Dear @British_Airways try Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, India. I'm sure this is enough for the postal service/courier company here. @sachin_rt

Can't imagine how bad @British_Airways service must be. They managed to do what 24 years of sledging didn't - make @sachin_rt lose his cool.

Waiting for British Airways to lose a Sri Lankan cricketer's luggage. They will learn their mistake once they ask them their full name.
