Cricinfo Quotes

Some hilarious fan comments on cricinfo during the recent India-SL test and ODI series, much more entertaining these days than the cricket itself:

"I wonder if this Test was just a big plan by Sri Lanka to see whether Randiv has the stamina for Test cricket"................ (opinions galore about the feather-bed in SSC, 2nd test)

"Idea to keep test cricket alive: In a situation like this, bowling team can choose one from viewers in the stadium to bowl...it will increase the number of ppl that come to stadiums and of course the bowlers get some rest from thrashing. " ..................... (a brilliant idea comes up as India struggle to bowl SL out in the 2nd test)

"Its not fair to demand for seaming pitches like in England. Bowlers then get used to getting wickets very easily. If you keep on grabbing mangoes just by jumping a feet high, u can't learn climbing trees ever!" ................... (another interesting thought comes out)

"Looking at the state of the match the discussion of mangoes looks more interesting, my favourites are the alphonso one, can jump 2 feet for that." .................... (the conversation gets interesting)

"My grandma makes the best mango chutney in the world" ............... (mangoes surely are a topic to discuss)

"The only way India is going to take 10 Sri Lankan wickets is by convincing Di Caprio and Co. to plant idea's in the Sri Lankan batsmen's minds" ..... (now the inception fever catches on)

"A Friday morning muse... "Wonder what happened to Jacob Martin... What is Sujit Somasundar doing now..Vikram Rathore... O, Brother art thou?" ........... (some dude gets nostalgic of the 90s)

"Jacob Martin and Sujith Somasunder are at this moment having a few beers with Devang Gandhi, Debashsish Mohanty and Prashant Vaidya."............... (more 90s nostalgia)

"Vikram Rathode is in training department of HCL technologies, as a domestic market specialist.. i attended his special session last week on "How to rule the domestic market"........... (the guy elaborates how Vikram Rathore has moved on in his life)

"Sri Lankans are a bunch of SORE LOSERS. If i was the Indian Captian, i would walk my team out of the series and go back home" ......... (someone's not impressed with SLs strategy of denying Sehwag a 100)

"Ravana bhakts have decided to emulate the Pakis!" .......... (more like it)

"Curious: Why do they call it a 'cow corner'? Randiv: That is the area where the bowlers get milked the most by the bastmen!" ........ (Randiv is a hot favourite among Indians these days)

"India's WC prospects depend heavily on Jadeja's performance in the upcoming matches, worse he performs, better would be India's chances, as they surely would do better without him" .................. (and Ravindra Jadeja is not too far behind)

"Ravindra Jadeja is Dhoni's surprise weapon for the World Cup. He will persist with him till just before, and drop him for the Cup. Then the other teams won't know where to run!" ........ (another Jadeja fan)

"Jadeja has taken out 1 nail from his own coffin and has put it into Kapugedera's coffin" ....... (who is better is the topic of discussion, just after Jadeja gets the wicket of Kapu)
