Two stories for your consumption:
1) First the ridiculous. Gautam Gambhir is injured and will not participate in an ODI series. Naturally, the BCCI selectors pick Virat Kohli as his replacement, a player who himself is just coming back from a shoulder injury. Is it me or does it seem odd that when an injured Delhi batsmen cannot make it, he is replaced by a recently-injured Delhi batsman. Got to maintain those zonal quotas, don't we?
2) And now for the sublime. Aakash Chopra continues his quest to demystify some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of international cricket on CricInfo. This week's article is about team meetings and their relevance to player preparation for matches. Fascinating and insightful. Read it and enjoy.
