The comic side of the gentleman's game

The exit’s that way mate!

Cricket is a funny game. And every individual has their own funny side. So here are a few one-liners that are compiled based on the performances or the nature of various individuals from the Gentlemen’s Game.

  1. After, the recently concluded series against New Zealand, Andrew Strauss would just need to send the Series scorecards as an Open letter to Kevin Pietersen.
  2. I think it is time that the CSK fans just get over the fact that their team reaches the IPL Final almost every time. Reaching the final and winning it are two different things altogether.
  3. After the series defeat to Bangladesh, even Team India has started to broadcast a response advertisement for the Zimbabwe tour, to show that they are indeed the big boys of the game.
  4. Players always reserve their best performances for the biggest occasions. (Sir) Ravindra Jadeja always reserves it for the Ranji matches, by scoring a triple century.
  5. Following the footsteps of David Beckham, who had insured his legs; Shikhar Dhawan is considering an insurance policy for his mustache.
  6. India is possibly the best encourager of new talent. The team never lets a debutant disappoint. (Michael Clarke, Alastair Cook, Kane Williamson, Jimmy Neesham, etc. – All scoring debut Test centuries & Lance Klusner, Jason Krejza and the new Bangladeshi star Mustafizur Rahman, to mention the least.)
  7. Clouds over the inclusion of Josh Hazlewood for the Ashes, on the claims that he may be too soft to sledge the English.
  8. One of the easier ways of dismissing Sachin Tendulkar is having Steve Bucknor, as the umpire.
  9. South Africa to hire an anti-chocking coach for the next ICC tournament, helping them to work on ways not to choke rather than cricketing skills.
