hmmm..at last Dada is down and out hopefully forever, provided Laxman or Yuvi do not suffer any injuries.
Well, first they included him in test squad without any reason, then dropped him again without reason, so it clearly shows that all this was pre-planned.
"Bakrey ki maa kab tak khair manati.." ;-) no Dalmiya, so no Ganguly simple.
No worries, its good for him and the country.

Kumble has again showed why he is such a dangerous bowler at home, when Murli and Dilshan were complaining abt the SG balls, Kumble was busy taking wickets :-) Type of ball doesn't effects Kumble's style of bowling, give him any ball any day on any surface, he will not spin it :-) simple.

So far all seems to be on track, 'good job' Mr.Chappel.

Real test of nerves will be against Pakistan, they are on a high after morale boosting wins over England (though 3-2 score line is deceptive).
If we can contain Inzy and send back their openers early on, only then we stand a chance.

South Africa and Australia are playing boring cricket, I've never liked SA players, they r plain n bore (except Klusener/Rhodes/Brian MacMillan).
Rudolph played a commendable inning to save the match.

At last wifey is here, and still overcoming jetlag :-)
Probably on weekend, will go out n explore some places nearby!!!!

all in all, the cricket we played was too gud.. very professional.. and neat.. but, this is home.. where we excel easily..

Surely last series for ganguly unless there is a miracle and may be there is a compromise planned worked out btwn the board and ganguly that he would ask for a voluntary retirement one after this series.
and yes,it was great fun to meet you after a year.oh yes i forgot that Food,coffee(believe me it was best of the year for me) and tea at your place was excellent.

@Boo::Details..wat details?? ;-)

@Prasad:: Everything is possible with BCCI.

@Mirage:: Now he is back, lets see how he fares now.
And yes biwi ke haath ka khaana is like heaven.

@Manu:: right, whether he plays or not this is going to be his last series.

@Amit:: Hey, it was just GREAT to meet you yaar, thanks for coming. Come again and again :-)

@Arunima:: hmm...he WAS good, has scored some good one-day knocks but in past 3 yrs he hasn't performed at all, guys like Badani/Dinesh Mongia/Reetineder Sodhi/Bangar just couldn't play more coz of him.
He should go now.
