Shane Warne: Smoke Gets In Our Eyes
HUMOR — It was all going swimmingly well for Shane Warne until it all went terribly wrong.
The Royals began IPL 2011 reminding supporters of 2008 glory. Then, “Dame” Elizabeth Hurley flew in from London to join the champion bowler. RR lost not a game at home.
But then, alas, Liz left for London sweeping away with her Warney’s luck.
Saurav Ganguly, the unseen force in West Bengal politics (Satire)
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has squarely blamed Shah Rukh Khan and his Kolkatta Knight Riders for the CPI(M)–led Left Front’s abysmal showing in the West Bengal assembly elections.
“The absence of Saurav Ganguly from KKR ranks upset the general populace. There was no anti-incumbency , no tiredness with 34 years of ‘misrule’, not even Nandigram,” said the veteran political leader.
What he said,really meant and definitely didn’t: Shane Warne
What he said:
“It is like the past, you can’t change what happened in the past. If I thought about what happened in my past I could be in a straightjacket and padded cell somewhere.”
Shane Warne on his attitude coaching the Rajasthan Royals , focusing on what he has rather than what he hasn’t.
What he really meant:
“You can only do things with what you have, not with stuff you don’t. You don’t have that stuff anyway, why worry about it? You could go nuts.”
“The past is writ in stone; today’s the clay for tomorrow’s masterpiece.”
“Simply put, do make do!”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I deserve to be in a straightjacket and padded cell.”
“It’s just not spinning balls I’m good at, yarns too! Yeah, I’m no Mahatma, though!”
Team India for West Indies ODIs announced: Gambhir leads
A point of similarity between Gabriela Pasqualotto and Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Until today, the two were content playing the game “Maybe I will, maybe I won’t”.
Pasquallotto, of course, was referring to whether she’d make her story public to the tabloids.
She will—if she’s paid and if she’s allowed to write it herself. Fair enough.
What he said, really meant and definitely didn’t: Jacques Kallis
What he said:
“I am an easy man to please and one of the greatest pleasures is taking money off Mark Boucher on the golf course.”
Jacques Kallis finds SA and Kolkatta Knightriders team-mate easy meat on the links.
What he really meant:
“Pocket money’s always welcome.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I’d continue playing Mark is if I kept losing.”
Rahul Gandhi and the SMS Pitch (Satire)
JAIPUR—
Sources within the Congress(I) and the BCCI have—in confidence—revealed that the real reason Rahul Gandhi is in police custody is because the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) is miffed with the Congress’ General Secretary and are considering charging him with damaging the Sawai Mansingh cricket pitch.
It is understood that Rahul Gandhi wished to get a feel for farming before he launched his campaign supporting UP farmers. He believed that doing some ‘fielding’ on his own would lend authenticity to the Congress’ support.
Recap and implications of ICC’s Cricket Committee recommendations
Cricket Ireland will welcome the recommendations made by the ICC’s cricket committee on Wednesday, the 11th of May, 2011.
Associate teams will be allowed to participate in the 2015 World Cup through a qualifying process. The next World Cup will not default to Test-playing nations. Teams will have to earn the right to be in the elite group of participating nations.
Cricket fans will start to believe again that “yes, the administrators are playing cricket.”
Gabriella Pasqualotta bares all (Satire)
Gabriella Pasqualotta—the South African cheerleader ejected for telling tales on IPL cricketers—revealed all in an exclusive interview to MakeTimeForSports.
The long-legged blonde said: “I have been victimised not for blogging about cricketers and their boorish behaviour but simply because I chose to disclose all in the English language. Had I written my blog in Afrikaans or Swahili, I could have got away scot-free.”
