India thrash England at Hyderabad

October 14, 2011

The new season thus begins. India had never won a game at this stadium, though a sample space of 3 isn’t flattering at all. Something was surely going to give. Aren’t we the world champions, after all? India won the toss and batted first. Oh wait! At first, there was no telecast at all. The [...]

5 things leading to 6

July 1, 2011
