2, This object gave rise to a very unique form of entertainment in a city and country that is very well known for its cricket stadium. Identify the country and the cricket stadium?

l recommend this place highly for a nice vacation.


3. The cricket-stadium in question has a record in that region. What is that record?

By the way, to my great surprise no-body got the first part of my previous question correct !! So to be fair l think l am not going to give a BA although there were several maginficientto the second part.

If Alexander was born in Macedon, is it completely Greece, on the other hand if the answer is Macedonia then it couldnt be Greece could it??

Come on guys !

This was my question:

Thanks

P.S: Keep guessing, some of you will hit the right answer.

EDIT: However, Pella is in Greece.

1. The object looks to be a steelpan.

2. A quick search on the internet says that this musical instrument originated in Trinidad. The cricket ground there is Queen is Park Oval.

3. The record is that the most cricket matches have been played at Queen is Park Oval than anywhere else in the Carribean.

Is this what you're looking for?

The object is Treble pan & its from Tobago. Tobago is the smaller of the two island that make up the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. This country & city known for cricket & there r some places which will attract tourists. Queens Park Oval Stadium is located in the Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. This stadium is the largest West Indies & holds the record of hosting more Test matches than any other ground in the Caribbean. Apart from cricket, it also hosts international soccer & cycling events.

l agree with OIM.This is another tough one from you.

Pella is the capital of Macedon.
Greece was conquered by Macedon,therefore Greece was a part of Macedon, under two kings.Not sure though.

Edit - Oh Greece is just the name of the land,it is something like the Sub Continent,too many states falls under the banner of the land mass of Ancient Greece.For eg; Sparta,Athens,Thebes,Corinth etc.
Greece was not one state in those days.Pella was in Greece but within the boundaries of the kingdom of Macedon.

l think most of them answered your this question

for your previous question

Alexander the Greek king who was born in Pella in Macedonia

And Macedon or Macedonia was the name of a kingdom centered in the northernmost part of ancient Greece

MAn too difficult for me
