That Fakhar !

[pee ratioActive Member]

adey these days ole pee is sitting and watching cricket neh champions trophy. That Fakhar Tissara perera dropping vital catch no. otherwise who knows chances for lanka also there.
but what is striking me is the strange names of cricketers of today. see from india, Hardick and Bumrah. oh what a bumrah of names no ? then Mossadick from bangladesh, dickwella for lanka.
whats with all the dicks ? no peeping toms or harry's.  
and that Fakhar from pakistan. super knock no. although india had a Hardick, it take a Fakhar to finish if off ! moral of the story.

then how about Kock from south africa. or Cumming from australia ? are you Cumming - yes i am Cumming he said. or Ball from england. commentator is saying Ball is batting. what balls !  
or Wood from england (must be always having morning glory no), or Ronchi from new zealand sounding quite raunchy what.

why cant the buggers have simple names like our sri lankans, 1.  Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas, 2. Materba Kanatha Gamage Chamila Premanath Lakshitha
3. Paththamperuma Arachchige Don Lakshan Rangika Sandakan, 4. Uda Walawwe Mahim Bandaralage Chanaka Asanka Welegedara  

in olden days they just named cricketers after their professions like (Nari) Contractor, (Farokh) Engineer, Cook, Marshall, Proctor, Smith, Nurse, Butcher, Baker, Shepherd, Miller etc

and the umpires like Dickie Bird and Darrel Hair.
that bugger Hair no balled our beloved Murali no ? Hair or no hair our Murali's Balls are fair, i say.  

and when Lillee was caught Dilley bowled Willey we were laughing no ?

Howzat umpire

Could have been a very entertaining writing if not the island mentality second last para.

Nice one PEE. Good entertainment.

We too have lots of talents on and off the field. Still our Sanath batting very well though he retired from international cricket.

Pakistan should thank Tissera Perera if not for him they wouldn't have come to the finals. The man of the series should be Tissera as he dropped the most important catch which changed the course of the entire tournament.

Keep writing PE.

Oh edited. ..

1) I saw this... and can only say this is one brilliant piece of writing. Apart from the Humor, there is so much hidden knowledge level in Pee posts. Did anyone notice the facts and accuracy !!  

He know his cricket teams from Engineers Contractor  to Lille's Willey.

2)  In reality , when Sri Lankan/Indians travel abroad and have to wrtie their names in applications , it hell of a mess.

First name : 10 charcters
Middle name : 10 character
Last Name : 15 characters

Big trouble. How will our Chaminda write his name?  


3)  Chinese when they go abroad, take up western names.
For example a Zhijie Cheng goes by Matthew ( not Zhijie).
He will also introduce as Matthew  ( not Zhijie).


4)  Not to mention in call centers where Indian are reps serving western companies, it fun to listen to a real Indian named Pooja Vasudevan
being representing  western person named   Jasmine .  But the accent sometimes give it away though.

5) Btw , thank for the Aussie lady cricky link .
Tempted to go to England now to see the Aussie Lassies.


ps :

Now I wonder , about the edit to your post.
Was something  truthful  said in the first place which was said  from your wide experience  and then had to edit it  later  .. hmm.

Interesting times. One thing for sure. Truth will win the longer term.
