Well it has been 72 years in the making, but an Indian has finally crossed the 300-run mark. It is a rare feat, almost like hitting a homer on every batting opportunity. Virendra Shewag is from my home town, is small man with a vicious bite in his bat. Anyway this is one in the eye for the Pakistanis who keep going on about how you need to eat meat
to play robust cricket! The only meat Viru has eaten is Tandoori’d Saqlain… (Cricket lovers among the readers will get the joke!)
You bet Om! The blurb from Akhtar about eating red meat had also pissed me off. And this might have to do with the “Failed PR about India” every body’s brother is telling India what they need to do next.
