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.

He could even become unpopular in the process but true fans of the game would know who is being right. CoA in a way hasn't helped Indian Cricket and BCCI don't even care what's going on 'in-the-field'.

Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...
