 A cricketer and official from the South, quite well known for his verbal assaults was seen at Hambantota recently directing Media vehicles at a now popular cricket venue where a match was being played against a visiting team. We at this end are wondering how he got this job. The man in question has said that the big man in the sport had given him this job but the big man says ‘no’. Added to that he was even abusing the media in such rotten language that they were left to wonder from where this chap has come.
Citadel…. Your slip is showing!!!
Now the opposition to the new administration at the Citadel is shouting “Hey, your slip is showing”. First they say how come the Southern grass eater was given the opportunity to bring the ushers to the Kandy game when there are people in Kandy. Then the next dart is thrown saying how come a man with an ICC investigation on match fixing is given to head the white coat committee. Next comes in the tri-action asking how come two match referees are given to handle the tournaments? Then they ask if there is a match dispute which side will they take?
 Interesting isn’t it?
The Chocolate mess
The Chocolates of the oval ball who come from the H-park have messed it up in style. The former champions who were at the tail-end of the fortunes came up suddenly this year thanks some crossovers and the purchase of two Polynesians into their fray.
However they were not destined to hold on to the newly acquired riches. They cup which eluded them for a couple of decades was in the visible distance when the troubles broke out.
While the club selectors were in the dark, some bright head chose his own team to take on the Sailors. The club president was invited to resolve the impasse that had erupted. Ironically the club head had decided stay-back and sent the club captain to face the wrath.
Sadly the final result was the selectors resigned and the sailors trashed the chocos and the club was back at square one.
The heat catches on
A cricket coach is now going around canvassing cricketers to join a club in Chilaw. It looks as if this chap has got the heat from his bosses as he was practically ordering cricketers to join this particular club, saying that they should not ignore this particular cricket playing institution.
 Shoddy treatment
No more buffet for the press. They are being doled out meal packets at recent international matches. However the headquarters of this game says that the press should be given Five Star Meals. Instead they are being given out these packets which are hardly edible. Now who or what could be the reason for this shoddy treatment of the gents of the fifth estate?
Spoilt mouth
A commentator who is reported to have a club of his own was heard bragging about this club in the Chilaw district. We are now wondering why he should be talking highly about this particular club and not giving any place to other clubs or for that matter, even his own. The other Division One clubs have now petitioned against his behaviour. They say that he has a spoilt mouth!
The present trend
They say that officials of a particular sport that is very much in the talk these days do not know how to address people. Is it the present trend which prevents people from talking civilly to people? People are shocked at the way that some of these officials who are in an organizing committee speak to people. How low can they get?
Odd shape
Foreign journalists are not happy about a particular stadium that has been the venue for top international games. They say that there is a wide gap between the boundary line and the rest of the ground. There is approximately a 50m gap between the boundary line and the rest of the ground giving the ground an odd shape.
Big battle
There is a big battle going on amongst those who are trying to get tenders in order to get a top stadium in shape. Some of these chaps have also been seen in the company of the leading types in the country trying to get the tender to upgrade this particular stadium. |
