Flexing muscles

A former skipper ordered one of the umpires who was standing at a recent provincial T20 match to refer a run out decision to the third umpire. May be that he did not know that it was against the cricketing laws for a fielder to make such an order.

However the bewildered umpire stood by his decision, but chose not to take the matter up with higher authorities through a report just because the person concerned was a former skipper.

Squabbles at the Citadel
Now the citadel’s make believe big wig is trying to get rid of the hen that lays the golden egg. Everything that this department does is not appreciated and at every in-co meeting this person’s name is torn to pieces. However recently when the softer, but the real head of the institution met this guy he said “My god I did not any of these things, they are poisoning my mind against you”

Going to the top
The deposed manager, the former champion batsman and the don are going to the top to report on iron fisted actions that are being taken at the citadel. They say thereafter -- the ‘make believe big wig’ may be in trouble.

Citadel in the red
The ComB people have now put the Citadel in the red. They have now stopped all ODs extended as the Citadel people have taken up to 3.8 billion. They say even next month’s salaries will be a problem.

No not now
The ACC have found out that the ‘make believe big wig’ has meddled with the Hotel thing. Now the ACC has asked not to do anything till their team arrives here to make arrangements about the tournament.

We want another one just like the other one
In the same tournament as above the two umpires and the match referee had a heated argument over a run out decision in a match played at the Moratuwa stadium.

Oval ball big bull
The big bull of the oval ball is showing his apartheid openly. Recently the referee who is there from a humble background was invited to blow in an overseas tournament, but the big bull overruled it stating that he humble man had not officiated in enough matches locally. But, in reality the humble man had blown in over twenty matches for the season.

An impartial observer said “By these actions it is only the Lankans that will get pushed back because they will not invite us for future matches and then where will our guys get the much need foreign exposure”.

Mad max in full swing
Mad max is in full swing because the top guns have resigned and formed their own party. Now he is going to organisers of school games and threatening them saying that they are ones who choose the best ones at the end of the year and if the schools go with the breakaways Mad Max will see that the boys’ names will not be there in the final list. How sad.
