Lady bug at it again
View(s):
The World T/20 Cricket Tournament has held our attention to the full since the contest started. Matches were played in Sooriyawewa, Pallekele and Colombo and no doubt those who liked the thrills and spills of this quick-fire version of the game must have enjoyed it to the hilt. There comes a story of the Lady bug at it again. She had a rollicking time painting the Hill Capital maroon with the team that hails from the islands that are famous for rum and calypsos. She had danced with the visitors until the wee hours of the morning despite holding a key post in the Ice Cream Conference organised competition. What’s more she has been sozzled to say the least and had even danced cheek to cheek with some of them not caring two hoots for the post she held in the contest
However it is also said that she is cutting the Citadel people to curry favours with the Ice Cream people.
Mums the word
Then the Lady bug has gone to the extent of bribing some media personnel to keep things that has been happening at this world event. Tee shirts, binoculars and other souvenirs had been doled out to some media personnel to keep their mouths shut like clams. But somehow or the other things had leaked out. They say that some things cannot be kept quiet. This is one of them.
First round KO
The scene shifts to the women who were involved in this world event. The hosts were nowhere but the coaches had a whale of a time pocketing their dues. There had been two head coaches. Both of them pocketed hefty fees despite the team being knocked out in the first round itself!
All for the family
Well whatever the outcome of the final would be there is one family who will never forget this competition. The entire family had been employed by the organizers in various capacities. The family had pocketed a sizable amount by doing various tasks at the contest. Everybody cannot have the luck of this family whose head had been a key figure in the game in the past. Thanks to Lady Luck or What?
Kicking the bucket
The scene now shifts the scorers at the contest. No doubt they form a valuable link in the competition because without them who will know what is happening in the middle. This particular official had gone to all the trouble to get a pass for him and not the others. When questioned about this he had jokingly said that he got the pass to see the matches in case someone kicks the bucket, he will be able to take his place.
The vanishing lady
Over now to a lady official who has been going around saying and even willing to take bets that the Sri Lankan lasses will enter the final. But after the local team was knocked out of the contest the lady has been missing from the scene. Lovers of the sport, specially ‘adi pudy’ version of the game, are wondering whether this lady had vanished into thin air.
