Old Trafford loss musings…

Ref: Fourth India-England Test at Old Trafford.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
If Andy won’t get you, Broad must,
If Broad’s nose has gone bust,
Then in Moeen you can trust.

What do you think of the collapse?
Pappu: It is just a state of mind.
But what is the solution?
Pappu: The batsmen have to be empowered.

If England played with 10 bowlers we’d still be unable to get them all out.
If India played with 10 bowlers, we’d still make the same amount of runs.

Old…
Tigers at home, lambs abroad.
New…
Tigers at home, ducks abroad.

Fletcher before…
Don’t be a chicken or a cowardly or fearful person.
Indian batsmen: OK!
After…
Arrrgghhh!!!! A duck’s much worse!

On the English menu…
1. Duck soup.
2. Bombay duck.
3. Roast duck.
4. Pressed duck.
5. Peking duck.
6. Duck à l’orange.

What’s your phone number?
England: 40000001

  1. Dear Sunil,

    While I love reading your articles – following is factually wrong :

    When Saddam invaded Kuwait, that led to the Gulf War and even though the US won, not toppling Saddam was seen as an unfinished agenda. The Americans were desperate to go after Saddam and Iraq immediately after 9/11 but that never materialized.

    They finally attacked Iraq in March 2003 and deposed Saddam in April. He escaped the US but he was finally captured and executed in 2006.

    The above note is wrong. I was in Kuwait when it got invaded – 1990 by Iraq. Within two years it was liberated. I was in Canada 2001 – when 9/11 took place. Unfortunately you have few facts misplaced over here.
