No, we haven’t taken Reya and Vivan to Lord’s as nonetheless yet both have come to a Wankhede Stadium that is my home track and therefore some-more critical to me.
How aged are Vivan and Reya? Is Vivan display any seductiveness in cricket?
Reya is going to be 11 on Sir Don Bradman’s birth anniversary (August 27) and Vivan is 6. Both are too immature to confirm what they wish to do. Both have an artistic focussed of mind and we have Reya’s portrayal that she gave me on my progressing birthday, in my office.
Did a appointment of Anil Kumble as India’s conduct manager astounded you?
I am not astounded during Anil requesting for a job. Even yet a cricketer retires from general cricket he still wants to offer a diversion in some ability and Anil will be doing that now with a same eminence and integrity that he brought to his cricket.
How successful will a Kumble-Kohli multiple be?
It is too early to contend if a Kumble-Kohli multiple will be successful or not, though it won’t be for miss of perplexing given both are dynamic cricketers who wish usually a best for India.
India is in a West Indies though a bowling coach. Do we consider Kumble will be means to conduct that department?
Anil will confirm how to widespread a responsibilities so usually he can answer that question.
Are we astounded that Kumble has been allocated usually for a year?
In each pursuit there is a hearing duration after that there is an prolongation so we am certain that’s what will occur with Anil.
Ravi Shastri has been private usually after one-and-a-half year while Duncan Fletcher, who didn’t suffer good success was around for 4 years…
Ravi did a superb pursuit and carried a spirit and essence of a degraded group with his gung-ho proceed and never-give-up opinion and that can be seen not only in a formula of a group though also a positivity that they radiated on and off a field. His has been a outrageous grant to a growth of this immature team.
Your prophecy of a India vs West Indies Test series…
I am not a clairvoyant to envision a outcome, though we would be astounded if India don’ win a series.
Do we consider a Caribbean pitches, generally in Jamaica and Barbados, have mislaid their pace?
The disproportion in assessing a gait of a representation from 22 yards and from 75 metres is huge, so we won’t assume on that.
You will be in a West Indies shortly for commentary. Does it feel special to be during a Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad where we done your Test entrance in 1971?
Ever given my entrance in Trinidad, we have deliberate it as my second home. So yes, we am looking brazen to going there again.
Do we consider a pinkish round will attract crowds in day-night Test matches?
I haven’t seen a pinkish round diversion live so we won’t be means to contend anything on this. Hopefully, many some-more will come to watch a diversion after their operative hours.

I am fine with a examination of personification a Duleep Trophy with a pinkish ball.
What about Ranji Trophy games on neutral venues?
Playing Ranji games during neutral venues is especially to equivocate a emanate of pitches being done to fit a home group so let’s wait and see.
