If you don?t like cricket, don?t even think about leaving the house this weekend. Because if there is one thing you can count on, there will be no other conversation to be had, with the city swamped by cricket players, cricket fans and even a cricket restaurant.

Mixed menu

Whatever Sourav does on Saturday?s pitch, he is sure to be the most talked about of all. Because next to cricket, what Calcutta loves most is a good meal. The skipper?s Food Pavilion will be the place to be seen at if you manage a toe in.

Getting a toe into the stadium may not be quite as difficult. There is much chatter amongst those who want to get a seat for the Big Match. More measured calls are being made by those looking to off-load their passes. Like some shrewd life members overheard hawking a hot seat in the clubhouse for Rs 3,000, and counting.

Arms & the fan

With so many legends being feted at the BCCI?s platinum jubilee, pull out your cricket trivia books and find out just what made these greats so great. After gaping at Immy, get into gear for the real thing, armed with serious Diwali ammo ? for win or loss.
