Autobiography and Absolut don't work well together, do they ?
it so happens sometimes that when we stop playing the game,"metabolism rate" slows up a bit and effects of alcohol takes that much time to wane off.further if u'r writing an autobiography, things become even worse or in this case if u end up submitting an insight of that stuff to media(while drunk),it ends up being a complete disaster.
in case u didn't get it im obviously talking about gilchrist's (i no longer want to call him gilly)remarks on sachin.
let's assume for a moment that he is in fact telling the truth about what happened in middle at SCG,why is he coming out with all this stuff almost after an entire year.wasn't it a responsibility of his to stand by his mate(symo) when everybody were terming symo's comments as hogwash?
just to divert from the point i would like to say that racial or ethnic abuses have to be looked at, taking into account the background of the accused.first why would an indian rural call someone a monkey (and that also in English).he would rather refer to him as buffalo specific organs. (bhains ki aankh types).besides this, in India monkey isn't an abuse.i often refer to ma bro (younger) bro as a bandar who cant stay rooted to 1 place for long.
now back to SCG, on comments that sachin is a bad sport.let me see which was the team who were celebrating like crazy after winning the test and not showing any sort of sportsman spirit or respect by shaking hands or any other gesture, not even with the captain, who played a fighting knock on the other end.infact i don't remember any handshakes at all on the field from the aussies.besides that it sometimes can be hard to find someone specific in dressing room at some point of time.(may be he could have been off for bowel movements).it doesn't hurt any one just to wait a little unless someone is so guilty that he doesn't want to stay put at the opposition's dressing room.
only some days back this chap said at ICC award ceremony that sachin is still the best due to his consistency and humility.the very next thing he does is to create a controversy like this.i would urge Mr. Adam Gilchrist (for whom i have the greatest of respect but only as a player now) to take a definite stand on things in life.
what wrong has sachin done if he says that he didn't hear what was being said in the middle properly and then backs his player by accepting his version on the issue.probably gilchrist can't trust his mates but this guy can.i can hear and accept people saying all kinds of stuff about who is the greatest of em all but i would never ever doubt integrity of this man as a representative of cricket at large as well as India.This is a sad day for world cricket as a player of gilchrist's stature has stooped so low to get cheap publicity for selling a book.
And guys,please stop all the retirement talk.i think it should be left to players on when they want to retire and their decision should be respected.these people have played the game long enough to know when to call it quits.one point i'd like to make here is that who said that its good to retire when people are saying why then why not?its an individual's choice.some just have enough of the game and others need to be told by the game itself that its time.this is not a law of nature which holds true for everyone.
THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN LIGHT VEIN SO KINDLY VIEW IT IN THE SAME.NO DISRESPECTS TO ANYONE.
UDAYAN.

Hope to see more blogs from you
I think what gilchrist remarked is utter nonsense..besides lot of ppl think that gilly is a true sportsman and was highlighted by the fact that he "walked" in the semi-final of WC 2003...while gilly himself said that he did not even look at the umpire because he thought that it was a clear out.. he never realized that umpire had not given him out.. so it was not really a case of "walking" in true sense..
i love the title
Now Hayden has taken his share of Absolut
