Who wants to be on a trip to New Zealand.

What am I doing on the flight to New Zealand?

What am I doing on the team bus?

What am I doing in the team?

What am I?

I am very lucky to be playing.

But I’m also very unlucky to be playing.

Each game I play makes it easier

for them to drop me

and not pick me again

for god knows how long.

The best they could’ve done for me

was just leave me out of the team.

Anyway, who the fuck wants to be on a trip to New Zealand.

The Younis Khan Joke Book.

Younis Khan smiles, laughs, beams, and generally transports more bonhomie than the sum total of the Pak teams’ negativity. Ideally the telecast should have subtitles of Younis’ sunny-funny moments. But if you’ve watched Ten Sports, you know, they are communicatively challenged.

Forget subtitles, they barely get the telecast going.

But that doesn’t mean Younis Khan’s jokes will remain buried behind his funny face.

When he walked in with a broad smile at the fall of the first wicket – “Imran Khan, you proud of me or what?” To which he replied in Imran Khan's voice, “Younis, I’m very proud of you, and you should always bat at No.3”

On the face of it, not that funny, but if you could only hear Younis’ silent imitation of Imran, you would be more than just a silent admirer of Younis.

And when he walked not-out, stumps 2nd day, what was that hysterical grin about – “People gonna think I was being brave or stupid but the only reason I came in at 3 was because Imran, you said I should always bat at 3”

Let it be known that Imran Khan’s legacy as a cricket expert has been hammering one and only point home. That Younis Khan should bat at 3. And it is not even funny.

Cricket in springtime

Cricket in springtime
Like lovers in springtime
Holding hands
Like hands are being held
For the first time
That’s cricket in springtime

Losing your mind
Finding your love
All over again
Nothing to lose
It’s all for gain
Cricket in springtime

I could have played with you
You could have played with me
But it wouldn’t have been
What you say
The right time, the high time
Cricket in springtime
Play by the book
Play by the brook
Play with a glance,
That is love hitting the ball
Romance
Some springtime
Go round the wicket
Take a chance
Open your stance
Use your bat like a lance
That’s cricket in springtime

Chase through the tulips
A red cherry in a red bed
Search party is in the barn
Somewhere North West of Cannes
Look like a loony in the hay
Saying little, what is there to say?

Cricket in spring time
That sexy lass
In the open
On the grass
Cricket in springtime
The game’s making love
To me!

Thank you Kevin.

Mallaya claims he would’ve paid a lot more for KP. He will once the IPL starts.

KP could be God’s gift to batting, but he is also the devil’s gift to cricket.

The blame for 51 all out will go in many directions.

But if English cricket is honest about the blame game, they can either yield to KP, or make him yield to them.

The middle path is not going to work. Not with him, not with the team.

It's the IPL

It’s the IPL
It’s the hype PL
It’s the pipe dream L
It’s the ripe dream L
Think I’m gonna pluck it

Taste it, waste it, paste it, chaste it
Be there, near there, rhyme it, chime it
Means nothing, seems something
One night stand, nothing planned
You’re not playing, you are canned

What’s the haul? Why is there Paul?
Who did the Calling, who cut the Wood?
Who needs a white boy drink boy?
Who needs an old imported rusty toy -
There’s no joy, there’s no joy

Who is the father, who is the son?
Who picked KP, who’s that bum?
Take him on the yacht
Take him to the derby
Put him in a bikini
Put him in a calendar
Put him in a bar
Knight him captain, make him saar
Too much of a double whammy
Just put the blame on Jammy!

It’s the IPL
It’s the hype PL
It’s the pipe dream L
It’s the ripe dream L
Think I’m gonna pluck it
to be contd...
