yesterday the TV channels showed arjun tendulkar practising @ the nets @ melbourne. his dad was bowling to him . it is not understood how this son of sachin goes with the indian team on every tour. arjun was seen in england in summer this year, & again here in australia. is BCCI bearing the cost of this boys tour; or we the taxpayers? therefore it is very essential to bring BCCI under the RTI act, so that such undue favours and wasteful expenditures are exposed. appears arjun tendulkar is the rahul gandhi of indian cricket. maybe he will become the youngest indian cricketer to make his debut for india & break his father's record. high time we are saved from this father-son duo who are coming in the way of many promising youngsters devoid of godfathers.

Bala, what are u doing here? You should have been in your school by now. Why do u type like your father?
In spite of all that is said about our bowlers, they have performed better than our batsmen on overseas tours. In the recently concluded series against England, our batsmen topped 299 just once in 8 attempts. Looking at this record, the team management would be advised to play the first test with 9 batsmen to have a reasonable chance of saving it; winning being out of question with an attack which is likely to break down during the test.

Naim ulla: Well said. The other two would definitely stop performing. ;-)
