Lots to be worked out at the toss...
Does selecting which pitch occur before or after the toss? Does Modi get a say in which pitch? Does the giant image of Modi on the grass need to be moved if we change pitches at the toss....

Did everyone in Shield cricket promise to never bowl bouncers at Bevan or something?

I'm sure he faced many bouncers at First-Class level. He gets a game at Test level more regularly if he was playing nowdays. The bouncer excuse...it may have been an issue but it was because of the depth that he couldn't get a look in during thst time for Test cricket for Australia.

You could even add Mike Hussey to that list, given he was 30 in 2005 when he finally made his Test debut and had been playing FC Cricket for a decade.

Yeah you're right I could of had him on that list. I left him off the list because he ended up playing a lot of Test cricket.

Is this real life that the Indian team management will decide which pitch to play on the day of the match? I have never heard of that happening anywhere else. Is that a thing that happens and I’m not aware of it? Seems very “icky” on its face.

I really don't think that's a thing.

What's icky is the fact that Modi is doing the coin toss at a ground named after him. ****ing politicians.

And when it comes to Indian politicians, the word shame really has no meaning.

Here is a cameo of actor/politician MGR playing a lead in a movie and also cameo-ing as the real life political version of himself as a big philanthropist. ??
