Join the Indians after the Bangladesh match

by Gaurav Sethi

After the previous two pre-match meetings, both in the swimming pool, the team is back on land, at the bar, sipping on their mocktails. And because there is no intention to get high, in jest, the players are lowering a toast. Sehwag, fondly Viru, the Jatman, is the first to lower a toast…

Viru: Gary, thanks for making me believe that the white ball is not that different from the red ball. Thanks for making me practice against the white ball in whites to simulate half test half ODI conditions, then in blue against the red ball and finally in blue against the white ball. Only you had the patience to talk me through my hate for this lowly form of cricket. Now I feel one day cricket is not that different from test cricket. I only hope I don’t start hating test cricket because of yo

Gary (lowers his toast, deadpan as ever) Thanks Viru, I hope it doesn’t come to that…Virat, you like to make a toast

Kohli (getting off the phone with Mallaya Jr): Yeah, Bangladesh is toast…

MSD who has been silent for some time now, steps in…

MSD (lowers toast) Well of course this is in the right spirit even though we are having mocktails and there are no spirits involved but we still have a few niggles and Sreesanth as Viru rightly said was the only player who did not do well so let me take this opportunity to lower a toast to Sree

Sreesanth’s nostrils further dilate at the reminder

Sreesanth: But I can dance, sing, I even sung a song for the Indian team when I wasn’t in it

MSD: Well of course you can still sing it

Sreesanth (overcome with emotion at being wanted): You serious? I can sing? Dance too?

Sachin (interrupts as he hints at exiting) Er..it’s getting’ dark…

Sreesanth (who mistakes that for Sachin singing continues) too dark to see, I feel like I’m knocking on heaven’s door…knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door…

MSD: Gary, of course Sree is very talented…see out of Sachin’s comment he has made a new song…and like Viru he is also better off in test cricket so can you first make him practice with red ball in whites then red ball in blues and then white ball in blues because if it worked with Viru who knows it can work with Sree

Gary (reluctant) Err…I dunno…I can try…

Sreesanth (running out of the room, returns with a red ball in his whites): When can we start??

Viru (to Sree): You come with me, I will make you bowl at me for 50 overs…
