JAM version of Sidhuisms - Part 2

Here are few more goodies – courtesy Sanjay Laad, our friend from Australia – before Rajesh’s riot takes centrestage.

  • He is trying to avoid the jet-lag by taking an earlier flight. (On Ganguly promoting himself to open the innings to get out of the bad patch)
  • The only length he has maintained so far on this tour is of his hair. (On Gillispie's bowling form on the Ashes tour)
  • Finally he has made a correct decision. (On the news that Steve Bucknor might retire soon)
  • It’s very hard to get him run out. His tummy is already at the other end. On Arjuna Ranatunga's increasing waistline.
  • His barber charges him $12 for haircut, $2 for cutting and $10 for finding them. (On Darren Lehmann's bald plate)
  • He has this thing in common with Michael Jackson, They both wear gloves for no apparent reason. (On the terrible wicket-keeping of Geraint Jones in the first Test)
  • Ah..finally he has caught something. (On Parthiv Patel being sick with cold)
  • Right-arm...somewhere on the pitch...if he's lucky. (On Steve Harmison's bowling last time he toured Australia)
  • I don’t like fielding in dis position. (Harmison, when asked to use the word 'Indisposition' in a sentence)
  • He will have to wait to let the Pigeon among the cats. (On Glenn McGrath – whose nickname is Pigeon - tipped to miss the next test due to injury)
  • This is the first time blood has travelled to that part of his body. (On Shane Warne attributing his ridiculous shot to Daniel Vettori when he was on 99 to a sudden rush of blood)
  • After a long time his bat is creating headlines instead of his balls. (On Shane Warne's two fighting innings)
  • The fielding today from both sides have been poorer than a pickpocket in a nudist colony. (On Australia and England dropping so many catches in the second Test)
  • He is the early to bed, early to ‘rise’ kind of guy. And because of all that he gets up pretty late in the morning (On Warnie's many fleeting affairs)
  • He is getting old for sure. Anyone who trips over his balls while practicing is getting a bit long in the.....tooth. (On Glenn McGrath rolling over the ball while practicing before the second Test)
  • Bad idea to send Warnie. We wanted to send him to the English camp to learn the secrets of reverse swing. He went to the "Reverse swinger's party" in Hampshire all night...Bugger. (On Australians plotting plans to counter the reverse swing by Freddie Flintoff and Simon Jones )
  • If it swung anymore, it will come back at him. (On the amount of reverse swing generated by Simon Jones)
  • He reminded the world of his highest score of 500 in just three innings - although in the wrong order. (On Lara's scores of 0,5,0 in the ODIs)
