Richard asks…
What are the chances of India winning the World Cup…?
A friend mailed me this…..
May 2011
After its debacle in the recent World Cup cricket(2011), scared of the public ire against its performance, the Indian players decided to stay indoors for some days.
Ultimately Sehwag decided to venture out, disguised himself wearing a veil. A lady came and greeted him. Sehwag ran back into hiding.
The next day he went out disguised in another costume. Once again the same lady accosted him. Frustrated he asked, “How the hell, did you recognize me?”
The ‘lady’ replied, “Come on, Viru, that’s very easy. I am Sachin Tendulkar!”
