I read this in the morning.
He is right.
We are just about winning every series so how can we be consistent

My prediction - we will win last test to win series by 2-0 and still we will remain inconsistent!

3rd Test IND Vs NZ
India batted well at the beginning(Sachin, Viru , Dravid) and the middle order went for a toss.
Well played Bhajji & Dhoni
End of Day 1 IND 375/9 in 90 overs
India's score of 375/9 is the highest they have made in a single day's play in Test cricket

First Indian sports personality to be portrayed at Madame Tussauds

.

I guess its free publicity for MRF. Or did they pay money for the logo on wax bat?

Was fortunate to see yesterdays defeat. What a smile it brings on my face

Hey Mod,

Can we have a new poll in IPL team's. Since this poll is too old.

Harbajan Singh has reportedly sold his name to a Brand Manager for licensing it out

Does this mean all Tela-wallahs will have to pay 25ps for every Bhajji sold to the Brand Management Company?

Will this also affect Puri Bhaaji by extension?

Somehow I do not like the SA brand of Cricket except for A.B.De Villers. They are the most boring bunch of cricketers you will ever see.

Sorry to differ here .. But they have some very good talents and are a pretty balanced team ..

Albie Morkel and Boucher are doing grt in the lower middle order .. Gibbs is slowly but surely getting back to his old form .. and Duminy, what a find he has been for SA ... In the bowling department I love to see Botha ( sad to know today that he is reported again for a suspected bowling action) , Dale steyn is exciting .. Kallis a bit fat but a solid allrounder and look out for van der Merwe, he is an awesome batsman who can bowl intelligently ..

I think they are a superb side .. Sorry again for not agreeing to your words ..

Looks like success & money has gone into the head of Dhoni & Harbhajan - they skipped the Padma Shri function & didn't send an apology

Dhoni, Harbhajan's casualness flayed

Relax. These are not good times to have a negative leave balance. Give my wishes to your mom.

Will catch up the next time we are in the same town.

The squard for World cup T-20 has been announced.

Squad: MS Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Pragyan Ojha, Irfan Pathan.

IMO Abhishek Nayyar deserved a place in this squard due to his all round abilities ..........
