half a pill

There's a show on NDTV right now called ''Pitch Battle'' which has Sir Barry Richards (legend), Ajay Jadeja, Dean Jones (good to have him back!) & Imran Khan.

One of the topics being discussed was how one calms himself before an India Vs Pak game. Imran Khan had this to say (more or less),

''I used to take a sleeping pill every time before an India Pakistan game because sleep is essential! Without sleep, you can't function the next day and its almost impossible to sleep before a game like that. I used to make sure every player on the team would take half a sleeping pill the night before the match. Unfortunately they've banned that pill now because it became widely used as a date-rape drug.''

I guess Asif and Shoaib weren't the first to discover pills...although with them I think it was more syringes than pills. Poor old Warnie...sitting out a WC and a year...what a price to pay for vanity. Warnie you legend. (Yes out of context but you have to agree no).

the ''black'' spot

In case the apology isn't forthcoming, Shoaib has threatened to take both to court, according to the report, for their 'insulting behaviour' during the Test and adds that the bowler is willing to pull out of Pakistan's squad for the World Cup.

I haven't come across any other cricketer in living memory who is so full of shit. This guy needs to be barred from going anywhere near a cricket ground. What I feel terrible about is guys like Younis Khan, Inzi-bhai and Mohammed Yusuf, all simply class cricketers (not to mention the jewel that was Saeed Anwar) have to play along side and share dressing rooms with this moron.
