As the match began,Chief Minister Omar Abdullah bade goodbye to his followers on Twitter.
Anyway enough of Twitter for now8230; Ill come back after the match if Im not back during the interval. Have a good match tweeple, he tweeted.
But he couldnt stay off,returning with his tweets some funny,some sarcastic. At the first drinks break,he tweeted: Drinks break. Wow,what a heart stopping first 14 overs. And where are all those celebrities the media told us about?
As he was watching the match on TV,he also seemed to keep a tab on the administrative affairs of the state,at least the demand for uninterrupted power supply so people could watch the match. Kashmir valley is sucking more than 780MW power at the moment amp; grids R tripping, he tweeted. Please switch off some heaters amp; lights so more TVs work.
When Yuvraj got out,Omar said,Local hero my butt. He spent more time putting on his pads than he did using them. As Sachin Tendulkar was dropped,he tweeted,Enough is enough,I think Sachin should walk on next drop catch now ;.
At the end of the Indian inning,Omar took a dig at the commentators. Why is it every time the commentary box says India is aiming for 350 we struggle to get to the high 200s?
When contacted by The Indian Express,Omar said Yuvrajs bowling performance was impressive. If he takes a couple of more wickets,I may have to apologise to him, he said.
