[Assam] [asom] Ambani's gift and an ODI in Guwahati

[Tasiruddin Ahmed]

And if you read the last paragraph of top headline news in The
Telegraph (Guwahati edition) dated 6-Nov-2007, it was the unruly crowd
that led to the abandonment of the last ODI in Guwahati. That's how
media reports reverse the facts!

The Telegraph (Guwahati edition) is not available online.
