LOLzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gonna happen pretty soon. Infact, the name, Visaka, comes from Visaka Industries owned by none other than Mr.Vinod Kumar, Minister in Congress Govt. and son of Venkata Swami, MP. And they have "gracefully" agreed to rename the stadium as Rajiv Gandhi Stadium

Naah Gyanster

I am not joking. This has been decided long back. It is only a formality now. CM has to find time to do the honours.

Well, Indians are pretty confident after beating Pak but then the pace attack of England is pretty good. It is gonna be a tough series, for sure.

Reminds me of the ease with which we beat Sri Lanka and then struggled against Pollock, Ntini and Nel.

DORIS DAY - Que Sera Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

England suffers its first defeat. At the hands of Board President's XI.

I believe India should win the series. They are a much better team right now, though the bowling attack lacks a bit of expirience.

India Face Uphill Task To Save Nagpur Test

Nagpur, Mar 4 (PTI) Debutant Alastair Cook slammed a maiden unbeaten century as England batsmen showed great character to open up a huge overall lead of 367 runs and leave India with an uphill task of saving the first cricket Test here today.
...

The English batsmen showed no signs of any discomfort as they countered the famed spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh to completely push the hosts on the backfoot on a day which saw the home team spill as many as five catches.

The day clearly belonged to England as they took just seven balls in the morning to polish off the Indian first innings for 323 ...

It was a pathetic display by the Indians as the bowlers lacked the sting while the fielders made matters worse by grassing most of the chances that came their way. PTI

Mohali Test: Dravid, Kumble Give India A Foot In The Door

Mohali, Mar 12 (PTI) A captain's knock by Rahul Dravid and an inspired bowling performance led by Anil Kumble saw India turn the tables on England and put themselves in a position of victory on the penultimate of the second cricket Test here today.

After a timely 95 by Dravid and useful contributions from the lower order helped India take a slender first innings lead, Kumble struck thrice to leave England teetering at 112 for five in their second essay at the PCA stadium.

Kumble, who claimed his 500th wicket in England's first innings yesterday, picked the key wickets of opener Andrew Strauss, Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen to give India a foot in the door.

Dravid's innings was crucial to the Indian innings which had slumped to 153 for five at one stage before the captain led the rescue effort in the company of Irfan Pathan.

Pathan made a pugnacious 52 and added 76 runs for the sixth wicket to lift India out of danger.

Harbhajan Singh (36) and Kumble (32) saw the tail wag enough to surpass the England total of 300.

At close, England were 74 ahead and would be looking up to their skipper Andrew Flintoff, 16 not out, to stave off the Indians when play resumes on the final day tomorrow.

Geriant Jones was the other not out batsman on one. PTI
