http://www.espncricinfo.com/page2/content/story/589804.html Excellent Tutorials (Chennai) takes great pleasure in announcing its latest intensive career-oriented course for aspiring, top-class school students all over the world. Starting next month all branches of our esteemed institution across the nation will offer: Target: ECTR (English Cricket Team Reintegration). Target: ECTR will be an intensive 12-day residential programme to help students who are Key Performers (KPs) but who have fallen out with the English cricket administrators. The course is designed to help KPs of any nationality ease their way back into the English cricketing establishment. This reintegration will be carried out through a three-phase programme, as described below: Phase 1 - Re-anglification: This will involve several exercises to ease the KP back into the English milieu. At the end of this phase, the KP will once again know what it means to be English. Phase 2 - Re-athletisation: In this second phase the KP, now suitably anglicised, will be gently reminded of what it means to be an English sportsperson. Moderate physical activity. Phase 3 - Re-cricketification: In this crucial final phase the KP, now feeling both English and athletic, will be taught the finer points of being an English cricketer. Steep learning curve expected. For the benefit of prospective KPs we are hereby outlining a tentative 12-day schedule for Target: ECTR. Please note that this schedule is susceptible to change. A final schedule will be released closer to course commencement. Re-anglification Day 1: Ritual burning of replica South African passports. This will be followed by time for quiet contemplation.
