I was sitting at home and watching television. More often than not, you watch some really strong advertisements in the lead-up to an India-Australia series. The advertisement said: 'It is winter out there, and summer out here, so get ready to feel the heat Down Under.' I took it very seriously. I didn't pack a single jacket only to realise that it's pretty cold here. What they meant was that it was related to cricket, and not the weather."
G_B_ Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 yeah pretty dumb adverts considering most of India is pretty hot even in the winters. There are places in the north where it is snowing, But for most of the country i would say 25-30
J P K Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Speaking exclusively to HT on arrival at Melbourne s Tullamarine Airport, Dhoni didn’t read much into Warne and McGrath s comments questioning the form and fitness of India's frontline pacers Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma. In fact, he didnt read them at all. Shut it out When told of the mind games gauntlet laid down by the Aussies, Dhoni was caught unawares. “ We have a very good way of ignoring all of that (the mind games), we’ve asked all the hotels we stay in not to deliver newspapers to our rooms. That works well ,” he said. Of course, reading the local dailies does have it benefits — it keeps you up to date on the happenings in the opposition camp. When told of the news that had dominated the back pages across Australian dailies on Thursday — rookie pacer James Pattinson giving a serious injury sacre to veteran Ricky Ponting with a ball that struck him on the gloves and forced him off during nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday — the India skipper chuckled. “ They’re doing our job for us ,” he said jokingly http://www.hindustantimes.com/Specials/Cricket/India-vs-Australia-2011/Chunk-HT-UI-IndiaVSAustralia2011-TopStories/Captain-Dhoni-s-way-of-ignoring-the-mind-games/SP-Article10-785856.aspx
