A moment comes which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, a test series ends, and the soul of a cricket team, long demolished, finds utterance in T20’s and ODI’s. It is befitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to 'Team India' and the still larger cause defined by BCCI.

Instead, hour after hour, session after session, day after day we were treated with an array of in-courteous bowlers, determined to annihilate their unsuspecting guests and followed by a pack of run-hungry batsmen who made our fine young men toil in the field match after match as they feasted on our depleted resources – no remorse no act of mercy shown.

Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to us now.

<p>1. <b>While Chasing</b> make the most innocuous score look absolutely insurmountable</p>
<p>2. Pick an extra bowler, If he takes a wicket pull him out of the attack</p>
<p>3. Economical bowlers should only bowl the last over</p>
<p>4. Shuffle a successful batting order</p>
<p>5. Good batsmen should bat down the order, lest they might make some runs</p>
<p>6. When you require 8 runs per over, try some defensive strokes</p>
<p>7. When you require 6 of 9 balls – go for the big hits</p>
<p>8. Demote hard hitters, promote unknown faces</p>
<p>9. Play the first 10 overs like a 5 day match, let the pressure build, then lose wickets</p>
<p>10. If still you are close to victory – <b>Choke</b></p>

At the other end – after 5 acrimonious days, innumerable bad decisions, 111 deliveries and a few hours at the crease he waits for Ishant to come over and gives a small pat on the back as if saying – never mind…. Leadership is as much about grace and honor as it is about winning….. For many Antigua 2002 or Kotla 1999, but to me Sydney 2008 was the pinnacle for the 18 year old untiring shoulder carrying the hopes of a nation. The words I write will be lost in the millions of testimonials which will be written in the next 24 hours or so but what will not be lost are the words, “Only one team played in the sprit of the game”.

Not with spin or pace but with a nip off the pitch and a zip on the lip, a legend was made. A broken Jaw, sliced fingers and a determined hand scripted a fairytale, ‘Dignity’ it was called. Arrogance was dispelled and discipline befriended as a student of the game taught himself the subtle art of playing the game beyond the 22 yards within the realms of his heart.</div>

</p><div align="justify">Mohali. Adding a new controversy to the already charged up India-Australia test series, Siddhartha Negi – Founder activist of MNS (Manoos Nari Sanghatan) has filed a written complaint against Australian speedster Brett Lee for blowing a <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/sport/cricket/india-rises-to-challenge/2008/10/19/1224351051311.html">kiss</a> at Indian pacer Ishant Sharma during the third day of the 2nd test Match at Mohali. He has alleged that Brett Lee has shown complete disregard for Indian laws and culture and such an Act of obscenity should not go unpunished. He has demanded an unconditional apology from Brett Lee and went on to add that his organization will not allow any song sung by Asha Bhosle in any language to be played anywhere in the country since she had released an Album with Brett Lee a few years back. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
In a peaceful protest against the visiting Australian team, MNS activists pelted stones and broke the window panes of Mauj’s Head Office, the music company which had released Brett Lee’s Debut Music Album in India. When reminded that Brett is an Australian National and Indian Laws might not apply to him, MNS Legal Head Rachita Maheshwari said, “Brett Lee has stated that Mohali is like his homeground, hence we can issue him a Ration Card from Mohali District, allow him to vote and then book him under Indian Laws”. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Brett, when contacted by our special correspondent said that his Flying Kiss was being blown out of proportion. Brett also said that Ishant was swinging both ways and that he was just trying to guard his wicket. The Indian camp has played down the incident stressing that no love has been lost between the two sides. Leading wicket-taker and cricket analyst Yogesh Chandorkar has said that, this is just another ploy by Greg Chappell to upset the Indian team. “Chappell’s strategy has backfired. He had advised the Aussies to understand Indian Culture. They have clearly misunderstood our culture and are now blowing kisses at our players” he reflected thoughtfully. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Ishant rubbished rumors that he was worried about the incident. He said that he will continue to work on his swing and he is expecting much more lateral movement as the series progresses. Analyst Neha Pathak from a Leading Investment bank was worried about the long term returns from Ishant’s endorsement deals but rock star Neha Saraf, was quite upbeat about the incident and is reportedly planning to release the Hindi Remix Version of The popular song, “I Kissed a Boy….” with Brett Lee. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Meanwhile the Australian received support from unexpected quarters. Just before the release of his book “Cover your Stump”, Leading gay rights activist and Fantasy Cricket winner Rohit Jain has written a strongly worded letter in support of Brett Lee’s right to express himself on and off the field. He quotes the Theory of Human Evolution to support his claim. “Home-Sapiens being followed by Homo-Sexuals is a natural extension in the chain of Human Evolution” he maintained. “The Prime Minister is busy signing the Nuclear Deal to light homes across the county when thousands of gays are living in utter darkness”, he added angrily. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Ritesh Jain, who is on an Indefinite Alcohol Diet in support of Gays told us that he idolizes the Union Health Minister Ambumoni Ramdoss and that article 377 of IPC is totally unconstitutional. He added that the article curbs the basic rights of the community. He is shocked at Home Minister Shivraj Patil's attitude towards the whole issue. “Everything should start at Home” he added, leaving the interpretation open for our Faking News readers. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><p>
</p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Critic Saurabh Naik from Young Legs Foundation blamed it on the Fab 5 in the Indian team,”There are a lot of 35+ cricketers in the Indian cricket team who, being unable to understand the New Age Style of cricket have given rise to the entire controversy” he said maintaining his earlier stand that India should dispose of its ageing stars. </div><p></p><p></p><p>
</p><div align="justify">
Union Minister for Unacceptable Sections of the Society, Mr. Angad Kalra has said that he will set a high level committee to look into the issue. “We are also considering the possibility of Delimitation of seats for Gays to protect the secular fabric of the country” he said.</div>Eternally Confusedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227790579341615603noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960058557342604065.post-7978190993326858222008-08-28T21:54:00.008+05:302009-05-17T18:46:47.969+05:30Height of Nostalgia....<p></p>

<p align="justify">OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.</p><p align="justify">
</p><p align="justify">NEW VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building His house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the Shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. The world is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's' house. Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter. Amnesty International and UN secretary general criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper. Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry. CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers. Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway trains, and names it as the 'Grasshopper Rath'. Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the beginning of the winter. Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grasshoppers in educational institutions & in Govt Services. The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV. Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Social Justice'. CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden. UN secretary general invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly. Many years later...the ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley. Hundreds of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India.</p>Eternally Confusedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227790579341615603noreply@blogger.com0
