First ODI, ICL, Kerala Road conditions and Ash

India meets England in the first of seven ODI's (yawn). God knows how these people get the energy and zeal to play the same opponents 7 times within a space of 2 weeks.

Todays encounter at Rose Bowl looks to be a wash-out with rain forecast.



ICL has announced that it has signed close to 50 players. They are not exactly the creme-de-la-creme of Indian cricket as Kapil has stated. Looks more like a list of some guys who coulndt make it big - LR Shukla, T Kumaran etc - though I was surprised to see Dinesh Mongia signing up. I thought he did have a future in ODI's.



The road conditions in Kerala have to be the worst in the world. There is no day I dont swear at that **** PWD minister of ours while i negotiate each pothole. The minister seems to be interested only in making money for his son and daughter. Incidentally it is a known fact that Kuruvilla and Finance Minister Thomas Isaac rarely use roads and often use trains or planes to reach their destinations. These people ought to be taken in a two wheeler across the Ambalamukku - Muttada road 5 times a day, for a month, as punishment.



Mrs Abhishek Bachchan has said NO to KJo's latest flick on accounts of the role demanding her to be sexy. Talk of double standards. On one hand she has signed up for Pink Panther II with Steve Martin, replacing Beyonce who was in the previous edition. The role would definitely require Mrs. Bachachan to expose. But then thats Hollywood!
