Oct 1, 2016 at 4:37 PM
Yesterday, the cricket association of Bengal led by the former captain of Indian cricket team Sourav Ganguly, delivered on its promise of installing lords like a bell at Eden gardens premises, according to the tradition the bell is rung five minutes prior to the start of play to mark the starts of the day’s play.
The same tradition was followed before the start of the second Test match at Eden gardens. Kapil Dev rang the bell to mark the start of the day’s play at Eden gardens.
This tradition was first introduced by Lord Cricket ground in the year 2007. SIR Viv Richards was the first cricketer to mark the start of this tradition Nawab of Pataudi was the second eminent personality to ring that bell followed by Sunil Gavaskar who rung the bell on the third day’s play becoming second Indian to perform that ceremony.
However, the Lords cricket ground after watching the bell ringing ceremony wrote something which was expected from them. They tweeted
Great to hear Eden Gardens now has a ? for famous former players to ring before play in Tests. Imitation is the highest form of flattery ? pic.twitter.com/qIdbAhWcfm

Now that is something which was totally expected from a country like England as they have a past record of doing these types of habits in past. The fact of the matter is England still cannot the swallow success of India in world cricket which is the reason why they regularly do one or the other thing to take a jibe at Indian cricket.
A few days back U.K. based tried to take jibe on India but got back on his face on each and every occasion. Former Indian cricket team opener Virender Sehwag was the one who insulted him the most.
Any Indian personality is yet to come up with any answer to Lords cricket ground but surely we will see someone come up with a reply to this Lords ground tweet which will again put them to shame.
