Ugly Champs...................

Down the way,
Where the nights are gay,
And the sun shines
Brightly on the mountain tops...........
I took a trip
On a sailing ship,
When I reached Jamaica
I made a stop.......
So, goes the favorite calypso of the Indian maestro Sunil Gavaskar. Maybe he is still in India, but his comments are surely giving sleepless nights to one Mr.Ponting. Who cannot digest the fact that the behaviour if his team his way below the expected. He retorted at Sunil by pointing to his behaviour on the field. He asked Gavaskar to look at the performance of the Indian team, when Sunny bhai merely said that the Aussies do not make likeable champs, in his column in an Indian weekly.
Sunny said that the Windies were likeable champs, and the Aussies were not like that. This is true. I sometimes feel Ponting has to be whacked hard on the backside, for pointing fingers @ the Umpires.His behaviour @ times makes me wanna throw up!
Rewind in time.Go to the Champs trophy final in Mumbai. Iam sure everyone knows what Iam talking about. Yes. Iam talking about the Martyn-pushing-Powar incident. Is that how champs behave? Forget about the apology . that was hard extracted...Do they have to be soo drunk with the spirit of their victory, that they become absolute mavericks?
Maybe all champs are like this, then wat about one man who speaks as many languages as he does with his racquet? Maybe he is an exception. Winners like Brazil make their game look beautiful. And yes, they behave pretty good.
The Aussies going into the WC with injuries, and bad form will look to dominate their group matches. So maybe they should try harder to behave better on the field. They are all nice blokes off the field.
Tags remain SA are still labled chokers, despite them chasing 400-odd runs in that epic final @ The WANDERERS. Ponting has to work very hard. Or else as Sunny Bhai said with his morning cup of chai, theyll be whacked in a bar for that behaviour.
................................My heart is down
My head is turning around
I have to leave a little girl in KINGSTON town...................
Thats the first verse.
ADIOS PEOPLE! THATZ IT FROM ME!!
