ICF interviews maniac (Questions Thread)

[Gollum]

This is the third interview in this series, first two interviewees being @rahulrulezz and @Mariyam. For those who haven't checked them out, here are the links...

Sorry for the delay, since site was facing issues .

 

Up next is @maniac who has been a member here for almost a decade. We can't confirm or deny whether he is in any way related to a baba here, that aside he is ICF's funny guy, a pure entertainer like Rohit Sharma, and a calm head unlike Rayudu. He knows his cricket, his Sharmas, SRH, Tollywood, RSS shakhas and probably the only poster here who doesn't hate the Guntur Punter. He prides himself in possessing an astute eye for talent, though facing diminishing returns of late....Raval/Renshaw, like seriously? For some he is panauti #1, for others he is someone who has access to the latest IPL scripts. Here is your chance to know him better. 

 

Fire away your questions, stay classy and avoid trolling.

Bhai could you be more specific? As in tests or ODIs, 'your team' meaning all time Indian XI, Asia XI, world XI or just his favorite XI. 

 

PS: Same goes to others, please be more specific so that we can frame the questions better.
