One of the sponsors in the game is going to be my future employer in the UAE - those digital adboards are making me nervous as I am awaiting officially Letter after being shortlisted and finalizing the offer on phone call.

Dont worry. The sponsors are all good companies. If it is Aviation, you needn't worry at all. Logistics - those guys have good market standing. The 3rd major one too , haven't heard any negatives.

The delays usually happen on account of paperwork. All the best though for your new career move!

Babar Azam thinks he is Babar Shazam! In reality he is merely a Baar Baar Aaram guy (continuous rest).

The innings was very Kohli-esque in eating up deliveries and seemed out of his comfort zone. However, one can't simply pin the blame on Babar here, as the rest of the batting failed around him. Pakistan will need to regroup quickly here.


If you are talking of the pitches and bowling seen in 2000s, Virat would have been challenged. IMO, Pujara on Pakistan tracks would have been fun to watch.

Yeah he wouldve been scampering but Virat the most passionate of all Indian players, him leading an Indian team on Pakistani soil would’ve added a different, unseen dynamic to this game.

Looking at the way the game progressed in Dubai, India should have a tough time versus New Zealand in their next outing. While Pakistan does have Abrar, NZ is the one I would be most vary of, from an Indian perspective.

The other changes I would like to see:
1. Arshdeep for Rana
2. Varun/ Washington for Kuldeep/Jadeja- India making the same mistake as the CWC, as they have a pretty one dimensional attack. I would be happy if they dump Jadeja as he isnt the best in this format of the game.

Heinrich Klaasen ruled, there goes my Fantasy Cricket team!

Talking of Fantasy, anyone playing ICC Crictos? I haven't yet wound my head around how to exactly go about it- one needs to play with real money it seems!

Only for 1 match I think

Just a wee bit disappointed that the commentators are so hell bent upon talking about QDK. Rickelton has been a good player and there is absolutely no need to keep comparing him with QDK time and again.

And Nabi strikes first ball- De Zorzi goes! Loose dismissal that really.

Yes, ruled out to not to exacerbate the injury.
