Apple Tom looks a quality allrounder. He should be grromed for test format

Guy's name is Eden Apple Tom!


Found an interesting tidbit about this name. "Eden (Edhen)" is his given name. "Apple Tom" is his dad's name. Apparently his grandfather was a big science enthusiast, hence named his son ...

A 6-2,6-2 match going for 2 hours got to be something. At this age in boys, the physical aspect between 14 and 17 is huge. I am glad Rohan started this young so he can gain a lot of experience. Can't wait to see him reach greater heights!

Glad everything turned out to be good in the end, Suresh. Take care!

Shatrughan Sinha is a lifetime Vice-President? I have never heard him ever talk about Tennis. How did we tolerate these guys for so long?

You are quite an entertainer, Prasen

I am not sure if AP and Telengana are tracing and testing enough...

I can't vouch for the entire AP, but according my friends, my hometown (Eluru in West Godavari district) is doing a phenomenal job. When AP numbers spiked up overnight, Eluru went from 0 to 15 cases (all Tablighi returnees ...
