Mohali specifics

[Farhad]

Crowd today seems sporting. Heard chants of "Pakistan Jeete ga" too. Let's hope they don't turn much Indian soon. Inzi is there in the crowd giving moral support - kudos to the big guy. Punjab is as green as it gets in Sub-Continent, and heartening to see such seaming pitches can be prepared. I'm sure the players are having a great time in Mohali mingling with the Punjabis masses from across the border.

Farhad how would you, on the other hand, feel about the mingling mingling?

lol. I actually got an invitation last year from family friends (a few retired civil servants etc. of my father) in Chandigarh to come down and stay with them when our team was touring India. Have to say my favorite uncle amongst them is a retired general from Indian army - he is a Sikh, standing around six and a half feet tall with all the gusto - wonderful fellow and a great admirer of Pak hospitality. Contrary to what some may think, I get along very fine with such brilliant people.

Anyhow for that Mohali '06 Test match - I was preoccupied with work otherwise would have witnessed Akmal / Razzak rescue act.

its not him - its an Indian look-a-like. he dresses up in Pak colours and goes to all Pak matches in India. Hilarious!!!!

I spotted a Dhoni look-a-like in yesterday's crowd.

Not many things that I give Indian crowds credit for but i like the whole look-a-like business!!!!

Oh, I see. And here I was thinking Inzi has aged by three or four years after the ban!!

Well, actually I'm aware it's his alter ego on display.

Aren't u a bit too obsessed with height ? You always seem to mention it even when it may not matter. Just my observation

Not obsessed, but it's one of the striking features of someone's personality. 6'6" is definitely something to be remarked about.

height as a feature of personality?
