The Fedex has been running on full steam from 2003 to Jan 2010.
Since then it’s unfortunately being Rogered.
The champ’s perspective…
One’s Lonely. (Federer)
Two’s Company. (Federer-Nadal)
Three’s a Crowd. (Federer-Nadal-Novak)
Will the Swiss Federer Reserve last through 2012?
If Nadal won’t get you, Novak will.
If Novak won’t get you, age will.
Aus Open 2012: Federer’s best chance.
Wimbledon 2012: Last chance?
2003: Roger in.
2012: Roger out?

Sunday ho ya ande,
Roz khao dande,
Scorecard pe ande,
Press conferences main anek funde,
Khele acche ya gande…
…phir bhi hit hai IPL aur ad ke dhandhe.
Ye hain Indian cricket team ke bandhe…
This spoof by Sunil Rajguru
If the English won’t get you, then the injuries will.
If the injuries won’t get you, then the DRS will.
(Especially applicable to greats like Rahul Dravid)
Sachin has been stranded on his 99th international century for ages now. But that’s normal. He always spends a lot of time in the nervous nineties.
The BCCI now stands for the Board of Control of Cricketing Injuries.
A movie based on the tour will predictably be called Ghayal, the English remake will be…
Eight Injuries and Indian Cricket’s Funeral.
Yesterday’s Theme: Hum honge kaamyaab…
Today’s theme…
Hum honge tanadarust, hum honge tanadarust ek din,
Tan main hain vishwas, poora hai vishwas…
New rhyme for kids…
Eleven Indian cricketers standing in the field,
Eleven Indian cricketers standing in the field,
If one Indian cricketer should get accidentally injured,
Then there’d be ten Indian cricketers standing in the field,
Ten Indian cricketers standing in the field…
Indian cricket players can now be divided into two equal halves:
Between those who have played on the 2011 England tour and those who haven’t.
Desperate measures: Sack the coach, hire a fleet of doctors. Scrap the NCA, build a BCCI Hospital.
Old Saying: Delhi door hai.
New Saying…
Sachin ka sauwa shatak door hai.

Right now there is a bargain sale going on in international cricket…
Ten Indian wickets are available for the price of one English wicket.
Series report…
England thrashes Rahul Dravid 4-0. The rest of the team for some mysterious reason just failed to show up.
The English cricketers now love Indian food.
They’ve been having the Indians for lunch and tea for quite some time now.
What’s the opposite of: As fit as a fiddle?
As unfit as an Indian cricketer.
The BCCI’s solution will be probably to have many many more international matches per year.
That way the number of matches won annually may remember the same.
Maybe God was too busy watching Anna Hazare and just forgot about the Indian cricket team…
(Reference: India-England cricket Test match at Oval from August 18-22)

Same country-coach jinx…
Under New Zealander John Wright, India never beat New Zealand in a Test Series.
Under Australian Greg Chappell India never beat Australia in a Test series*.
Under South African Gary Kirsten, India never beat South Africa in a Test series
Under Zimbabwean Duncan Fletcher, with the way we are playing right now, we might never even beat Zimbabwe in a Test series!
First the England Tail was better than Indian Batting.
Now even the Indian Tail is better than Indian Batting.
Best batting line-up in the world?
Tall Tale!
Whenever the Little Master nears a landmark, we have a string of nervous failures.
After the Landmark, we have a flurry of confident centuries.
How many Landmarks does a man need, before he looks at just the team scoreboard?
If India do lose 0-4, someone should burn the bails and make a New India Ashes.
(*While India never met Australia in a Test series when Chappell was in-charge, we were thrashed by 337 runs in the only Test we played the year he quit.)

Zaheer: Mera pair dukh raha hai.
Bhajji: Mere pet main dard hai.
Yuvi: Abhi to main bimari se nikla hu!

Raina: Ye sab dekh ke mujhe headache ho raha hai!
Class monitor Dhoni: Mera poora class hi thaka hua hai to main kya karu! Aaj kal mera bhi man hi nahin lagta routine matches main.
Headmaster Shashank Manohar: Naacho! Aur zor se naacho! Naach mere bublbul-o to paise milega, to paise milega…
