Thanks to Rajmarie, who gave me the idea initially. But I am glad that the Test coverage has been solely on ICF and the one-dayer at cricinfo. Fits. I used to write a blog and then shut it down. Maybe I'll start writing one again.

Not at all. Anyone can mail them about their experiences and get published. Just, the more interesting the piece it is, the better.

Very weak to appear in Ranji Trophy as he pleases all because he has to get ready for the IPL. What a bonehead.

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Where is East Point College? My college days were over quite a few years back. Also, I spell my name 'Saurav' and not 'Sourav'.

Most of the juicy bits are not politically correct for a reputed site to publish. For example, the 'cheater, cheater' chants that were reverberating all around the stadium after Kohli was given out. They got resurrected after Raina got out and finally reached a crescendo after the umpire declared Jadeja out only to retract his decision. The way the crowd 'boo-ed' every West Indian wicket that fell. The way Hyatt was heckled by the crowd when they called him by every 'hotel' name they know. I can liberally say all that at ICF, but cricinfo has to edit out those bits. Thanks for telling me about the 'Fan Following' section. :-)

Arey he scored a century and all. With Manoj Tiwary and Wriddiman Saha gone, he's Bengal's only batsman. Without him, Bengal will be relegated to the Plate League.

Thanks JPK, Pak_fan_4_eva, Coverdrive, Mishragreat, Sidhoni, Carnish and Lurker for the kind words and smileys :-)

Without him, Bengal will be relegated to the Plate League.[/quote']And with him they still might. Stay tuned. That does not take away from the fact about all the wrong reasons he is playing Ranji after announcing his retirement from the FC game a couple of years back only to be back for his selfish gains i.e getting ready for the IPL.
