New Cricket Rules(A forward.. But worth a read!)

Hi all,

After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification

(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.

Happy New Year...

Numero Uno!

Well, this is the first of a dedicated series of posts about people in everyday life.. (Not actually my idea, but a brilliant one, never the less!) So it kinda is difficult to choose numero uno!
But i guess "opposites attract" should be the first..
Met this person when we were small little kids.. All of 16 yrs.. But still oddly different.. Different cause all the "normal" things didn't seem to attract him one tiny bit.. Not girls, not games, not the movies, not the cool hangouts, nothing.. Sort of weird for someone that age, huh?!
We became pals thanks to our common friend base from BP.. The journey since has been more than a fun ride!
Getting addicted to the now can't live without 'AoE'; understanding a little bit of economics, money making, the stock market; finding out places which serve you cheap but awesome food(read: khichadi); figuring out that ether anesthesia works, thanks to some experiments(don't ask me what they were); reading up on all weird little elements of history(and with me forgetting all of them); realizing that happiness can be found even in the smallest of places and a lot more; all thanks to him.. I guess a few of the things i've picked up from him are not what i would say the old me would.. But as chemistry text books aptly put it, opposites do attract!
God bless you, old friend of mine..
