Fat chance.
There's an earnest push for Ramesh Powar on Bored. Looks like they want him in the test side, for Bhajji, for Mishra, for Ojha, for you, for me; just bring him in at any cost. Let one of the IPL franchises pay for his return.
When I started writing this post, the initial headline was 'Pawar to play for India'. And how after Bored's push of Ramesh Powar, everyone took notice and his case was reopened after more than two years; but a clerical error in the BCCI picked Sharad Pawar to play for India.
Following which the uniform was changed to safari suits.

My preparations for the first test.
Walking through Koregaon Park, Pune, this game was served to me. I took pictures, bowled 4, talked, "who is your favourite player?" They asked me to stay but I was just passing through.

Afridi: Smart or smarting?
Why did he bite that ball? He wanted that suspension bad, real bad, so bad he didn’t want to lose a T20 to Oz. And as the T20 Champions that is not an option. Def not if you are captain. Afridi knows: this team can't win a test, a one dayer, a T20, heck, if they tried, they'll lose at book cricket. This is not a team. It is an ego trip.
Then again, there's another theory: he’s a bloody idiot. Does he drink and drive – if he does, what would it be – cricket ball juice. Picture Boom Boom stick a straw into a ball and drive. Weird but then so is he.
Though not half as weird as MoYo. But that's an altogether different story. Looks like someone pulled his leg, he hurt it, and pulled out of the 5th one dayer.
