Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan, who is busy promoting his upcoming film Aarakshan, expressed his disappointment over India's dismal performance in the last cricket match against England. 'An embarrassing defeat in cricket against England ... we stand vulnerable and without answer to our performance ..Sad!' he tweeted.

Arbaaz Khan chimed in, 'Can't believe india had eng 124-8 on the first day , then a lead of 66 runs, eng 2 down under the lead, yet they will lose by over 300 runs. India missed a great chance to square the series. Hardly looking like the No 1 test side. Need Sehwag , gambhir and zaheer to bounce back !'

Rahul Bose wrote: 'may I? can we please not use the term 'bounce back' for india's promised victory in the next test? after how some of our guys got out, uhm.'

Farhan Akhtar looked at the whole thing differently. 'Lets look at the bright side. We've figured out 10 new ways not to bat in English conditions. All the best for Test # 3,' he updated.
