  • Senseless Humour

    Third rate sense of humour cannot overcome lack of content. You guys come around as arrogant but the problem is that your knowledge is limited. Had high hopes but your content is limited and your incessant injections of humour into everything falls flat on the face.

    A bunch of hardcore cricket fans hanging out around a water cooler and chatting about the glorious game. As Shastri would say, “Just what the doctor ordered”. Incredible banter, light-hearted and accessible
