Starting today Pakistani Cricket board bans butter from cricket team's breakfast and lunch menu, Now aloo paratha will be served with achaar or dahi instead………
Team management has taken this up after a severe bout of ButterFingeritis that ravaged the team last night… Pakistani team's official catching coach Mr K. Akmal commented "This is a welcome move, it will help the team recover from the previous losses, we are also looking at mitigating the real issue by forcing bowlers to go for manly dismissals like LBW and Clean bowled and not resort to sissy ways like taking catches."
But going by the recent reports this decision to ban butter has not gone down well with the team. The official butler to the Paki team Mr. A. L. O. DaParatha said that the team is protesting this decision. He said "I tell you sir the team is furious. Mr Akhtar threw his achaar on the youngsters in the team in anger. I tell you sir the achaar didn't even reach them, his pace has mellowed down. 4 years ago the achaar would have crushed toes of any player in the team. Kamran Akmal is the saddest guy in the team right now. He has started hiding small sachets of butter in his gloves to bring to team sessions. He was caught when a small sachet spilled out with a catch he dropped…"
Umer Gul when contacted had a simple explanation. "We bowlers have now devised a plan to sort this issue of dropping catches by targeting the bat of batsmen. We will bowl so that if the batsmen stands his ground without moving his bat an inch, the ball will hit the bat and be safely out of reach of the fielders thus reducing the need of misfielding". Brilliant Indeed…
