@Naresh Kumar: well in multiplayer games, players say things like POWNAGE - which just means that they are dominating the other player. The cartoon says "Bowlage - the ownage(meaning domination) of the batsman by the bowler". I'm not that great at explaining, but hope that helps.

Is this cartoon intentionally meant to be not obvious? if it is, then success rate is 100% .
