After a hard days play

Cricket!!!Everyone loves the game and its the game that drove some of my "gandhi" calssmates to bunk a maths class.
So we had a cricket match on a thankfully cloudy Saturday morning and it was all fun and tiring!!
The spirit was not down inspite of the debacle of a match Team India had against the Mighty Aussies who had a new trick up their sleeve or sleeveless tights or whatever they were wearing....The "nicknames" on their jersey!!For example ,Lee is Binga, Symonds is "maa[n]ki" aah kidding sorry he is "roy" ,Brad Hodge is Dodgeball and there was someone called Catfish too. While these Cricketers go all nick names...I wonder isn't it time the Tennis players had a nick name too??
My friend Kaushik is a big fan of tennis and his nick name is sunny- short and sweet
but what about the players ....the ZTennis Dplayers!!??
Russia lost the supremacy to USA but in tennis it prevails as was evident in the The Australian Open!!!
You have Novok Djokovic who won the Australian Open, beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the finals. Before the match started, there were animated discussions between the two, with the former wanting to know if the ‘t’ was silent in the latter’s surname and the latter commenting on the utter stupidity of the former adding a ‘d’ to his surname. Finally Djokovic prevailed as his name conveyed a sense of raw power, that Tsongo’s name lacked. I somehow felt Tsorry for Tsongo, as he was simply out-named.

The women’s tennis circuit has some pretty formidable line-up as well.
I remember that once upon a time there was just Navratilova and her eight sisters, Ek-ratilova, Do-ratilova, Teen-ratilova, Char-ratilova.....etc .Then along came Anna Kournikova brother of Tangi Kournikova[aah nevermind the gender now]. But, now you have Anastiya Miskina, Yelena Dementyava, Vera Zvonaryova ,Svetlana Kuznetsova, Lina Krasnorutskaya and Myasthenia Gravis. What chance does someone with a tame and docile name like Sania Mirza have, unless she changes it to Sanialana Mirzavonsky through a gazette notification and produces copy certified by a notary public and never mind if she is pulled down by some Fatwa!!


Nick names are way better...and so is Cricket!!!

P.S: Share your nick names dear readers and well mine is *censored*!!!
