Lurker Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Very smart answer. :D That was a serious answer Sriram :(( I have actually had the good fortune of meeting Paes but what I remember more is my meeting his Dad Dr. Vace Paes. Dr. Paes was the man who did my Medical Examinations(in Calcutta) when I was about to join TCS. I remember walking into his room and he so politely introduced himself as - Hello I am Dr. Paes, I shall be doing your Medical. Now what are the odds of someone with surname Paes? So I asked him - Are you the Dr. Paes? And he said with a smile - Yes I am, father of Leander. Few would know that Vace Paes was a fantastic hockey player in his own right and was the goalkeeper when India won bronze in 1972 Olympics. I was aware of this mainly due to my Dad's love for hockey and so I told him - No I meant arent you a bronze medalist in your own right? He was so taken aback and warmed up to me instantly. It was so amazing to listen to him talk about hockey, then and now. A meeting I shall never forget. xxx

Desi Cartman Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 mhari team dilli hai ... but its doesnt look too strong ...

Guest HariSampath Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 :haha::haha: Of course, I wish I do something substantial enough in my life for my kids to proud of that achievement, rather than go flaunting around that their "Dad put a former India captain on hold over phone". :D How about " Dad put a current Indian captain on hold".....u wanna talk to both the current Indian captains ?? head homewards for a month , I will have box seats for you for Chennai games :D :two_thumbs_up:
Desi Cartman Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 How about " Dad put a current Indian captain on hold".....u wanna talk to both the current Indian captains ?? head homewards for a month ' date=' I will have box seats for you for Chennai games :D :two_thumbs_up:[/quote'] Hari , since you know few players personally I might ask you a question that I have always wanted to get answered 1. Is there any match fixing going on 2. Who were the main culprits when the matches were getting fixed 3. Are the selectors taking $ to play the youngsters
Predator_05 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I think that Kaif's selection had more to do than batting. He is known to be a fine captain and he is a good fielder. In addition to all that, his looks must have been a factor in his selection as well. He is a really good looking guy. Total package.
Desi Cartman Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Who bought Agarkar? :D Patna XI :giggle:
Guest Yograj Singh Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Mohali, of course. but only if my Yuvi gets to bat at 3 or 4!
mhr123 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Love see the match between Kolkata and chennai atleast harisampat will not enjoy loosing to us...
Guest HariSampath Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Who bought Agarkar? :D No one bought him...he was part of the deal for anyone buying Ishant Sharma had to take Agarkar to balance the deal
Rajan Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 supporting dual teams? I am from Chennai but stay in bangalore. was looking for the possibility of supporting both teams, but in the end, my heart beats for Chennai despite the cr@p name the srinivasan led company has chosen.
King Tendulkar Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Mohali, of course. but only if my Yuvi gets to bat at 3 or 4! Captain Yuvi can bat where he wants. I am suprised as his dad you are not pushing his claims for captain. Looks like I will have to start the campaign going
Desi Cartman Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Hari , since you know few players personally I might ask you a question that I have always wanted to get answered 1. Is there any match fixing going on 2. Who were the main culprits when the matches were getting fixed 3. Are the selectors taking $ to play the youngsters Hari , why did u ignore my post :((
