 This is how SLC’s District system works. Very recently a district coach had commandeered three under 15 cricketers to a District pool from one of the leading cricketing institutions in this country who had provided more than their fair share to the national grid. However this District coach had failed to inform neither the school authorities nor the school coach about this move.
There was a huge furore as to what the criteria of selection and how the choice was made.
Then when the school authorities probed into the matter they funnily discovered that one of the cricketers selected by this District Coach had played only one match for the season and in that he has scored an almighty ‘duck’.
Someone confided –“There are better lads in the pool than the three cricketers commandeered by the District Coach”.
 Lucky correspondents
The Commonwealth Games will begin in New Delhi today and the Sri Lanka contingent took wing to the event on Thursday.
The talk in sports circles is that two Provincial Correspondents too have found their way into the press team just because they hail from the cool climates where a certain big wig holds a big say. How lucky can some get!
Not done Umpire
A certain umpire who is in hot water for certain allegations and who also happens to hold a very important post in the body was removed from umpiring by the body concerned. However he was seen officiating a certain cricket game even with the ban on. How brave can some get?
Foul mouthed official
It has been noted that a certain official of a leading sport that is played with shuttles uses foul mouthed language at meetings. This time the official concerned was heard using his foul language on another top official. This official wields so much power just because he is a close friend of an even greater being.
More shuttle trouble
More on the sport that is played with shuttles. A top level tournament took place in the Central Province which was graced by the big wig of the sport. The Central Province man was there to watch the games for which the big wig found objectionable and wanted to throw the guy out. But students of the sport got in his way and threatened to throw the trouble maker out if he does not calm down. How confident can one get?
New roof, but it leaks
Now that the 2011 World Cup tournament is around the corner, the Stadiums are being upgraded at a fanatic rate. One such Stadium in Colombo has a new roof but it is said that water leaks into the interior, especially after the recent rains. Do the builders think that there will be no rain at all during the oncoming World Cup?
Cry of the whistle
Why are the whistlers of the oval ball grumbling that they are not paid for what they have done? It is all to do with clashes of the mouths say those who know.
He went to Kandy
Mushi went to Kandy via Puttlam they say and is paying for the sins of the mouth in the whistlers who are not liked by the mouth in the Big Union. We hear they went that way to see a car that was repaired. Where was Her Highness the Royal Princess is a big question.
Roy and the cop
A cop they say is on line to be the next big boss of the Oval Ball Whistle boys. Roy the Cowboy is drawing from the hip building stories about the copper. What is known as his family gets away with lots of things and others bring news to the Reid Avenue Office as they want a change . SOOOO MAYYYYYY as usual has started to canvas for the boss to put a puppet. |
