Thats awesome dude!!!
Ooh a bit harsh don’t you think? Not been following the media circus in India but, some of the things that have come out from both the sides are a bit disgusting.
The real failure though is what would have been one of the best test matches (the best has to be Edgbaston ‘05) of our time is now widely regarded as one of the worst test matches for all the wrong reasons.
Excellent!
Now why didn’t I think of that ?
