Instead of whinging like me on RSC about the lousy Delhi track, others in India have made good use use of the lost 2 days of the test.

Exhibit A (courtesy a cousin, who no doubt stole it from some blog):

Some Jadeja Facts:

 1. India has never lost a test when Sir Ravindra Jadeja was included in the playing XI.
 2. Sir Jadeja is waiting for the next T20 int'l to score his next triple hundred.
 3. Once Sir Jadeja fined the ICC.
 4. Once Sir Jadeja cracked a joke at a McDonald's; people are still loving it.
 5. Alfred Nobel was nominated for Sir Jadeja award.
 6. Man of the series - R. Ashwin; God of the series - Sir Ravindra Jadeja.
 7. On 15th Feb a meteor crashed to earth in Russia's Ural Mountains. Scientists had no clue at first, but now believe it was a six hit by Sir Jadeja.
 8. Sir Ravindra Jadeja is the doctor whose order Ravi Shastri keeps talking about.
9. Sir Jadeja adjusts the sight screen even while he's bowling.
10. Rajnikant never played cricket because he's scared of Sir Jadeja's bowling.

Exhibit B:

He doesn't have to. The sight screen adjusts itself when he is bowling.

11. Sir Jadeja once hit a six with his hand because he had forgotten to
carry his bat to the crease.
12. He did #11 on a wide ball.
13. The umpire can never call 'a run short' when Sir Jadeja is running
because in Sir's own words 'Crease wahi shuru hoti hain jahan hum bat
rakhte hain'.
     Corollary: The umpire can never call a no ball when Sir Jadeja is
bowling.
14. Once a bouncer ducked and got out of the way when Sir Jadeja was
batting.

This is what Sir Jadeja's Wiki profile stated until recently:""a philanthropist, a Nobel Prize winner, a double Laureus sportsman of the year, and the nearest human to god." (http://SportToday.org/)

Clearly someone likes Sir Jadeja quite a lot :-)

Cheers,

The Sir Jadeja Twitter feed has been keeping me going for a bit (twitter.com/sirjadeja). I particularly enjoyed https://twitter.com/SirJadeja/status/316592007571189760/photo/1.

Hilarious.  

Also, GD's link to the Bradman et al. shot had me chuckling for hours.
