Though we are quite "appreciative" of India and Indian culture in general, we are not prejudiced towards the British, Shashir. History needs to be remembered, but prejudices have no place in society.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A 'foreign' view of Indian cricket
Bangalore | November 19, 2005 10:15:05 PM IST
For a group of six foreigners, including three from Britain, it was a perfect day out to experience firsthand a cricket match in the subcontinent when India took on South Africa here Saturday.
Dressed in Team India colours, with headbands that boldly declared "I cheer for India" and also sporting the Indian tricolour on their faces with face paint, the IT techies working here were enthralled by their experience.
"It is such a unique experience to come and soak in India's colourful culture in a sporting encounter. I have been to baseball games in the (United) States, but this is something completely different," San Francisco's Derek Gotko told IANS.
"The noise, the enthusiasm, the friendly faces, the atmosphere, it all adds to the occasion and may be I'd tell my friends back home and here to get a taste of this," he added.
Swede Jesper Tuner, who hails from Malmo and who just got to Bangalore a couple of weeks back, cannot get over the experience.
"I'm having a blast here and everything is so new and alien but in such a fun way. I just got to India not too long back and this has added to what I've experienced here," Tuner said.
"I had no idea that this game was so huge here. It compares with the popularity of football back in Europe," he observed.
For John Fidoe, who came from London, this is not the first time at a cricket match, but surely the first experience of it outside the traditional home of the game.
"I have been to a couple of Tests before in Leeds and London and needless to say they were completely different experiences. It is a different culture and a different atmosphere," Fidoe said.
"May be there is a reason why cricket has moved on beyond its traditional confines. You would not find such enthusiasm for the game in the UK. The way people enjoy it here is so gung-ho," he added.
His previous experiences and knowledge of the game give him another added responsibility.
"These guys chew my brains about the nuances of the game and I'm the official interpreter. I'm not complaining though, its fun to introduce them to cricket," he said.
Anna Stolk, who belongs to the stronghold of English football - Manchester - home to the Manchester United football club, is pleased to be here.
"I've been to football games involving Manchester United but I'm glad I came here. It just adds to the appeal of India and is a great eye-opener on its culture. This is also more fun as it lasts the whole day and it is like a picnic," Anna said.
"May be we should have more matches here so that more people can enjoy a game. It is so different from what we usually do on the weekends," said Olan Kenneally, who is from Cork in Ireland.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

2nd test is interestingly poised. If we can have one good session this one is in the bag.
BTW SRT has 35 centuries now.. <!--emo&:beer--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cheers.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Try some. On January 16, 1956, Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy walked out to open India's innings, at the Corporation Stadium ground in Chennai, against New Zealand. That evening, they walked back, unconquered, with the score reading 234. When they were finally separated, the board read 413/1. Between them, they faced 997 deliveries, scored 404 runs off the bat, hit 33 boundaries in all.
Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid -- the latter opening the innings by default -- have thus far scored 374 runs off the bat (in a team total of 403/0) off just 462 deliveries, with 65 fours and one six, at a run rate of 5.37. <b>And are now three boundary hits away from breaking a record that has endured for 50 years and 10 days.</b>
What can you say?

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Â Â Â Â Imran Farhat and Salman Butt are the opening batsmen
    Now it remains to be seen if India's bowlers can make it count
    after winning the toss and choosing to field
    Irfan Pathan to open the bowling
    Play is about to get under way and I am Anand Vasu, your
    commentator for this game
  0.1 Pathan to Salman Butt, no run, just short of a good length and on
    the middle and leg, a bit of swing away from the left-handed Butt,
    defended awkwardly, the ball loops back down the pitch off the
    edge
  0.2 Pathan to Salman Butt, no run, short of a good length and far
    outside the off stump, left well alone to the keeper, a bit of
    swing there
  0.3 Pathan to Salman Butt, no run, and another one short of a length
    and outside the off swinging away appreciably, left well alone by
    Butt
    India attacking with three slips and a gully
  0.4 Pathan to Salman Butt, OUT: fuller this time and on the off, the
    ball swings late and Butt plays at it tentatively. The ball takes
    the edge and goes towards slip. Rahul Dravid dives low and takes a
    sharp catch!
    Pakistan 0/1, Partnership of 0
    Salman Butt c Dravid b Pathan 0 (4b 0x4 0x6)
    Imran Farhat 0* (0b) IK Pathan 0.4-0-0-1
    India have got off to the best possible start! Pakistan have lost
    their first wicket without a single run on the board!
    Rahul Dravid will already be breathing easier about his decision to
    field first. That is a great start for India in this decisive Test
    match
    Younis Khan is the new batsman
  0.5 Pathan to Younis Khan, OUT: full and on the stumps, this one swings
    in very late, that is a perfectly pitched delivery and it nails
    Younis lbw right in front of the stumps! India are on fire!
    Pakistan 0/2, Partnership of 0
    Younis Khan lbw b Pathan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
    Imran Farhat 0* (0b) IK Pathan 0.5-0-0-2
    Pakistan in dire straits here at two wickets down without a run on
    the board. What a start for the Indian team and Irfan Pathan, who
    is on a hat-trick!
    Just a bit more for the bowlers and what a difference it makes!
    Mohammad Yousuf is facing the hat-trick ball
    Three slips and two gullies in place
  0.6 Pathan to Mohammad Yousuf, OUT: Got him! Sensational stuff at the
    National Stadium! Mohammad Yousuf bowled through the gate by a
    pearl of an inswinger! That one came in superbly after pitching
    and shattered the stumps!
    Pakistan 0/3, Partnership of 0
    Mohammad Yousuf b Pathan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
End of over 1 (maiden) Pakistan 0/3
IK Pathan 1-1-0-3 - Pavilion End
Imran Farhat 0* (0b)
    What a start for India! Pakistan have lost three wickets in the
    first over without a run on the board! Irfan Pathan becomes the
    second Indian bowler to take a Test hat-trick after Harbhajan
    Singh!
    Unbelievable scenes here at the National Stadium. Look at that
    scoreline Pakistan 3 down without a run on the board<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
