Tongue Wagging – Australian For Defeat

Technorati Tags: Cricket,Australia,India

There have been quite a few news articles about Australian cricketers that, according to me, were quite funny.

1) Ricky Ponting complaining about the former players behavior and because they behaved bad, they cannot criticize his behavior.

2) Mathew Hayden complaining about the facilities in India after he went back to Australia.

3) Funniest of all, Symmonds takes to drinking because he was disappointed that Cricket Australia did not support him enough in the “Monkey Gate” incident.

Disgrace! You jokers!! Its a shame that you guys cannot take a defeat gracefully. How disappointing.

Yes, the media has been unnecessarily harsh on the Australians questioning their capabilities of being world leaders in cricket. But, none of these is reason enough for them to talk nonsense like this.

Symmonds!  He must be a really silly guy. Someone who takes to drinking for a silly incident that he should have thrown off his mind and let his bat do the talking goes binging. Look at his massive figure and what he talks, you would end up laughing for an hour.

The next huge figure, Mathew Hayden. Despite getting a special assistance from Assistant coach Greg Chappell and a very special treatment from the Rajastan Cricket Acadamy, despite getting additional facilities for practice, despite his captain publicly admitting in one of the post-match ceremonies that the hospitality in India has been wonderful, he goes back and calls India, a Third World country because someone stood in front of the sight screen.  If that person has not stood in front of the sight screen for a few seconds, Australians would have won the test series 3-0. Gentleman! if you cannot accept defeat gracefully and bounce back with your game, you are Third Rate!!! We hope you are not one.

Ponting, one of world cricket’s best captains. This must be a joke. It just took 2 players to retire to prove that he was not one. He has been talking too much non-sense. He once sarcastically said, “A third test match may not be required!”. It turned out to be true, Australians lost the first two.

Great going Aussie boys. We are learning the Aussie Language everyday. Now we know “Tongues Wagging”  means Australian for defeat.

A Melifluous Morning….Well, almost!

Its 6:15 AM in the morning. I am standing in my balcony with my cup of tea, biscuits and a good book. The weather is just perfect. Its gloomy, not warm, not cold, the right amount of chill in the breeze and the gentle breeze that touches you every few seconds and makes the skin feel Goosebumps.

The crickets or whatever insects are hissing like kinder garden kids in the last bench whispering to each other in the presence of a teacher. The birds have starting tuning up and are slowly starting their orchestra. Each bird has a unique sound. One whistling, one cooing, one crowing, one sounding like a flute. A couple of women are going for a walk. The sound of their heals going “churk” “churk”. At a distance, I thought I could faintly hear Skanda Shashit Kavasam, a tamil religious song. I am not sure if the song was my imagination. But, in all, the sounds were slowly coming together to make a perfect symphony.

My mind waking up slowly enjoying the morning raga. Ah! the freshness of a beautiful morning.

The dogs started barking at a distance and then it happened. A van that came in to the EMPTY street but the fricking driver blaring the darn horn putting a full stop to the crickets, birds and every sound of nature. The peace in me vanished and my mind started foul mouthing that Ba*****. It just took a couple of seconds for that fool to spoil the happiness of so many souls.

Damn the dogs and God Damn the stupid, brainless human beings that cannot, for a moment, enjoy the beauty that is all around them. As Calvin says “The surest sign that intelligent life exists outside earth, is that they never tried to contact us”. True! I guess all the intelligent life exists outside the earth. Mother Earth! you are an unfortunate soul!
