the chilling secrets. First of all the crossed bats form an unmistakable "X marks the spot"-type symbol. Secondly the red cricket ball looks like a bullet hole that has missed the centre of the logo.

All of which could be blamed on coincidence. But then look closely at the space below the crossed bats. What do you…? EXACTLY. A triangle.

Bermuda. Triangle. Gunshots. X marks the spot.

You don't need me to tell you the implications of this "coincidence".
