Quick hits

a) CricInfo confirms what I had alluded to in one of my earlier posts - the Virender Sehwag - Gautam Gambhir duo is fast becoming one of the best opening partnerships in the business.

b) Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN interviews two of the Little Masters of Indian cricket (GR Viswanath being the original one) - Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. Read the entire thing. Sift through the mutual admiration that is evident all the way through, and there are quite a few interesting things in there.

For instance, Sunil Gavaskar says he never looked at the scoreboard, while Tendulkar admits that he does pay close attention to it.

Towards the end, Gavaskar repeats a recent plea of his to Sachin.
Gavaskar: (...) but what I will do is, not advise him, but I will make a plea - please regain the World Cup for us in 2011.
