Cheeka: Man, we're vegetarian, Man
Yash: Kaise khayenge na udhar khana?
Later in the London hotel...
Man bhai: Suno sab loga... Aaj vegetarians ke vaste sirf bread butter aur salad manage ho sakta
Cheeka screws up his face
Man bhai: Arey aise kayeko dekh raha Cheeka
Two: Trouncing Maddi pa
Maddi: Aaram se maar na Cheeka! Bhai net practice hai
Cheeka: Humko chumma tukku tukku khelna nahi aata...I know only hitting, macha, go, go, bowl, bowl...go
Maddi: O Kapil isse samjha, mai sar pe mar dunga ball
Kapil: Rehen do Maddi pa, nahi aati use defence
Three: Watching the West Indies pacers practising
Maddi: In the history of the World Cup me, you know, West Indies ek match nahi hari. Ek bhi nahi
Roger: Michael Holding. He's known as the Whispering death. It's like a bullet. If it hits you, you're dead
Roger: That's Andy Roberts... He's known as the Hitman...
Yash: Ye sala chun chun ke marta hai
Roger: And that's Marshall. Shortest, but the fastest...
Roger: And there's the big bird...Joel Garner...

Kapil: Srikkanth...opening batsman. He got no meaning of defence
His team leans forward to see
Queen: Best of luck!
Cheeka (very very carefully): Your majesty
Cheeka's eye twitches into the wink
The Queen stares
Kapil (hastily): Madan Lal...all-rounder...
Four: After Kapil's speech in the bus
Man bhai: I think team meeting is over
Led by Jimmy and Sunny, everyone claps
Cheeka (standing up and yelling along with the TV song): I don't know what you say... I don't know what he says (pointing at Kaps)
Everyone joins in; Kapil's grin back on his face
Five: Breaking the bulb
British commentator on TV: I guess the Indians didn't pray enough! It's stopped raining
Yash (standing up): Kuchh bhi barbar karte jaa rahe! Muh bandh dunga inka!
Kapil (too calmly): Bolne de...bolne de...
