Why is Jay's blue cap important?

Question 29

MediumOriginal question

Farhan: Did you see that? What a shot!

Jay: Hmm.

Farhan: Hmm? That was a six over the longest in the ground!

Jay: Lucky edge.

Farhan: It went over the stand, Jay. There's no such thing as a lucky edge over the stand.

Jay: The wind helped.

Farhan: There's no wind! The flags aren't moving.

Jay: There's a little wind.

Farhan: () You were very quiet when our team was winning. Now they're losing, you seem much happier.

Jay: I'm just enjoying the cricket.

Farhan: Jay. Why are you wearing a blue cap?

Jay: It's my favourite colour.

Farhan: Our team plays in red.

Jay: () I never said I supported your team.
