Water, water everywhere

What a come down! A former women cricket skipper has been told to act as the water girl to a set of cricketers who are taking part in a competition. What a let down they say! A former skipper and leading player is now to be the water girl!

Game heading for the bin?

A band of leading cricketers had met the Big Man at a recent bash and told him that unless some one at the very top intervenes, the game is going to end up in the rubbish bin. Now it seems as if the Big One has been thinking of this long and hard and may intervene in the cause of the game.

A Mexican tale

The story doing the rounds is that four players of a certain sport are getting ready to go to Mexico to take part in an event but they will not be accompanied by any officials simply because the governing body has no funds to send a manager! Is this wise?

Picketing on a small scale

A minor picketing had taken place at the Citadel because they were not given bonuses this year. The picketing had been of a very small scale so that news of it will not leak outside.

Leading youngster to the fore?

After the elections the guys at the Citadel are said to be working double hard to finish their tenders in case the Interim is changed. The talk is that the a leading youngster is to take the reigns to clean up the Augean stables as the big wigs are now aware of the things that are taking place at this place.

Family gathering

Nothing but a family gathering that is what the recent cricket bash had been. The news is that the organizer of the event had invited all his kith and kin and they have enjoyed the bash to the hilt. Not done ole’ man!

Swimming in the red sea

Looks like the Citadel is drowning in its own…….whatever it is. The overdraft to banks counts for over 536lakhs of rupees a month. At the same time they also have no dollar reserves. Then on top of all the ‘eye see see, also have turned down a request for a WC advance. What a shame for the biggest money spinner!

Flying files Episode I

When Dandi heard that Loku is to be replaced by Jonny Boy he sprang into action and took some vital files WC files along with him. However this lifting of files from the Citadel is a much occurring thing. Whenever there is a change the files start to fly out of the doors.

Flying flies episode II

Ksiri - Loku’s confidante and the maintenance man at the Citadel came along with Lalith at midnight removed some TV deal docs from the Citadel. However they did not forget to tell security to forget the matter. But, the poor uniformed man made a log entry about the visit of the VIPs at night.

Big Mouth
It is not only the Oval Ball that has lost places for officials appointed at International Level . The People of the Pool too has lost a number of appointments. Common factor is the Big Mouth.

At what cost?

AH Ha Jith the Podi Sir is going on telling everybody that if the whistlers of the oval ball will not come they will bring foreigners to the country. At what cost is the question.

In the red!

The Club that Plays with the Oval Ball in the hills has a good brand and has brought a lot of money to the club..Last year it was in the red for seven million and the joke is that the bar too has run at a loss. The result is that some in the management has been asked to go . Isomata paw. That is why he is behind big bull and big mouth.
