When we look back at these times for Indian cricket, I wonder if we’ll call it the Gautam Gambhir era or the 2G scam.
Today has been a bad day for Deep's. Akash Deep - Injured. Arshdeep - Injured. Kuldeep - Not picked. Jagdeep - Dropped.
Sai Sudarshan has reached 40, thereby equalling Karun Nair's second highest score. 263 to go.
We urgently need a toss coach. Our captains can't make head or tails of it.
The sun never sets on the British empire. And Rajeev Shukla.

Yes yes, maybe he could he have taken a few more risks, but by and large, Jadeja's innings was pretty good. Soft ball, dead pitch, field spread out. He did what he could. You say what you want.
The good thing about Bangalore auto fares being raised is that now, when the driver refuses to come, you are saving more money.
Extras that India conceded: 31+32 = 63. Extras that England conceded: 12+18 =30. Difference: 33. Margin of defeat: 22. To go a bit deeper... India gave 11+25 = 36 byes. England gave 3. Difference: Same 33. Basically we said bye bye to victory.
Ok then. Let's up the stakes. 9 BATSMEN NEXT MATCH.
What a terrible end to a fantastic resistance from Siraj.
GO in. GIVE his best. GO out. That's JA-DE-JA for you.
Well deserved chai and samosa for Jadeja and Siraj.
Me: India can win. England: England will win. Jadeja: Er... draw is also possible.
Regardless of the situation, I always delude myself that India can still win. Makes it all much more thrilling.
