Bhajji feels over-burdened with additional bowling responsibility In a candid interview with our correspondent, Bhajji admitted that he felt over-burdened with the additional responsibility of part-time bowling. “Look”, he said, “If it’s part time off spin you want who better than Sehwag or even Sachin to break a partnership? Unlike me, these guys have proved themselves in the past and are good options. Why would you want to burden your best no 8 batsmen with this additional responsibility? Dhoni is a great captain and has had great radical ideas in the past but my advice to him is, next time stick to your regular bowlers. He would be expecting me to wicket keep next.” Dhoni was unavailable for comments Sachin doesn’t want 50 centuries While the whole nation and perhaps the cricketing world is waiting with bated breath for the master to achieve the never before heard landmark of 50 test centuries, Sachin has admitted that he himself wasn’t looking forward to it. “My aim is the world cup and test series win in all countries. This will be achieved by May 2011. What is left for me after that? Should I play on endlessly after reaching every goal and record possible? At least if I never reach 50 century I will always have a goal in sight even if I deliberately get out on 99”. After being pestered by our correspondent, Sachin finally admitted that the idea was not an original one thought by him. “Do you really believe I am such a thoughtful genius? I have to give Ponting credit for this. All along I had mistaken him for a selfish bloke but he gave me this adivce for free and this proves that he has his heart in the right place" Dhoni may send Jadeja to bat for him in tests Jadeja might currently be the most reviled bloke in India but Dhoni sees a grand future for him. In a surprise move, Dhoni has pleaded to BCCI to allow Jadeja to bat for him while he kept in test. “If with my batting skills”, said Dhoni, “I could make it to Indian test XI, Jadeja can always go one better”. When we asked the BCCI whether the lCC laws allowed for such a contingency, the BCCI spokesmen had a good laugh. “Has the ICC ever declined what BCCI wanted? Whether its the non implementation of UDRS or implementation of the idiotic super-sub rule, they have always listened to our reasonable demands. And this is as reasonable as they come. Dhoni is our most valuable asset with his many sponsors. We do not want to burden him with batting along with his captaincy and keeping. If a substitute can be made for an injured fielder, why cannot a substitute be made for technically incorrect batsmen? Can you show me a rule which says this is not possible?” ICF petition to ban ‘Zodiac’, ‘Transparent’ The popular cricket website ‘Indian Cricket Fans’ today showed an united front in the demand to ban certain ‘jinxed’ posters during match days. Staunch enemies like Patriot and MTC, BossBhai and the Outsider, Rett and Nirvanam, all came together for a common cause. Patriot threatened to stop commenting on Sachin for a fortnight while another senior poster ‘Fineleg’, threatened to stop being negative about Indian cricket till the posters ‘Zodiac’ and ‘Transparent’ were banned during match days. According to ‘King Tendulkar’, this is not the first time these posters have caused irreparable harm to the Indian team with their jinxing ability. Not only did they make Sachin miss his 50th century, they were also responsible for Obama’s pro-Pak policy and the Kashmir issue.’ Zodiac’ and ‘Transparent’, no doubt planning more carnage on day 4, were unavailable for comments Afridi feels Misbah, Younis are not Pakistanis After their super-human efforts to lead Pakistan to a draw against South Africa in the first test, Younis and Misbah faced criticism from unexpected quarters. Pakistan’s ODI and T20 captain and most famous icon Afridi cast doubts about these players being original Pakistanis. “Look at them”, he said. “They played out so many overs. They had a chance to throw their wickets away in every over but they overcame their natural impulse. They didn’t hit many sixes, they neither collapsed themselves nor did they allow the rest of the batsmen to. Do you think these players have an ounce of Pakistani blood in them? What about the fans? What about the upcoming youngsters? What about ‘Qaid-E-Azam’? Today do you see a difference between India and Pakistan? These guys should be deported ASAP or taken an oath against. They are definitely not Pakistani but RAW spies in disguise. Neither of them have a beard. We are not England to allow non-Pakistanis to play for our national team” When our correspondent contacted Younis for comments, he threatened to quit from international cricket permanently unless we left him alone

Pak players lodge official protest against Majeed

5 Pak players, including Younis Khan, Afridi and Yousuf have lodged an official protest against Mazhar Majeed for not naming them among the match-fixing suspects. “We were very much a part of the team and gave our 200% each time”, said one beastly player on condition of anonymity. “Even new comers like Farhat has been named but so many senior players who toiled so hard over the years have not been named by him. This is a travesty of justice and not how you treat your senior players. We demand an equal share among the spoils...”

IPL4 banning of teams a planned strategy

A senior BCCI official has admitted that the banning of various franchises were just an eyewash to get some controversy going before IPL4. “Its just fun cricket”, said the board member.”We decided that some has-been actresses were not causing enough interest and It was up to the board to come up with a plan which will raise some eye-brows. We would never knowingly ban a team. The more teams the better. In fact, we are planning for 45551 matches in IPL 5”
