RAINBOW AS SEHWAG POURS
By Bobbilli Vijay Kumar/TNN
Mohali: Virender Sehwag probably does not like sitting in the pavilion, strapped to leg-guards and doodling away with an unwieldy willow.
He is India's new man in a hurry and he smartly turned his impatience into a virtue here on a rain seduced Wednesday. Riding on two lives, a sharp eye and quicksilver reflexes, he cut and drove towards his ninth Test century and Pakistan to virtual despair.
Reminds me of another one.
This was Sanjay Manjrekar.
Bangladesh Vs Zimbabwe Test match in Dhaka. (I have had desperate times in life when I had nothing better to do in life than watch this one on TV)
Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar was being given some short pitch treatment.
First time he get hit on shoulder. Second time, heagain goes for the hook and ball pops up but he is safe. Nex time, the leg side is packed behind square. Square Leg, Deep Fine Leg on the fence.
Short ball and Bashar still goes for the hook shot.
Commenting on Bashar's shot selection Manjrekar says
"Bangladeshi skipper is a compulsive hooker"
.....Breif pause in commentary...Coca cola Ad.

Reminds of me Chaatu's (a.k.a SC) timeless saying - "Its all a matter of perception. Its the same difference you know!"
So, you never know. Perhaps, Bobilli was creative in thought.
Reminds me of another advertizing screw-up - "Nothing 'sucks' more than our vacuum cleaner"
There is this most hilarious one I heard on a cricket programme/ read it on a website. I forget the details but I reckon it was county match in which Michael Holding, the great fast bowler, was playing. As he approached the batsman, the commentator ( on whom the story really was) said:
"The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willie."
:D
S!
That was freaking hilarious ROTFL
