WAGS, doctors and nurses protest the display of emotion by men in blue (Satire)


Virtually all professional cricket bats are ma...

That the Indian team was given a replica instead of the Real trophy was good enough reason to cobble together a band of experts for an hour-long discussion on the Times Of India news channel—at prime time.

It didn’t matter that the replica was a genuine one, albeit usually unveiled for promotional purposes.

Poonam Pandey makes it big riding piggyback on Team India


One thing’s for certain.

We all know who Poonam Pandey is—now.

She’s that little known Kingfisher model who promised to strip nude if Team India won the World Cup.

I’m a serious kind of bloke and it got me wondering immediately why would Ms Pandey want to do this. And just who Poonam Pandey was.

Is she one of those Page 10 celebrities who frequent Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meets? A relapsed alcoholic? That would explain it.

No, you idiot, it’s the free publicity.

Ricky Ponting finally gave in.

Hordes of critics baying for his blood would not be denied.

The World Cup loss to India, in the quarters, was the final straw.

Much as Ricky Ponting would have liked to take the terminal blow on his chin—like  a man—he would be first to admit that multiple body blows over the past few months had left him with more than just a bloody, broken finger.

It made him vulnerable—never a happy state of affairs for an Australian captain.

BCCI takes nutritional issue with MS Dhoni (Humour)


It has been learnt, from undisclosed (unreliable) sources, that the meeting the selectors (namely Krishnamachari Srikkanth) and a BCCI official had with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gary Kirsten last week was not about team selection (as widely reported in the press) but about nutritional matters.

The BCCI is worried that about the type of endorsements Indian cricketers have taken on  and the non-salutary effect it has had on their diet and hence their on-field performance.

Cricket World Cup: Funny thoughts and not-so-funny happenings (Humour)


Harbhajan Singh and Reebok have discovered the Teesra. In a viral video doing the rounds on YouTube, the off-spinner demonstrates a ball that stops and reverses back to the bowler.

It actually drops dead after spinning back and side-wards.

Much like the back-spinning, side-spinning drop shots employed by tennis masters .

The Japanese are offended.

If Roger Federer had to compare himself to a robot, then why did he have to choose Robocop and not their beloved Giant Robot?

Surely a titan would prefer to compare himself to another?

The Swiss maestro clarified that he was not a machine and does not go from point to point like a Robocop.
