Some mothers to have em!!


Our reporter Leggy Botham (a strange name you may say, but it was one of the reasons we hired him) took his reporting to behind the scenes of the KPL09, due to the lack of recent matches, some would even argue lack of excitement!

Today we are going to interview the ever enigmatic Mum Anjana CEO of the KPL franchise

"So how do you feel about the KPL tournament? Many would say there is no real excitement with such a one side series"

"In an tournament you are always going to have series like this one, and usually the team inflicting the damage is later called a great by the historians" Mum Anjana said while eating a samosa while the reporters stomach grumbled

"You hungry? What is your mummy doing you are as thin at a freshly fried poppadom!!" Mum Anjana.

Unfortunately the rest of our report is to follow... as our reporter is still eating...

Why some swear by KPL and some swear at it.


KPLinfo (the home of cricket): The intense schedule of 24 matches in 7 days has taken a toll on Knighton Oval skipper, Mitesh. He has ripped a lower back muscle while practising his doosra. He might be out of action for 14 days.

This leaves Andrew Macdonald to spearhead the attack.
Brian Close, Knighton Oval coach, said, " Andrew is neither a good enough bowler to open the bowling nor a batsman to bat at 6. This means we have got a long tail.This weakens us by 60%. We will have to work with what we have got ."

In contrast, Manish has taken the opportunity to play in the KPL to increase his fitness.
Greg Chapell, Wigston Wanderers coach, believed that he was showing good signs in a late bid to return to form .

He said, " He is beginning to turn the ball square. He has started to keep his head still at the crease like 2005."

Knighton Oval's "pup" whispers into married life.


MTV Celebrity news bulletin: The attendees of the annual club awards at the Knighton Oval were thrown out of their chairs.

DHJ, or commonly known as the " Knighton phantom," has announced that he is going to tie the knot with Eva Petrova, KO's truely KO cheerleader. They danced to "Bhoot ni ke " and chants of "Phantom" from the Knighton toon army.

The origin of his name is due to the fact that he would lock himself in the toilet until Wigston Wanderer's Shane Warne had finished his spell.

Mitesh was touched that his players were moving on.

"He will always be pup to me. He was the youngest member of the Ashes 1992 winning team. I can understand his decision to leave cricket and take up bricklaying. He was struck on his head by a beamer from Manish. Anyway , that is for the ICC to sort out. I wish him luck for the future," said Mitesh with a tear in his eye .

Manish also congratulated DHJ. He hoped that DHJ, who in his opinion, has been the worst advert for vegetarianism does not become the worst ad for married life.

Academy launch at the Wanderers.

Cricket AM: The Wigston Wanderers have recently taken the decision to bus the players around the KPL circuit.

The fabulous array of player's porsches, ferraris and ford escorts will be auctioned off. The money raised will be ploughed into the the launch of the WC Academy.

In a friendly match between the pros and academy players , there seemed to be a large number of "apologetic and hostile " beamers bowled at the young academy players by the first team.

It took a while for one of the academy players, under the constant barriage of bouncers, beamers and yorkers , Nikhil Arora, to summon the courage to sledge the main culprit, Steve Rudge, Ashes winner 2001. He said that he resembled a "fat bus conductor." Next ball, Arora was dismissed with his middle stump cartwheeeling away. Rudge, a man not known for his wit, replied, "tickets please."
