Monkey Business

I am quite certain u all know what i am going to write about...ok if i have to spell it out for ya..then it is about the Sydney Test fiasco. Let me start off by saying that i am actually a great admirer of Andrew Symonds. The guy should be called Mr Cricket (i think his 'white' friend Hussey is called that) simply because of the fact that there is absolutely nothing he cannot do. He bats like Bheema with a bat instead of a mace. He fields like as though the field is as soft as a mattress and the ball is as soft as an orange. He bowls both off-spin and seam-up and ends up making a monkey (can i say that!) out of the batsmen. He is extremely versatile and frankly i dont think australian cricket could reach the place it has without him...and Warne and Mcgrath and Hayden and Ponting...ok ok they can reach any where they bloody hell want. However no one can deny that he has brought a dimension to the sport..especially since the aussies have a knack of picking specialist and not really into all-rounders.


Now about all this monkey business. To me it is absolutely disgraceful. The guy doesnt look like a monkey at all. Ape yes but monkey no. Sure they belong to the same family and all...but there is a huge difference between the animals u know. U really cant blame anyone for stating the similarity. U really ought to take care of ur experience Andy. Firstly lose the dread locks. They r hideous to the point that u just dunno whether to wince or to laugh at it. Then dont mess around with ur lips dude...it ain't hip..the white paint that u have all the time provides a very awkward contrast. I am quite certain u take or of this then u could have a much better appearance.

Coming back to the actual incident. Jury is still out on whehter Bhajji actually used that dreaded bad word-Monkey. I am flumoxed here once again. Bhajji was doing quite well as it is being the pain in the ass of all the bowlers why was there any need for him to rub it in further. Besides the footage was not conclusive at all and as a result everyone has come out with their own assuptions. Not one to be left out...I too beleive this is what happened :

Monkey: U @#$@ @##$$%#@@ !! how the hell u hit brett on the back side
Bhajji: Kya? (What?)
Monkey: *&%^* (#$@%# !! u deaf or what ... didnt u hear what i said
Bhajji: Arre thu pehle seedhe bath kar...muhje kuch samaj nahi aah raha hai ( Arre why dont u speak properly first...can't seem to understand a word ur saying)
Monkey : $*#($&*@ *$(#@*#(#!!
Bhajji: oye theri ma ki aankh (oye shove it)
Monkey: did u just call me a monkey
Bhajji: What? Ma ki......
Monkey: yea yea ..u called me a moneky..right there..just there...u called me a monkey...Ricky..oh Ricky...!!@@#!@!@ .. this !#@#$!@ called me a monkey....$#$@***
Ricky: really? did u call him a monkey?
Bhajji: Kya? Arre ye kya ho raha hai (what? what on earth is going on)
Ricky: u sure he called u one...coz i have half the mind of lodging a complaint...the guy keeps getting me out..
Monkey: Yea man...actually that was the point..ur a disgrace as a captain with this bloke getting u out all the time.. lets complain..
Ricky: Yea...think no longer..this is it...we complain...oh umpire!!

and the rest as they say is history.

A year indeed!!

To those have actually taken time out of their lives to check out my blog...(God be with u)...i must say with great pride that my blog has completed one year and that i appreciate u al for visiting and reading. It does amaze me that one year has gotover so qucikly coz it seems just like yesterday that i was sitting with impy and wishing her a happy new year..to which she responded by looking at my with absolute disdain and dropped her head down to resume her slumber.

I too am not the kind of person who really likes to make a big thing about new year celebration. I have never kept any resolution, coz they never last beyond the first week, and i never go out of way to change my perception of life...which is a simple one..it sucks. I infact feel a it awkward when i folks come over to me and plant this huge kiss on my forehead or cheek and give me this big hug and shout, as though i am deaf, the words.."HAPPY NEW YEAR"...this bout of effection i am not used to.

I thing i never fail doing is recounting what all happened the year gone by and generally i end up crystallizing it further and further till i can describe the year in word...Good or Bad. However this time around i am in quite a quandry as i can't say for sure whether the year was a good one or not. So i feel the best word for 2007 would be 'interesting' and that year really has 365 days (whoa, observation avi). That is all i have to say for the moment as i head into a week of total inactivity with my classes only starting on the 14th...that's right my final sem!! I hope u all have a great year ahead...so long...cheers...
