Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is fair and square and its meaning is “honestly, fairly, straightforwardly, by the book, according to the rules”.
Example Sentence: “We would like to make an official announcement. Mr. Rahul Dravid has paid ₹35,000 personally to our groundsmen,” the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) announced in the press box after the game. During his time, Dravid was known to play the game fair and square and things haven’t changed one bit even after so many years. The tip was a token of appreciation for not dishing out an under-prepared track where the divot would explode and the match would end inside three days.
