world records and minnows.......

what's with Sri Lanka? they look like a bunch of bullies who enjoy scoring copious amounts of runs against weaker teams. before that magnificent game between south africa and australia, sri lanka were the holders of the world record, 398 for something against kenya, in a 1996 world cup game. that was broken in an earth shattering way by Graeme Smith's boys on march 12th, 2006. and now i read one day that sri lanka over haul that score against none other than...........hold your breath!!!!...........here it comes..........netherlands!!!!. all this record is worth is a one sided page in the record books. there was no press coverage, no television coverage, no crowd present. for all i care, this made as much impression as tickling a rhinoceros.

while we are at it about sri lanka, i might as well tell u that i hate sri lanka with all my passion and venom. they're just a bunch of no good losers. yeah well............people argue they're invincible at home and yaddayaddayadda...........but wait, did u look at their overseas record?? its worse than bad, its infact worse than worse. before a freak of nature enabled them to beat england, they got their asses kicked by just about every country they visited except for , bangladesh and zimbabwe, who wouldnt put a scare even into a bunch of pig-tailed schoolgirls.


even during the 2004 champions trophy, Captain Atapattu was cock-a-hoop, "we play good cricket off recently, batsmen are in good form......so is jayasuriya, and bowlers" if this didnt already have me rolling on the ground, i was choking with pleasure when Freddie Flintoff, that lovable english caveman cricketer, blasted them into high heavens and back to Sri Lanka. and then, we have the smiling assassin, muralidaran. this is how his rcent interviews go. "ya i feel i'm in good form etc etc etc. the ppl in the west dont know how it is to come up like me. they dont know how it is to undergo hardships like me..........etc etc etc" i mean, mate.........get a life. and get ur facts right. Australia is somewhere down south, not the west.

i have huge respect for the west indian team. but look at them closely.....a few players, (read dwayne bravo) seem to suggest that human evolution hit the disc brakes in the caribbean. they look startlingly similar to our exalted butt scratching forebearers.

Sachin Tendulkar's back in form.....(YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAWWWWN!!!!)

some idiot was foolish enough to suggest to me the other day that James Bond could be a modern "krishna avtar"..........no offence, my lord.........but WTF?????

my sympathies are with the victims and the relatives of the victims of the mumbai train blasts. but the newspapers apparently had a field day. they were acting like excited school girls in the presence of Abhishek Bacchan. they're just proud that india has its very own "7/11" now. is there no limit to these reporters and their ideas of sensationalism?

anyway, i'll sign off now...............'til next time, take care, have fun.....bye
