The fair way to settle the debate between Venkatesh Prasad and Aakash Chopra is a one-on-one 5 over match, played during lunch in the Third Test.
With commentary by KL Rahul & Shubman Gill.
Woke up at 10:15 AM.
Thought I'd get ready and settle in to a day of Head vs India.
Didn't expect Jadeja and Ashwin to put all the Australian batters to bed by 10:25AM.
India will bat now.
Depending on how they go - *some* Aussie journos can figure whether:
- India doctored the pitch
OR
- Australia bowled brilliantly
There are no other options.
Ravindra Jadeja is *almost* a perfect cricketer.
Excellent bowler, batter, fielder, celebrator.
And then he randomly bowls no-balls as a spinner - to remind us of humanity.
Lolol.
IF that is the true reason - that has to be pretty hilarious.
Like a tanker getting a puncture because it ran over a bee. twitter.com/atulkarmarkar/…
Friends and mitron -
We are going live now :).

Was consoling a friend who said he was struggling with earnings.
Spent 2 hours trying to make him feel better.
Then he told me how much he was earning.
It was twice what I make.
Now I need 4 hours of consoling.
Yo @DisneyPlusHS - can we have a 4 hour post-match special of Shastri & DK just talking to Hayden & Waugh?
Willing to pay extra subscription, up to Rs. 132.
Enjoy how all the commentators will do in-depth PhD analysis on Siraj's batting, Ashwin's elbow, Jadeja's knee, SKY's wrists...
But, everyone will keep ignoring Kohli regularly dropping catches.
The one time I feel joy that I don't have a stable salaried office job is when there's an #INDvsAUS Test on.
Have spent all day wasting my life watching every ball.
It's Lunch on Day 1 and Australia is still batting?
Absolutely disgusting pitch.
The curator must stand to trial.
Australia should be All Out by now.
Disappointing.
#INDvsAUS
Enjoying how people are writing PhD theses on each episode of @sharktankindia on LinkedIn.
Doubt even the sharks or the entrepreneurs did this much analysis.
I stopped getting worked up about New Years after 1999, where Y2K did not make the world explode.
I stopped being joyous about New Years after 2019, when I thought 2020 was going to be a fantastic year.
The best NYE party plan is to stay at home and party from home and bring in the 2023 by staring at each other's drunk faces at home.
This is traffic in Gurgaon on X-Mas weekend :).
Last (really) YT Live of 2022.
With @robbieuthappa - future orange cap winner of @ILT20Official.
We talk of Indian cricket in 2022, retirements and whether spidercam should be stamped like a bug (maybe that's just me).
Friday, 11AM IST - youtu.be/dGwB4qwp7VA
My New Years' Eve plan is to take two chairs and place them in front of my window.
Grab a few drinks.
And sit with my wife and laugh at people stuck in traffic.
Last cricket Live of #2022.
The venerated @robbieuthappa charges down the track.
We talk of Indian cricket in 2022, retirement, @ILT20Official and my hatred for Spider Cams.
Thursday, 11AM IST, join us here - youtu.be/qO4aicM3sws
Spider Cam is the most unnecessary technology in cricket.
Now it's attacking players.
It's being weaponised.
It's causing terror.
United Nations must intervene.
Stop the violence. twitter.com/GemsOfCricket/…
