Big 3 nahin to Little 3 hi sahi…
by Sunil Rajguru in Overheard..., Sports
Overheard…
VVS to SRT/Dravid: Bas Sri Lanka tour nikaal lo bhai logon… next foreign pitch tour is at the very end of 2013. We can easily play till then!
Yuvi-Raina-Rohit: Looks like we will be the “Allegedly Next Big 3” to retire from Tests and not them!
Sehwag: And I actually thought I could bat up the order!
BCCI: The only constant is (we will not) change.
∙ History first repeats itself as a tragedy (England tour) and then as a farce (Australia tour).
∙ Happy Republic Day!
However, no Independence Day from the farce of Indian batting on foreign pitches.
∙ Theme song of the Indian batting is Hum Saath Saath Hai…
They hit form together and collapse together.

First Pak official: There’s a mistake here… it says “Unclear Safeguard Plan”. Shouldn’t it be “Nuclear Safeguard Plan”?
Second Official: Both spellings are correct.
Indian Official: I cannot give a positive spin on oil prices any more.
PM: Please explain to them that in exactly the same way that I am in charge of the government and not the Congress President; the oil companies are in charge of the oil prices and not the government!
First Official: Anna Hazare, nuclear plants, Chidambaram, 2G… we need something to take the heat away from these issues…
Second Official: FDI in retail?
