Had to post this........from the cricket with balls website, i think he has to be the best cricket blogger out there.
"In a corner of a room, Ijaz Butt was crying.
The sounds of sobbing brought a startled flunky running. “Master! Master! Whatever is the matter?”
“Oh Salman,”, Butt wailed, “It’s all gone wrong”
“How, Master? How?”
“No-one finds us funny anymore. Salman”
“Surely not, Master”
“It’s true, Salman. We’ve tried it all – three captains who hated each other, suspending people and letting them come back right away, everything. We even gave Kamran Akmal wicketkeeping gloves!”
Salman is, by now, laughing so hard he can hardly breathe.
“But <gasp> Master, that’s <wheeze> hilarious <sob>!”
“No, Salman, it isn’t. Not any more. It was, but it is not now. No-one is laughing.”
“Might I make a humble suggestion, Master”
“Oh, go on. It can’t be worse than my idea of recalling Mohammed Yousuf”
“That’s just it, Master. Now we’ve recalled him, let’s arrange for him to only arrive the day before the Test. And then to claim that all of the flying has made him too tired to play”
“Go on.”
“And then we drop Kamran, and replace him with someone who has never taken a catch in international cricket”
“So, just like Kamran, but with the potential to be even worse?”
“Exactly, Master!”
“Salman, you’re a genius. Make it so!”
