After 'Sachine', Bengal welcomes Mr Anjali Tendulkar
November 06, 2013  14:35
After having made a goof-up in spelling Sachin Tendulkar's name, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) were in for another embarrasment today when they addressed the batting legend's wife as "Mr" Anjali in the welcome message on the giant electronic scoreboard.

The CAB's second goof-up came in as many days when the giant display at the High Court end kept on flashing Welcome "Mr Anjali Tendulkar and Master Arjun Tendulkar" during the lunch break on the opening day of the first cricket Test between India and West Indies.

As Anjali along with son Arjun got into the President's box around the lunch break, the giant screen flashed the wrong message and it was only after a few minutes that the mistake was realised and corrected, but by then the damage was done.

The CAB, which had already drawn flak for its over-enthusiastic preparations for Tendulkar's 199th Test, had yesterday misspelt the senior batsman's name as "Sachine" in a giant billboard.

The CAB had then put the entire blame on a private agency.
