Sunil Gavaskar has come out and said Australia and England approach the games like dinosaurs.
Importantly he didn’t say what dinosaurs.
I am assuming England are the Diplodocus. They can’t really damage you unless they accidentally stand on you, but they do have a whippy tail that does some damage.
Australia on the other hand are more like a Tyrannosaurus rex. They make a lot of noise, look angry, eat meat, and have really short arms.
Sunil himself is a dinosaur, he’s a Dilophosaurus, you know the little ones that spit at you.
Sunil has a valid point, cricket administracrats have run over all comers for years on cricket matters.
Which is exactly what I expect India to do for the next few years at least.
India aren’t taking control of world cricket so they make world cricket better, they are taking over so they can make decisions that help cricket in India.
But is that not the aim of all cricket boards, to get the biggest piece of the pie, to get the best conditions, to make sure your men are elected to all the prettiest chairs.
New Zealand would be raptors, small but relatively smart.. still a threat to the smaller minnow dinosaurs and able to work well together and hunt as a pack. No match for the bigger predators however.Harbajahn Sing would most definately be a Stegosaurus – A slow moving and chubby planteater (favourite being the curry herb) with thick armour and a brain the size of a walnut.
I played Mrs Diplodocus in my year one school assembly. I got to wear a fine pair of stylish egg cartons as a hat, as all self-respecting diplodocus-teachers do. It was a starring role and my finest hour I tell you.Are you sure we Aussies aren’t velociraptors, or is that too much credit? You know, the ones that stalked those kiddies in Jurassic Park. I don’t know, is it cooler to be a T-rex or a Velociraptor?
Valid argument UJ… which brings us exactly to the point of why others are creating a racket over everything the indian board does. The others were doing the same…. no different.
oh yeah… recent evidence shows that the Tyrannosaurus rex was vegetarian :)
Because people of all colours whinge Scorp. White, brown, black and beige.
Need more beige people. Indians should copulate more with other races. That is the solution for all the worlds ills.
John, more sex for everyone, especially with people of a different skin colour.Brilliant, now if any non white girls want me there know how to find me.
Non-white girls, you say? If I know of any, I’ll pass on your details.
Think SMG’s comments get more attention than they are due. That said its been a slow cricket week and nobody’s called anybody names so I guess he fills a void. Anyway, he was talking about people like Christopher Martin Jenkins and not some particular country…But if we take that line, it doesnt make for juicy copy, I suppose.
Raptors fall victim to long haired dinosaurs with improbable names?BTW, was the beige reference a dig at the raptors?
LB, no it was not, it was a jab at administracrats who are beige. SFX, I agree slow news week, but I always loved dinosaurs and wanted to show off my grade two knowledge of them. Mims, cheers.
Has it really been a slow news week? There were 2 simultaneous test matches that started earlier in the week, one ended this morning and another started.So 6 international nations involved in a series yet no news? We need more of the Aussies and Indians playing or Indian journalists covering other nations’ cricket.But ICC got a new CEO, Lawson asked for Yousuf and Afridi to be dropped, Pak and Lanka bowed to IPL pressure, Gavaskar was asked to choose between his dual roles.. there was plenty going on.And I know this despite being relatively inactive during this week cause of conferences and trainings and seminars. Ugh!
