Azar to fix Congress jinx

Mohammad 'Fixer' Azaruddin has finally joined politics to serve the people. Ya, u heard me right-- to serve the people, I guess we all know how good he served the nationa and its people during his stint in the Indian team.

There is no question that with his credential as a prolific fixer, he would be a good bet for Congress, who are in desperate need of fixers as apart from Pranab Mukherjee they don't have good fixers who can fix everything, i mean everything (read between the lines).

Azar has said that Cricket is his forte but he still doesn't know what he is good at. Well, for someone who has played 334 ODIs and 99 tests and still doesn't know what he is good at, what can the people except of him.

The former skipper said he wanted to join a secular party. No doubt, who else would have given him a lease of life and a chance to resurrect his lost fame then the most Secular "Muslim-appeasing" party of India. His desperation is also evident when he says that he is ready to fit in any role that the party offers him. Any role, mind it!

The Hyderabadi also revealed his plans of bringing at least five to 10 percent change in the system. Well, I feel we are all aware what he can do, given the reigns. The way he pushed the Indian team in the throes of darkness and shame, with no strecth of imagination we can decipher what he is capable of. Given a chance he would like to change, twist, turn, cut, slice and throw the systems out of gear, to meet his nefarious agenda -- that's all I can atleast thing of.

Well, there is no question of his fixing ability, but there is a serious doubt as how he would interact with the people in a rally because as far as my experience goes, I could never gauge a single word that u uttered or muttered. Perhaps he will take a leaf out of Party President's book.
Watch out for 'Mr Fixer'!

Cricket Bluffs

A lot has transpired within the cricketing world in these few weeks. Well, I have been off for more than eternity so the margin or the contours of these 'few' weeks is for u to decide. The good thing for me and the worst thing for you is that I am back, hopefully not to go away for yet another eternity ride. Well, before u start scratching ur hair off in disdain or hurl abushes at me, let me stop my gibbering and get straight to business? Well so here it....

1. Sri Lanka has battered the Pakistani bowlers so hard that they have decided to go on an exile and not to think about playing Test cricket for another 14 months.

2. Intelligence sources say the flat and drab wicket that Pakistan laid for the first test is a ploy employed by the Pakistan cricket board to allure the foreign countries to play in the strife-torn nation as it will guarantee sure win for the visitors.

3. Listening to the news, Australia have already asked Cricket Australia to pitch for a test match series in Pakistan before the South Africa Tour so that they can gather some valuable points winning so as to retain their number one ranking.

4. Meanwhile, Australian players have decided to skip the second edition of the Indian Premier League to take proper rest but insiders say they CA have deliberately asked Ponting and co to stay away from the IPL as they will give away their strategy to the Graeme Smity's men during their stint in the IPL.

5. Kevin Pietersen have burnt his fingers in the Stanford twenty20 winner-lose-it-all, i mean winner-take-it-all series and now he is gearing up to compensate the loss by clubbing his willow in the IPL.

6. Considering Stanford's arrest in the alleged muti-billion forgery and Kevin Pietersen's association with Stanford, the US intelligence authorities will be a scanner placed on Bangalore Royal Challengers' boss Vijay Mallya. So they can sniff another scam.
