 Who is the senior she stroker who had begun to under perform because she is against the incumbent captain.
Once she was heard saying: “Who wants to prop that …..”
But she keeps doing the same without any hindrance.
Out you go at 12 noon
The players did not have it their way this time. With only a pittance give by the TV crew to play against the men from the seas near to America the tour operators had a problem at hand. So in the midst of huge grumblings by the players, they had to vacate the hotel rooms by noon on the fifth day and take their kith and kin to the pavilion and keep them till the match was over. The normal practice had been that the spouses used to stay on at the hotel and the husbands come and picked them up after the match. This means the Citadel picks the bill for the occupation of the room for another full day.
 The angry skipper
It is learned that the skipper did not get the team package that he wanted for the first game. Invariably the Gayle hit Galle and poured and poured fours and sixes and the honour of being the third in world was shattered. The angry skipper walked up to Mr. Selector and retorted “Mun Ekka Gahalada match dinanna kiyanne”. (Is it with these people that you want us to win matches????)”.
Women-of-the-match
The woman-of-the-match at the recent game was presented with a trophy that was covered with dust in a corner in a mighty big hurry. However once given the trophy she was whisked away by another woman official to the utter surprise of the recipient.
Time wrap
At the induction tree planting they had it wrong they say.
Though the auspicious time was 10:07, some over enthusiastic officials had done the planting to 9:07.
They say some well-known persons were among the wrong-timers.
Money-in-pocket
The money that was given to the veteran dribbler to meet the scribes on the oldies to contest has pocketed the cash and then begun a different act. This veteran who also is an employee of the kick-house has now been removed from money related matters in this exercise.
Red/White balls
Two veterans were at practices with the rest of the gang in the absence of the national team who were abroad. To take the practices came another cricketer who is now a coach after his tenure at the middle.
They story goes to say, the new coach is jealous that these two are still playing the game, while he is in the fringes.
Once day the coach told one of the players, “ Today you will have to play with the red ball instead of the white one. The guy who was still playing quipped in a flash, “You can keep your red ball; I will do my training the way I can”.
Not so common temper
Why did tempers rise at the not so Common Games? Pumpkin and MA the Ricks had choice words aimed at the meddler with a whistle.
Though taken by surprise the whistle boy vows to come back with Sene the Sanga and take revenge on all. This man is a problem, this is what the councilors think.
Taking stock
The oval ball wonders why the EYE ARR BEE is being fed with incorrect information on the SEE Sevens to bring down what they do. The mutterings have organizers feeling sick wondering who is up to mischief. They know and are working to expose the worm. They say he has continuously done this and now it is time to take stock as the damage he does is more than the good he always talks of.
The winner is…
The small rascal was the winner after all. The crafty former teacher who was dismissed by the Citadel officials finally got around the bookie-man at the top and got a settlement of a 3m smacker.
No one around
The men from the Caribbean were playing close to the beach down south. It is a usual hub for this game. But, this time it was different. The man who wears the hat was angry with the men in the Citadel and had taken them to courts. The result was it was only the poor bookie that was present at the game, but no one had seen any other running members of the Citadel Committee present at the venue. |
