@ShashiTharoor . Congress is equally resposible for any issues in Kerala. This is a cheap political point, the type that got us here.

Bravo to Rahul Dravid for his great innings today. Where is India's next Rahul? Or, do we only have youngsters with "attitude" who can't play T20 or ODI or tests.

Missed watching most of the Champions Trophy as was very busy. Bravo to the performance by New Zealand. They did not complain about all the injury trouble they had. They beat Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England ... a great performance. If life was fair, their captain would not have picked up that injury and they would have won the final ...

Amal wishes best of luck for Pakistan in the Champions trophy semis and final. Because, they played the best game for India, much better than the Indian cricket team did in the tournament.
