Showing off

A leading cricketer who is to fly to the cooler climes in the near future is heard to have said that he is going to show off his colours in no uncertain terms just to show some cricketers, past and present, who have been dead against him returning. “I will show them,” were his actual words.

Love conquers all
A tour of Scotland has been undertaken by some players who play ball with a net in preparation for a big competition to be held in the Lion City in the near future. However these players are a catty lot as there had been a big fight between three players due to reasons unknown. The talk is that the squabbling had taken place due to amorous situations.

At it again
The top sibling is at it again. He is said to have bought a leading club in the Chilaw area for a staggering sum and is also planning to buy some other clubs. The reason for all this big buying is said to be that he plans to undermine a top meeting in a popular sport, even though he is not involved in it. He just wants to give the jitters to those who are eyeing top spots in this sports body.

Something at last
Volunteers who worked hard to make a world event successful on our shores were compensated with certificates and gold coins. However the world body had said that they would also give $100 a day for this enthusiastic lot. There are some who are not satisfied with the certificates and gold coins only and are vowing that they will leave no stone unturned until they get their dues as well.

Why? The big question
The whole sports scene is wondering how and why a player has been named vice captain of a sports body. They simply cannot fathom the reason for it. Hmm. Maybe in the near future the cat will be let of the bag.

Not anymore
A player who was in England was suddenly roped in to take part in a major tour. However this player has not played a single game. The grapevine says the reason for NOT playing this player because he had been coached by certain top individuals and the present lot does not have anything to do with them.

Breaking coconuts
Who was seen " breaking coconuts: at a Kovil down Mattakkuliya way. Mama please don’t take that path of curse to break a leg as this is not in the gospel of the saints . The refa is a hora now what is it?
