Well, well, well. We told them so. Sports India is prescient.

Why exactly are we playing Bhuvi? We know what he can give us. Try the youngsters and if they are better choose them or else go back to Bhuvi.

Interesting. So, Rohit, Rahul, Pujara/Gill, Kohli, Iyer/Vihari, Pant, Jadeja, Thakur, Bumrah, Shami, Siraj/Umesh would be my choice. Of these, I am thinking of going with Pujara and Iyer. But, I'll be fine with Vihari. And, if Pujara's runs have been scored against weak oppositions and he does not h...

Jwala says Gopichand's claims are lies . Gopichand has been the original difference-maker in Indian badminton. His academy has been pivotal. That said, exaggerating and trying to claim all credit hints at some insecurity in him. I do not know why. Is it because he does not have as much as a monopoly...

No, no, it means they took tons of valium and will be sleeping for 50 years from today or more ...

R.P. Singh and Ishant Sharma also lost pace. That has been the bane of Indian cricket. Hope Bumrah, Shami can carry on at full tilt for a few more years.

Irfan and Zaheer also lost pace later on in their career.

Experience. Badminton always has close games at this level. As does TT, etc. All of these guys have been in such pressure-cooker situations for several years now.

What is his record when he was fit at the FO? I think the odds are overwhelming that he would not have made it into the main draw even if he played a few matches. Clay is also gruelling in that the rallies are much longer. His body was perhaps not ready. I think he did the right thing.

I have ambivalence about Kohli’s captaincy. Every human being is flawed. He has his plusses along with his minusses. I think the plusses are more in my book.

This is ageing well, isn't it?

Yep! Hats off! To the team. And, to the ornate brute!!!

Neeraj's gold hands down. No questions about the other things.

Hmm. So, she is not in the pool. Thanks for setting the record straight. I must say that the pool is then quire narrow and more people should be monitored. Maybe we do not have the money to do so?

He is going into the FO just to earn money. Not that I am criticizing that. He perhaps only cares about the hard court season.

Go India!
