Just when you assume that Cricket Australia can’t make you laugh, they pour acid in your ear and light your pubes on fire.
It didn’t seem to matter that Greg Chappell as a coach was like being made to kill your own dog, Cricket Australia seem to love him.
Perhaps it was because all of them owned the Greg Chappell hats as kids, or maybe they’ll all mental cuntards.
Either way, they have now outdone themselves and given Chappell the first ever full time selector role.
His first decision was to axe Sourav Ganguly.
No one had the heart to explain that he couldn’t.
But, and this is where Cricket Australia really outdid themselves, then they gave him a title.
It could have been “full time selector”, but that would be too sensible.
Instead his title is, “national talent manager”.
It seems like the title was made just to make people laugh so hard they didn’t notice Greg Chappell was given another job even though his record is pretty piss poor.
Why does he even need a title, he is a selector, that is a title, he is a massive cup of shit coffee, that is a title.
“Greg Chappell has been performing his duties as a shit cup of coffee for Australia quite well, and we have signed him on for another year”.
That could work.
“Greg Chappell has been busy managing the talent of Australia, he has spent long hours talent managing, and no one has a grip on the talent like Greg does”.
Maybe it all makes sense. It could be that Cricket Australia actually hate Greg Chappell, and he has blackmailed them into giving him another job.
So they thought, fuck this guy, lets give at least give him a stupid title, and since we call the selectors the NSP, no one will ever suspect us.
Those cunning bastards.
They’re always one step ahead.
Ofcourse, they still have Greg Chappell.
Poor bastards.
Greg Chappell maybe the first person to get a job in cricket when he is dead, well not the first, the first outside of England.
Worst coach after Maradona and Kapil Dev. I hope he is coming back to India for the tests later this year. Nobody can jinx a tour as bad as him.
Maybe they’re planning an ‘Australia Cricket’s got Talent’ show of their own.
Has Ponting been sacked yet?
I don’t know how he’ll do with Australian Team. But in India, he did pretty well as “Talent Damager”. Saurav, Zaheer, Harbhajan, and above all Sehwag were almost demolished.
Promoting Irfan Pathan as an All-rounder was a Master-Stroke. He was left neither a bowler nor a batsman at the end of it all.
Rahul Dravid forgot his defense and started playing like Rizwan Uz Zaman. Sachin Tendulkar forgot he was Sachin Tendulkar and started playing like Dravid.
It was sweet revenge for Chappell when he almost completely sidelined Laxman for turning the 2001 Eden Epoch and turning the series upside down.
With this amazing track record, Chappell will have some real job on hand. Australia are in the process of rebuilding. They look to be damn good unit in spite of a spte of retirements. Can Chappell outdo himself with Cricket Australia?
Can he ? Let us wait !
@govind – nice one.
You think that’s bad. It would seem that that steaming pile of poo John Buchanen is angling for a job in the England set-up. His record as coach of Australia may have been good, but let’s face it even a complet dullard would have succeeded with that side – maybe even Greg Chappell! Ok, maybe not everyone.
I guess he will be on the India tour to do some “mental disintegration” . Would love it if he is bought on to do commentry with Saurav.
john Buchanan has definitely been sent by the ACB to England to act as a “cooler” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cooler). See, just the news of his appointment there led to England reverting to old habits against Pakistan. Then again it is Pakistan. One day, they make you look awesome, the other, they make you look like duffers.
@Jrod, dude what’s your RT “Entire Sri Lankan Cricket Team Suspended By SLC for Thrashing India” about? That article’s a joke, right? O_o
WTF, Twas a joke article I think you’ll find.
so basically what Govind Raj is trying to say
“He was spy within spy like Angelina jolie of salt” – but in a bad way hahaha
let’s see how many players who don’t erect properly will be out of team. Watch out CA you must erect all the time, otherwise everyone will be neutered. hahaha
Talent Manager? That was the title some dogshit-on-your-shoe-is-more-appealing human resources types called themselves at a place I worked once. And yes, they were a bigger bunch of backstabbing, political jobsworths than most of the other HR people I’ve had the misfortune to deal with in my stunted career.
And while I’m at it, human resources? Don’t piss in my eye and call it Visine. You are the personnel department.
Apologies if I’ve inadvertently insulted a ‘Talent Manager’ who doesn’t pretend to have the best interests of staff at heart whilst being the sharp edge of the dark satanic cubicle bosses. I suppose there must be one or two of you in the world with a heart and without horns but you should know that just about everyone else in the building hates you with a passion.
Can anyone tell that I’ve just started back working in an office?
