Seven T20 World Cup truths

1. Reverse colonialism has hit England. How else you explain Collingwood and party getting booed in their own country!

2. You thought MS Dhoni is responsible for India’s failed T20 World Cup campaign only. Students from a Sikkim school have just served an eye-opener. MSD is apparently no less hazardous to Mother Earth than CFC;

3. Younis Khan is the lone cricketer with the distinction of having an X rated smile which threatens to incur censorship;

4. All these talk about Sehwag’s Grade I tear is bulls**t. In fact Pigeons**t, to be precise. Sehwag had a Pigeon perched on his shoulder right throughout IPL II and sources reveal its poisonous drop infected his shoulder;

5. Smart florists in Ranchi have started stacking their shop with effigies as well since either of the two is always in demand;

6. West Indies had plans to use Shivnarine Chanderpaul as opener in Twenty20 World Cup but it did not materialize since painting those eye-patches is a time-consuming exercise and ICC steadfastly refuses to keep play on hold till Lord Shiv is through with his war paint;

7. Doosra can safely reveal that England bowling coach Otis Gibson had sought tips from bar owners in India who told him that it's impossible to stop the Indian bats from going berserk unless you have enough bouncers. Gibson got the message and the rest, as they say, is geography...err I mean history.

The pigeon part is very credible; appears Jatman gets along far better with birds than beasts!

Hey Santosh, welcome to Doosra. To know that my blog is read gives me the biggest kick. The effort is to stay away from the usual gyaan doled out by the mainstream media. Great to know that you like it.

NC, imagine Jatman with a pigeon on his shoulder. Makes him complete I guess.

Gaurav Sethi said...

It does. And place that statue of Jatman at the Parliament round-about

Som said...

NC, surely Azza and Sidhu can raise the statue proposal in the parliament.

On another note, is ott'is being replaced by Buch'anan.

Som said...

Scorpi, I doubt, since Ott' is the bowling coach and Buchanan's is a short-term consultant's (Quisling?) job.
