    That game is scheduled as his comeback IIRC. But we can beat RM without LM or Masch.

    Watch out for Penaldo dives.......And with Waiter's bus parking tactics and your glorious defence....These 100 m sprinters in clothes of footballers can hurt very badly......

    Everything other than Marcelo's injury inducing fouls (and howls) are fine

    Losing 3 points is better than losing 3 months and Marcelo,like Gattuso can take away months from an opponent attacker.

    Looking forward to MaSha v Simona and Bucie vs Chanx2. Most meaningful group matches in Singapore. Loser of Bucie v Chanx2 probable SF opponents for Santina and winners probable final opponents.

    [MENTION=115680]nilesh123[/MENTION] this is in reply to post #57 from Thaihot China Open 2015 Draw thread.

    No students passes are provided for IPL, ODIs or Challenger Trophy (and T20Is if the associations manage a full draw). The thing with IPL is that other than the association (CAB, MCA, TNCAetc.) passes, BCCI licences ground rights to franchise owners for that tourney's length and they havent really done much in way of merchandising or fan relationships to be honest, since they get a guaranteed share of the TV revenues.

    Students passes (even for college students) are available for all Tests (unless sold out). For example, I did my college from Nagpur and used to visit Tests at Civil Lines and Jamtha for free. But the stadium was sold out for 2008 Border Gavaskar Final Test since Kumble and Ganguly were retiring, so for that match no student passes were handed, despite the fact that I knew some association members and the guards. (Free passes were given to Sudhir Gautam and Langdoo though, but not through VCA. They got them through Sachin and MSD or DADA I cant recollect. While Sch was active, Sudhir always used Lord's pass only. He hardly took passes from anyone else then, but Langdoo took from everyone, it was first come, first serve for him.)

    Try your luck during India SA Test series. If the stadium is not full, your school/college I card would suffice.

    Also for Ranji/Duleep/Irani/Hazare/Mushtaq trophies, entry is free for any one. Age no bar. Even the finals. All stadiums. Deodhar charges 50/- like Challenger if any star is playing, else they are free too.

    Also even though student passes for ODIs and T20Is are only provided when turnout is extremely low, if you cultivate friendships with association members by visiting the stadium regularly, you WILL recieve discount on the free tickets they sell (illegaly, of course) or MAY get free entry if the turnout is low.

    I know it is quite long, but hope it helps. Start by visiting each and every Ranji match at your local association; interacting with your local team second squad/fringe players/ball kids/net bowlers... Your local stars, ground staff and eventually association members will notice you eventually themselves, because normally such matches are witnessed by less than 20 people in the group stages. And the association folk really respect/appreciate people who support domestic cricket.
    Who knows, maybe one fine day you might find yourself invited to the nets by a Ranji player or to the club clubhouse by an association member ;)

    It was easier than expected for Santina.. Last time the Chan/Chan gave a neck to neck fight
    Needless to say SM/MH are set on fire blasters sania should defend her title
    And meanwhile MaSha did well to top the group and now she seems to be in the driver seat as s2 progresses..

    And unexpectedly Aga who I thought wouldn't even qualify for SF def Muguruza in a thriller she still has some hunger and steam remaining...
    But this also means whosoever win today will grab the championship.. MaSha or Petra

    Congrats to Chikka and Yuki (guys on absolute fire since DC). Comisserations to extremely young Subhankar. Hope one out of these two, Rashid, Udayan or Khalin wins a major like Baan or Aditi before Jaglan takes over.
    Early congrats to #9 to Santina,#10 to Sania and #50 to Hingis. Now that Chan's are gone and so are Bucie, finals would be a cakewalk. Thanks God Williamses and Vinci/Errani didn't play this year. :)

    Congrats All Blacks. I wish the 2011 CWC Champs could have matched the 2011 RWC Champs feat. :-(

    indeed. the stronger team won. but the Wallabies came close within just 4 points. They tried though.

    I strung 3 rackets while watching this morning.
