Why the Indian cricket team lost in England…
by Sunil Rajguru in Sports, What if...
The BCCI has just completed its enquiry into the washout of the Indian team in England. Here are the results…
1st Test: Players just reached England. They had difficulty in adjusting to the conditions, pitches and climate.
Observations: Organize many more tours per year, so players will get over their “first match blues”.
2nd Test: India hadn’t choked for absolutely no rhyme and reason in a Test in ages. Law of averages finally caught up with them.
Observations: There’s nothing we can do about that.
3rd Test: Race riots happened in England at the time of the Test. The poor players were very scared. Smoke could be seen behind the stadium during the toss.
Observations: We couldn’t cancel the match as we needed the money and got it. No complaints there.
4th Test: Last match in the series. Players extremely tired and demoralized.
Observations: Organize 3-Test series in the future. As it is ODIs make more money. One lost Test = 3 more ODIs.
T20 International: Players played a whopping three practice matches the previous week, therefore they were extremely tired.
Observations: Stop listening to experts and stop organizing so many practice matches. As it is they don’t make much money.
Complete ODI Series: Rain, weather, damp pitches, Mr Duckworth and Mr Lewis dominated and there’s nothing anyone can do about that. This series can be totally forgotten, especially as we didn’t lose much money.
We were also told that captain MS Dhoni was fatigued and tired and should be rested, then how did he emerge as the leading run scorer and man of the series? The BCCI should stop listening to so-called experts.
Final Observations: Arre bhaiyya aal izz well!
Note: The ECB is seeking the BCCI’s expertise to explain its 0-3 ODI thrashing and making a similar report.

News in Limericks 3
by Sunil Rajguru in Lyrical Atyachar
There was this team from India,
That lost badly to Britannia,
Not once but again,
and again and again,
Par apne gali main goro ko dikha diya!
There was this domino in Tunisia,
That fell and rocked Arabia,
The dominoes did fall and fall,
And fall and fall and fall,
Till they reached Wall Street in America!
There was this thing called Corruption,
Which was attacked by this thing called anshan,
The government did shake,
And managed the fast to break,
But now Team Anshan’s mired in dissent and corruption!
There was this exotic “Indo-Pak talk”,
That was opposed by many a hawk,
The moment it raised its head,
A blast would turn everything red,
And peace would be forced to take a walk.

What “Manmohan Singh” really wants to say…
by Sunil Rajguru in Politics
Main azaad nahin hu!
Anna Hazare se mujhe bachao!
Nuclear policy ki waat lag gayi!
Mukherjeeda, main tujhe pradhan mantra nahin ban-ne doonga!
Oil prices, inflation, high taxation ka magic wand kahan hai!
Hisar chhootha, ab hisaab hi chhuthha ho jaayega!
Andimuthu Raja ye tune kya kiya!
Notes se votes nahin milte hain, cash-for-votes file bandh karo!
Swiss Bank list ki talwar abhi bhi sar par latak rahi hai!
Information ka Right ko bahaar pheko!
NREGA aur kitna paisa lega? Tijori hi khaali ho rahi ha!
G se bahut dar lagta hai… 2G, CWG, CAG, Soniaji, Rahulji…
Hum phir bhi chup rahenge… hahaha… tum sab chillaate raho!
