Gary was right

Last night's match between India and Pakistan was good. Ouch, It hurt but actually not much. The euphoria of these matches like in the last few decades are no longer there with sanity prevailing and everyone at home had no qualms switching over to HBO to watch “The Bucket list”.

Speaking about cups and cup sizes, the digital trophy is a nice idea, where the winning captain can plug the gizmo in his cabinet and watch photos, videos and all the memorable moments of the series. I wonder if there is also a private viewing mo...
