What is the hottest restaurant in Mumbai anyway

In terms of upscale dining, Bombay Canteen and O Pedro get a fair amount of publicity though people who aren’t Mumbai novices would probably claim there are better less-heralded places. Guess the team owes Ajaz a big meal at one of these.

My Trolling point for @Flem274* still remains:
NZ have never won a TEST/ODI series in IND ?

how many test series have there actually been in India between these teams?
tours to India are very rare, and they won't be in a hurry to get back there anytime soon.
but then again, who the hell would be?

but then again, who the hell would be?

Teams that are looking to claim top spot would be, to prove themselves.

Played India c team at kanpur and barely held on for a draw after losing half a day to bad light. They needed to play in their second home after getting a full England series as prep to beat us. And the moment their pacers had to bowl in non swinging Indian conditions they went wicket less lmao. Fakest world champs ever.

I actually really doubt that, they'll know the only thing to prove is they'll look like complete fools.

Didn't see any the last 5 wickets. Good bowling? Bad batting? Bit of both?

OK bowling absolutely gutless batting

That's what I was worried about

You think late 90s/early 00s Aus would have said "Nah we shouldn't tour India, we'll look like complete fools"?

I hope it's Patel. Agarwal's innings was amazing too and I can see the argument for him.

Mate a bloke took ten wickets in an innings. There's no argument to be had here, surely.

Murali Karthik's habit of putting needless emphasis on random syllables is so annoying.

He got a hundred against a guy who took 10 wickets.

India did that when it came to touring here in the 1990s tbh.

If the Kanpur team was the Indian C team, you must have some good spinners in your A and B teams if they are better than Ashwin and Jadeja and Axar.

Heh knew agarwal would get it

Would anyone argue 90s India was even a decent team, nevermind great?

Bit of an exaggeration clearly but the batting line up was definitely mostly B/C team.

Rohit, Rahul, Kohli and Pant are all first teamers (only recently in the case of Rahul mind you, but still).

Mate we didnt even play Washington Sundar

Can't believe that doing something that's only happened twice before in the history of test cricket wasn't enough to win MOTM.

 

[thierry henry]

Like how Ashwin took 8/42 and it barely rates a mention. Basically unplayable.
