IMO india is going to have tough time in the ODI series and also its the wrong time to declare the ODI squad. Dropping Ganguly and Dravid will prove costly to India esp the younger players dont have exp of playing in Australia. The young players are not used to australian climate and the pitch conditions. Dropping Dravid was shock to me. He is the only player who can consolidate the innings with can get runs at a fine pace in the ODI’s and no other player can do that. BCCI should re-think their strategy. They should have the mix of youth and experience and should not depen entirely on youth.
Declaring ODI squad before 4th test will definetly demolarise the big three and will definetly effect their performance in the all important test match. VVS Laxman should have been included in the ODI squad to gain the pshycological advantage.
Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla

Haaa a sigh of relief for JUMBO when he picked Andrew Symonds wicket. Its the wicket number 600 for Anil Kumble. The wicket came at the right time when Symonds looked dangerous. He was consolidating the Australian innings after a collapse with Gilli. Australia are now 6 down and are fighting.
Here is an extract ” Kumble to Symonds, OUT, wicket No. 600 for Anil Kumble! He fires in a shorter, faster one just outside off stump, Symonds is hurried and cramped into his cut shot, gets a thick outside-edge into Dhoni’s gloves, he fails to snap it up but Dravid is sharp at slip, moving to his right and holding the ball after it balloons up in the air, much to India’s relief and Kumble’s satisfaction! They appeal and appeal and finally Asad Rauf lifts the finger, and Kumble explodes in celebration” from cric info website.
Kudos to the Jumbo……………..

Its been months since I had a good breakfast and I put the blame on the MMTS. Today I decided to have a good, satisfactory breakfast. I started off @ 8:00 and drove for half an hour to reach Chutneys @ Punjagutta. There I ate Babai Hotel Idli and Steamed Dosa. The idli was so delicious and soft that it slipped into when I ate it. There was lot of butter on it and in addition it was served with Karampodi, - Powder made of spices and coriander leaves. To compensate the amount of butter in the Idly I ate Steamed Dosa. After a long time I had a very good breakfast. It was costly breakfast though..

After waiting for 2 months, finally I went to a movie yesterday and that to a dumb movie Dubai Seenu. Well I am not a movie freak but I generally watch all the movies within a week of their release with my friends. Since many friends left Hyderabad for studies and jobs I was left alone. Seeing a movie is not special but I drove the car with my family to the theatre. Thats something special.

Ahem…..!!!! Well it seems that the news channels dont have new items to show, so they are coming with irrelevant polls. For the past week or so, the major news channels are debating over this issue, who is the superstar Amitabh Bachchan or RajniKanth. Well they both are the superstars in their own industries. I dont think one could have any sort of comparision between AB and Rajni. They both belong to different film industries and different regions. One is from Bollywood and other hails fromTamil film industry. I do agree that both are superstars, but these kind of debates in News channels could rise unrest among fan clubs.
What’s the readers views on this topic ?

Yesterday, for the first time I travelled by MMTS train from Hitec City to Malakpet. The ticket costs only 6/- which is almost 5 times less than what it takes by road. The train journey was comfortable and luckily one my frens was with me till Secunderabad. The entire journey lasted for 30 mins and it was comfortable. NO Jams… No horn sounds nothing. If this improves further, the major problem of Hyderabad would be definetly solved
