Q & A with Roger Federer
We caught up with Roger Federer after his loss to Jo Wilfried Tsonga at the Montreal Masters.
1) How does it feel to hit 30?
Not so good, actually, but, of course, I’m not going to say that despite my having my worst year (in terms of majors) since 2002.
2) How’s it going at Montreal?
Not good at all. I thought that Tsonga would take the hint and realize it’s Rogers’ Cup but no. Now they all enjoy taking the mickey out of me. And Nadal (chuckling).
3) Will this affect your US Open preparation?
No, not at all. You saw how I played prior to the French Open and yet I made the finals at Roland Garros.
4) Is retirement on the cards?
I’m still young, I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee (occasionally). Don’t count me out till I’m 35 and then I’ll join Pete (Sampras) on the Champions’ tour.
5) How does Mirka feel about you continuing your touring ways?
As long as I babysit the kids, she has no complaints. (Luckily, the diapers changing phase is past).
Do say: You’re still No.3.
Don’t say: 16—no more.

Tim Bresnan: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"It’d help if the India fielders didn’t have their hands in their pockets. It’s not that cold. They need to look interested [in play] and show some desire. If you don’t want to be here, go home."
Tim Bresnan is not amused with the attitude of the Indian cricket team on the field in the third Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Indians folded for 224 in their outing, the fifth consecutive innings where they have been bowled out for less than 300 runs.
What he really meant:
“We like winning but against competitive sides—not deadbeats.It devalues our efforts.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“If the Indians need extra sweaters, they can pick up some from our dressing room.”
Q & A With Virender Sehwag
The dashing opening bat is back in the playing XI for the Edgbaston Test. A quick chat with the Dilli butcher at lunchtime on the first day.
1) How does it feel to be back in the Indian squad?
When was I ever out?
2) Speaking of out, what are your feelings about the first ball duck at Edgbaston?
I was still in net practice mode and Stuart Broad wasn’t. The ball kissed my gloves and I kissed my wicket goodbye.
3) Is there a Sehwag special in store in this series?
Sure, why not? Besides, in this series, even a 50 is highly significant (with due apologies to Rahul Dravid).
4) How is the shoulder holding up?
Not too well. You see, all the Rainas, Zaheers, Mukunds, Gambhirs and Yuvrajs are crying on my shoulder. It’s under a lot of strain. Not quite what the surgeon envisaged.
5) Do you see yourself in the wickets, as well?
I have to test out the shoulder and this is the perfect opportunity (in Bhajji’s absence).
Do say: Two triples and a 293.
Don’t say: Golden ducks.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“If he nicks and doesn’t walk it may be different, but apart from that he’s quite good.”
Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that Virender Sehwag’s hearing problems may return if he nicks a ball to the ‘keeper, but for now, he’s more than fine.
What he really meant:
“Sehwag’s hearing will be as non-existent as the use of snickometer (in this series) should he nick an edge.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I want Sehwag to sprint to the pavilion if he nicks one.”
Graeme Swann: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“I want to do them and their family ill. I want to hunt them down and do them harm. That feeling doesn’t last long.”
Graeme Swann feels murderous when any of his teammates misfield off his bowling.
What he really meant:
“I’m a skinflint when it comes to leaking runs off my bowling and I expect my teammates to feel the same way too.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I was on the back-up team to hunt down Osama Bin Laden.”
Graeme Swann: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“We could be collecting bins or laying bricks on a cold morning in England.”

What he really meant:
“Most cricketers would hate an alternative career—given a choice.How lucky are we?”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Cricket is a game played on cold winter mornings in England.”
Graeme Swann: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“I don’t think I could still be the light-hearted, piss-taking guy if I was in a position of authority.”
Graeme Swann prefers not being in a position of responsibility. He did not apply for the job of England skipper because he’d rather have fun on and off the field.
What he really meant:
“You know when you’re skipper you have to be this diplomatic guy careful not to hurt anyone’s feelings.Well, that’s not me.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Being skipper is a bed of roses. You don’t have to take piss.”
Santosh Desai: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“The BCCI is a banana republic, it answers to no regulatory body.”

What he really meant:
“The BCCI is a banana republic; working with it is akin to trying to retain one’s balance while treading a banana skin.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri endorse plantains for the BCCI.”
Poonam Pandey: What she said, really meant and definitely did not
What she said:
“God gave women legs, so we show them off.”
Poonam Pandey, who made the headlines promising to strip if Team Indian won the ICC ODI World Cup, is not shy of making further provocative comments. She is to be one of the stars leading a Slutwalk in Mumbai—come September.
What she really meant:
“Legs are not just meant for walking, you know.”
What she definitely didn’t:
“How would you like them, waxed or in all their hairy splendour?”
