Srikkanth gets it all mixed up!

Mithun has been announced as the replacement for Praveen Kumar for the Australian tour and have named comebck man, Irfan Pathan for the final two ODIs against the Windies.  Now isn't that mixed up?  It's supposed to be Mithun for the two ODIs and Pathan for the Aussie tour.

A reporter wanting to get to the bottom of this conspiracy caught up with the chairman of the selection panel, Krishnamachari Srikkanth and below is their conversation.


Reporter (R): So sir, are you sure you haven't mixed up the names, Mithun and Irfan Pathan?
Srikkanth (S): No machan.  It is perfectly correct only.  You only are wrong.  We selected Mithun for the final two ODIs against the West Indians and Yusuf Pathan for the Australian tour.
R: But sir, that is not what you announced.
S: What do you mean?  That only I said to everyone.
R: No sir.  You said that Mithun was selected for the Australian tour and that Irfan Pathan is there for the final two ODIs.
S: No...no...you are mistaken.  I said correctly only.  Now why would I announce Irfan Pathan in the team?  I said Yusuf Pathan, man.  You know....his brother.
R: I'm sorry sir, but that is not what you said.  And why is Yusuf Pathan in the mix?  Its Irfan Pathan.
S: What is wrong, machan?  You should pay more attention when I speak in the press conference.  And I find your love for Irfan Pathan disturbing.
R: But sir!  He is in terrific form!  He should have been selected for the tour down under!
S: What, man, are you saying?  I said, no...Yusuf is there.  Yusuf Patha, Irfan Pathan...they all are Pathan only.
R: ummm.....(*scratches his head*) yes sir.  They are both Pathan only.
S: So what is the problem, now?
R: But sir, that is not what you announced.  You said Mithun is going for Australia.
S: Poda...that and all I wouldn't have said.
R: But you did sir!  You did!  I have the proof right, here
S: Ayyyooo!  This is all a big mistake....I mean part of my plan....we want the best team for India and think Mithun will do good in Australia.  
R: But then what about Irfan Pathan?
S: What about him?
R: He should be the one going to Australia!
S: No machan.  Like I said, Mithun goes to Australia and Yusuf plays the ODIs.  
R: Why this kolaveri? (*the reporter now is contemplating suicide*)
S: So you want my autograph,da?  I'll sign for you.
R: arrrrrgghhhhhh!  (*runs for his life*)




We've got nothing more to say after that.
