Kiwi's playing well in 2nd test

I agree. Tendulkar "inspite of his saying that he is playing for the love of the game" is either playing for money and fame or utterly confused about when to retire. People around him should help him decide.

BTW what do you think of our new batting sensation Unmukt Chand?

Firstly, I fell over laughing when I read the word Unmukt, and secondly, I have never heard of him.

You seem happy with him anyway, and that is the main thing

Oh Maksi,

Unmukt meaning uninhibited and full of vigor. He is U19 India captain who recently won U 19 world cup in Australia. He scored unbeaten 111 ( hit 6 sixes and 7 fours) to lift the cup beating Australia in the final. He has also hit a brilliant hundred in the quandragular seriese final beating australia in australia. Great Bat, absolutely brilliant temperament and a cool head in a pressure situation.

And google for Ian Chappels article about Unmukt.

Sounds like a very exciting prospect admitedly.

I will wait for a cold long wet winter night and then I will browse through your recommendations and see what this fella is about.


I hope he hasn't got totally off the boil by then though mind

Yeah I am also waiting for his performance with India A in two weeks. He will do good. The guy is extremely talented batsman and will not fail. He is destined to play at the big stage.

There are two more young Indians I am looking forward too. Baba aparajit and Harmeet singh from U19 team.

BTW has any one heard of Tendulkar retiring after this test?

I heard a rumour from a colleague.

Nevermind guys that was a prank. Tendulkar is going to stick around for now.

BTW New Zealand is playing excellent cricket ATM. Good job Southee.

some batsman start with a bang and from their onwards go in a downhill ( gambhir and raina being gd examples). and some start very poorly, but always shows sign of improving from innings to innings.
Kohli has showed it. he started with a ave of 16 in the 3 matches in WI, and from their he has not looked back. Has improved his average considerably. Im sure this guy is going to be a player with an ave of 55+.

Yeah Viru, Kohli is a class act and will serve the team for a few years. Unmukt should be included asap as should Baba.
