"Aussie Ki Taissie" — What Say?

5 03 2008

Its finally over! The dust has settled. The champions have been defeated on their own home turf. The sledgers have received a mouthful on and off the field. So, here’s a renovated Indian team coming back with the Commonwealth Bank Series Trophy after a dream come true victorious run down under. Congratulations Team India on this memorable win which is sure to please all Indians and haunt the Aussies for some time atleast!

So, at the end of the series, which has seen many controversies involving Ponting, Hayden, Symonds, Hogg and our own Bhajji, I would like to ideally point out what some of the Aussie players would be taking back home! Here are some mementos that the Aussies should get….

Brad Hogg : With his tongue sticking out throughout the series, he gets a unique trophy for display of this behavior!

                    Hogg

Mathew Hayden : Likes to be rough huh! Ok, well atleast if not on the field, let us help him realize his dream by presenting this gift!

                   

Andrew Symonds : Nothing much more that this photo frame to provide nightmares! ;)

               Symonds

Ricky Ponting : Spared from sharp criticisms owing to his mundane looks and talks after accepting defeat…. But, the series would have surely left out this thought in his mind.

” If Cricket is Religion,

Sachin is a big GOD,

Ponting is a sick ~(GOD)! “





Australia — Cricket World Champions?

7 01 2008

Seeing the way Aussies are surviving defeat in their own land (thanks to umpiring flaws!), I am forced to question their title of being World Champions. India had all the chance in the world of defeating this team if luck had favoured!

Came across this forward which is a very good compilation of thoughts on Cricket as a whole with Australia as its epicentre! These views were formed post India-Australia test match at Sydney recently wherein India had to taste defeat owing to umpiring flaws and age old sledging drama by Australians.

********

After the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification
(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.
(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING – “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.

********

Think Aussies, especially Ricky Ponting might have lost all the respect/admiration he/they used to get after the pathetic display of Cricket! Well not that India played excellent, but Australia didn’t deserve to win for sure. Wonder whether there is some law which could strip them off from this victory……… Anyways, for me this match is the worst I have ever seen from umpiring and a team point of view.

Was absolutely shocked on seeing a scrap about this song being copied from an Indonesian one. Its called Tek Bisakah (Bye PeterPan), you can find it here

I couldnt believe it! Really has originality died up in the Indian Music? Remixes, copy cats.. are these going to determine the future of modern Indian music? But thanks to Pritam to bring the music before us…… :) Song in hindi is awesome though.
