Stop this rubbish drama about culture etc man. If you are such a proponent of Indian culture what do you wear to office or even when u go outside? Dhotis and Angavastras?? Forget outside the house, I am sure the likes of you who rant about culture and other things- even your night dress would be a western outfit. The fact that you are discussing cricket and related shows what a great follower of Indian culture you are!!! I mean guys like you are plain hypocrites who cant stand others' popularity and give Bhashans. Is Mandira some kind of exibhit of Indian culture or what? She is a model and will only do as required by models. Have u seen the likes of Mallika Sherawat, Bipasha Basu, Aishwraya Rai in Indian movies? Do they dress up to promote Indian culture? When inside India no one follow Indian culture why are u giving this rules for others? The whole idea of adding Mandira into these shows is to spice things up. If you are such a great devotee of culture etc., then dont watch the Extrea Innings and Just watch the match!! Infact dont even watch the match. Do something "culturally active"

Hey mandira has never appeared with sunil gavaskar & ravi shastri.Please don't humiliate these legends who hav done India proud on many ocassions
Its real pity that people can be attracted to indian cricket only when such things are done. Everyone knows cricket is a game where too much money is involved and such cheap publicity is expected. I think she should sincerely think about this and stop becoming a display stuff. Everyone knows what she is to cricket and world around knows about indian culture and tradition. Mera bharat mahaan.

People in India have been crazy about cricket for about two decades now. Just study the crowd attendance statistics of 1996 world cup. There was full house fo Kenya vs Zimbabwe match. That time there was no extra innings and surely nothing featuring Mandira Bedi or any actress/model. This model business started only during the ICC min world cup in 2002 (Ruby Bhatia featured in that). So no one needs Mandira to create interest in cricket. This is only to add spice and I guess there is nothing for her to think about. If you are so worried about culture and tradition then see how many of ur own relatives/friends/acquaintances you can stop from follwong western stuff. Forget others!! Are you working for some Veda paata shaala or some MNC from the west?? Stope this drama about culture. Indian culture is more about Dharma, honesty etc. WE are corrupt in many places and expect Mandira to revive culture by wearing clothes as you want her to wear in TV shows. What a farce man!!! By the way, what do you wear? Pants and shirts or dhotis and angavastras? I guess this is what Indian culture is in its present form. When it comes to yourself do what u feel comfortable doing, when it comes to others give lectures on culture, intergrity etc. Why dont u consider joining politics if you havent done so already. You have the necessary hypocrisy to make it big there !!!
CONCEPTUALLY SHE HAS BEEN THE BEST. INDIAN SAREE IS LONG 2 COVER THE 'SUBJECT',SHORT AT PLACES TO ATTRACT ATTENTION. LET MANDHIRA PERSONIFY OUR CULTURE. I M SURE THE WORLD WILL B BOWLED OVER BY INDIA. Col SK suri. 'SAARI MEN SAARI BAATEN COVER HO JATI HEIN' I WILL WATCH W.CUP CLOSELY!
