Jesus was a cricketer and Hindu XI
amit.karan...@gmail.com
Since I lack any significant knowledge of Christianity, a team
comprising of biblical characters would be appreciated. Somebody
please make a team out of the 12 apostles ...
Here's my own contribution, comprising characters from the religion I
was born into. Additions welcome.
Coach: Sri Krishna. His treatise on duty and captaincy, called the
"Bhagvad Gita" is well known and is required reading for any coach or
captain. He has been credited with improving the mental strength of
the opening bowler Arjuna.
1) Shankar, aka Shiva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva) He is an
aggressive opening batsman, known as "The Destroyer". Bowlers take
cover when he opens his third-eye.
2) Brahma, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma, is the creator of many
opening partnerships. He is the most underrated of the trinity of
Brahma, Shankar and Vishnu.
3) Vishnu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu, is the preserver and
therefore serves ad a valuable number 3. There is some controversy as
to whether a number 3 batsman can also be a coach, but, it is decided
that since he is a God he can be at 2 places at the same time.
4) Ganesha, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganpati, in the middle order
provides knowledge and experience. Since he is not very athletic, he
prefers to stand at first slip.
5) Lakshmana, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmana, An elegant left
hander in the middle order, he provides critical support to (6), Lord
Rama. Their partnerships in critical tours of Sri Lanka are well
known. He also serves as wicket keeper.
6) Rama, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama, The Perfect Batsman, at
number 6. Due to controversies about his married life, he decided to
resign the captaincy and hand it over to (7).
7) Yushisthir (Captain), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yudhishtir,
provides true leadership. His unflinching devotion to the "Laws of
Cricket", (well, most of the time), is a courageous example for the
rest. He recently inherited the captaincy from Lord Rama (6)
8) Hanuman, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman), he is
exceptionally athletic, and known to stop sixers by flying and
catching the ball. Useful with the bat, the can be relied upon to bowl
gentle-off spin. He was offended when people in West Indies insisted
on calling him "Yo Maan", instead of Hanuman or Monkey Man, reducing
him down to the level of a mere mortal human. He complained to the
racism tribunal but because of the racists controlling cricket, it was
determined that he misheard "Hanuman" as "Yo Maan!".
9) Bhima, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima, this work horse of a man
can be relied upon to bowl medium pace all day. A man of a volatile
temper, he has been known to crank up his pace and send in a few
beamers to batsmen he does not like.
10) Karna, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karna, Second only to Arjuna
(11) in bowling prowess, he is an exceptional bowler. Some say, that
he is better than Arjuna, but unfortunately, he always seems to make a
mess of his bowling when he needs it the most. A master at running
away. and useful only on helpful tracks.
11) Arjuna, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna, bowls fiery darts,
which unerringly find the middle stump. Unfortunately, he is a bunny
with the bat.

i worked on a christian XI last night. here it is...
1) peter*, known in the bible and in his name as the rock. great to
take the shine off the ball.
2) matius, gilchrist like approach to every ball. able to hit a six an
over with reasonable ease.
3) john, best batsman in the side (or claims to be). created the
common belief that the number 3 batsman is the best batsman in the
squad.
4) philip, he tended to just get on with the job at hand. created
needed partnerships. particularly menacing on the field with sledging.
5) matthew, can keep run-rate going almost to the ball. this comes
from a great knowledge of numbers from his past tax collector
experience. also a handy containing bowler that bowls medium pace.
6) Simon (wicket keeper), on debut. the eager one who just wants to
get out there and bat. also tends to rally the troops when situations
look grim.
7) james I, batting all rounder. flays at every ball and has the
highest strike rate in the team. likes to get syuff done in a fast
manner so perfect for trying to finish off the innings.
8) thomas, very doubtful, is capable batsman but doubts himself so
wont put himself up the order. is also the teams spinner, bowls all
kinds of deliveries making other batsmen doubt what he bowls.
9) jude, 2nd bowler, very accurate, same delivery every time, very
clinical. the classic bowler. fast-medium. can stay in if needed but
dont rely on him for a nightwatchman.
10) james II, the number one bowler in the squad. always on the
captains tail to bowl because he believes he is the best one there.
11) bartholomew, emerging bowler, little is known about him but has an
extremely large amount of potential. selected on his pace bowling
rather than his lack of batting talent.
12th man) andrew, a very good batsman and fielder but a recent lack of
form has forced him out of the starting XI.
Judas was recently dropped for suspition of match fixing and a general
lack of respect to the coach (Jesus)

FBI PSYCHOPATH "bhandava" bragging:about their MULTIPLE IDENTITIES
on INTERNET.
[You would be surprised how much of usenet is affiliated with our
organisations. More than half the posts on RSC are between our
operatives across the globe. Our code and methods are of the highest
calibre. As we often say: "1000 software engineers working for 1000
years couldn't dent what we've implemented here". ]

FBI PSYCHOPATH "bhandava"s DEATH THREAT TO ME
[Find our cameras? Did your useless friend find our GPS tracker in your
car? LOL, our operatives were even in your Marietta apartment a couple
of years ago while you slept. Due to our methods, we can access your
current address when we please, no matter what useless precautions you
take. Haha, sometimes we leave little reminders of this ability and we
know you've noticed.
I told you before, you are insignificant until you truly act; when that
happens it will be noticed and swift removal will be dealt. You know who
I represent and that I've directed our 2nd tier operatives to tail you
for around 7 years now. This stops when I say it stops; you have no
recourse and no credibility with anyone.]
