    Great Test Series, would have loved it a lot more without the rains.

     

    Raina's form is a good sign. Let's see if he is capable enough to keep Yuvraj out of the team for the whole series in England.

     

    Ishant & Harbhajan bowled well throughout. The next series is going to be epic, if India can bat well.

  4. Which Internet Connection is everyone using ?

    1. is 30GB FUP enough if i game 2 hrs a day and do a lot of youtube watching

    2. PINGS are high, is gaming and matchmaking affected, any1 using Airtel in Mumbai face probs in connections like 1 bar in COD, Uncharted2 etc.)

     

    1. 30GB is good enough for online gaming and youtube watching. That may still leave you with 5-10 gb of downloading. Would be better to go for a 75gb FUP in their 1699 plan.

    Awesome cricket pitch this. :majesty:

     

    Test Cricket on such a pitch just separates the men from the boys. Virat Kohli, the boy wonder from limited overs cricket, needs to grow up and quick.

     

    No one wants to see 500 plus run fests. Amazing Series.

    The legend George A. Romero is no more among us. :majesty: Heartfelt condolences to the family of this amazing entertainer.

     

    Wonder what would happen to the "of the dead" franchise now.

     

    :wallbash:

     

    To make matters worse Bollywood announced Shaadi of the Dead, starring Abhay Deol yesterday, the first zomcom movie from Bollywood.

    Kensington Oval, Barbados :samui:

     

    And no Munaf.

     

    Batting needs to click.

     

    Edit: The first couple of pages of this thread should be pasted in the Jokes & Funny Stuff thread. (India actually went on to win that T20 world cup)

    Am thinking of starting with a 75GB FUP cap @ 1699 and see how it goes.

     

    Edit: Whats with the upgrade only from your next billing cycle thing. Cant believe Airtel behaving like some govt. owned enterprise.

     

     

     

    Checked with them categorically but they were adamant that the pro rata billing has stopped as an internal policyand the new plan would be available from the next billing cycle only. Well mine start at 23rd so not a long wait.

     

     

    ^^ and Airtel changes the plan from the next billing cycle!

     

    Are we seeing an evolution here?

    Sledging in Cricket

     

    1. James Ormond and Mark Waugh

     

    James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by MarkWaugh……..

    Mark : "F*** me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England "

    James: "Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family"

     

    2. Viv Richards to Gavaskar:

     

    Gavaskar had decided to relinquish his opening position and come in at no 4 for that test. But, Malcolm Marshall fired out Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks, setting the stage for Gavaskar to walk in at 0/2.And he thought there would be less pressure! Viv Richards says " Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."

     

    3. Team mates Sledging

     

    England were playing Pakistan and, at what turned out to be a crucial moment later on, Frank Tyson managed to get an outside edge off a Pakistani batsman after the batsman had been frustrating them on a hot sweaty day. The ball went right through the hands of Raman Subba Rao who was standing in first slip and through his legs. After the over Raman heads over to the bowler and says, "Sorry Frank, I should've closed my legs." Frank Tyson, who didn't find any of this amusing, quipped back, "No, you bastard, your mother should have ."

    New airtel plans

     

    airtel-broadband-unlimited-plans-for-delhi.jpg

     

    Cool, but the one that I have gone for is missing from the list. Maybe its not available at your location. Its 4mbps with 75gb FUP @ 1699

     

    If you ask them, they will change you mid way. It'll show up as "multiple plans" on your bill.

     

    My current plan has a 25 GB fup... will change it to 75.

     

    Thanks for the heads-up, Rashmeet.

    Did anyone check out the new airtel plans? there's still no no-FUP plan but the caps have been raised and costs reduced :thumbsup:

     

    Got myself 4MBPS 150GB FUP cap @ 2099

     

    Cool buy, thinking of getting this plan myself. Hows the speed and everything? Personally haven't faced the torrent speed throttle yet, am on a 1 mbps plan but after the FUP my download speed is 512 kbps since am an old customer.

     

    Am thinking of starting with a 75GB FUP cap @ 1699 and see how it goes.
