Commentator Kerry O' Keefe has made a demeaning remark on India's first class cricket while discussing Mayank Agarwal’s credentials on the first day of the third Test. While commenting on Agarwal’s triple hundred against Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy, O’Keefe said, “Apparently he got the triple against the Railways canteen staff.” He also added that the bowlers from the said team were "chefs and waiters". Mark Waugh also had said that Mayank’s average of 50 in India is like 40 in Australia.

On being a team man
Let me tell you about the recent series when Lungi Ngidi made his debut against India. AB calls me aside, and asks me, “Can you please make a flattering motivational video about Ngidi. Keep it a suspense and put it on during team meeting to motivate the young guy.” So I do it. 20 minutes before the team meeting, AB rushes in. Somehow, he has managed to get hold of Ngidi’s friends, and has a video byte from Ngidi’s father, talking about how proud he is that his son is going to play for South Africa. Not only did he somehow scramble and got it done, and even apologised to me for the short-notice he was giving me to add it to the presentation. Just imagine the effect on a 20-year old youngster that a legend like AB is going to this level. That’s the sort of team man he is.
Controversy’s favorite child: Steve Smith
On amusement
After watching the T20 world record of 6 sixes on 6 balls of an over and then reading the honours received by the same bowler with no mention of that record!
He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to cricket.
