If you have noticed the media reports recently regarding India's overseas tours and Shastri and Co. 'insensible' remarks about their performances, you could have seen Sourav Ganguly confronting them every time. The way things are being handled by Shastri and Co., it seems they are undermining the power of our legends. Tendulkar has always been a gentleman and kept mum even in the strangest of situations.

If they are the best travelling team in the world, they must know what they have done in those travels could only pass as an infamous 'Shastri rhetoric' which at the end of the day, doesn't sound meaningful at all. It's all delusion and being delusional wouldn't benefit Indian Cricket.

I have been a huge fan of 'Lost' and till this time, gush about its fantastical and mythical elements. People still find it very hard to crack the mysteries of Lost and when a show leaves you with more questions than the answers after its 8
