This country misses Ajay Jadeja or does it not ?

shared by Anil Singh on Wednesday, October 06, 2010

Yesterday, Indian news channels were buzzing with the India's win over Australia at Mohali. Just move from one channel to the other and one will find a panel of experts discussing the win and of course, the VVS.

On NDTV India, Sunil Gavaskar and Ajay Jadeja were doing the honors. Sunny, though at his sarcastic best when taking on British and Aussie commentators; looked a bit subdued. i think, the part of the damp sunny was the not so fluent anchor, but the presence of Jadeja was affecting Sunny too. Jadeja -- Someone who speaks his mind without much laag-na-lapet (approximately means ' With no value Addition on aesthetics')

Jadeja has been with NDTV for more than a year now, and most of the times I find him very accurate with his predictions. In the recently concluded Sri Lanka Test series, in the second match when all the experts , Indians and others alike, were saying Sri Lanka has chance, that too during the lunch break discussion; Jadeja pitched a very non-ambiguous stance in India's favor.

I even go a step further, i believe, if the match fixing incident would not had happened Jadeja would prove to be a good captain too. What do you say ?

australia lost mohali test on another dustbed...

shared by straight point on Wednesday, October 06, 2010

Let's get one thing straight: losing to India in the subcontinent is no disgrace.

Plenty of great Australian teams have returned home from those dry dustbeds with their tails between their legs.

no it's not me... this is what ben dorries said who's article got published in herald sun, australia... thanks for the hat tip by friend and fellow blogger bala...

back to the dust-bed...

i wonder which test match ben reported and herald let it publish... so although the date of article seems october 6, 2010, but correct me if i am wrong... is he referring to the same mohali test that went on till almost the tea of fifth day... the same test match in which pace bowlers took 25 wickets out of 39 wicket that fell during the course of match with two run outs being other mode of dismissals...?
