Of Solos, Orgasms and Fatwas

What they said :

On Tendulkar

"Nobody does solos better than Sachin Tendulkar, nor, perhaps, has anyone endured as much heartbreak during those solos. It was India of the 90s all over again: Tendulkar almost chased 351 on his own but, with the target in sight, he got out and the rest choked, falling short by three runs with two balls still to go. In Chennai in 1998-99, Tendulkar, having played an innings as incredible as this, left the last three wickets 17 to get; tonight he left them 19 off 17.... "

On Ravindra Jadeja

Excerpts from a chat between me and Sandeep

In Dhonis words - "He is still young, don’t take that away from him"
How many mistakes is a youngster allowed?
Even IIT-JEE gives you just 2 chances :D
He is still 5 years elder to Sachin when he made his debut
Ya man even otherwise, even if he clicks, we don’t understand his role in the team. Is he a bowler who can manage a few edges?
Exactly, he is a part time bowler who can bat a bit.

lag hi raha tha run out hoga kab se c*****ape pel raha tha" - Shaggy

As Punchar rightly put it,

"In our society we used to play cricket like everyone. We used to keep a brick as the bowling end stumps and the probability of hitting it was like 1/Avogadro number. Consequently, we used run to the middle of the pitch each time the ball connected the bat and still managed to return safely. Especially if the other team consists of players like Lala, Munna, Raju and Kallu. May be its time for Jadeja to realize that international cricket has nothing similar to galli cricket. There are 3 stumps (covering a total area of 0.1 sqaure metres) at the bowling end to aim at while the opposition has players like Ponting whose probability of missing the stumps is as much as the probability of seeing Halley's comet. Stop running around you fucking idiot. " - Punchar (be blogs here)

"If you can release Fatwa against Salman Rushdie for writing a book against the Prophet, why not a Fatwa against Jadeja for robbing GOD(read Tendulkar)of his fundamental right(read hard earned victory)."
