Battered and bruised in the Lord Test, Australia is still licking its wounds. While the tongue is busy lapping over its injuries caused by England, the eyes and ears are working as a radar to catch any (however trivial it may sound) news that can help them to save their skins. According to highly dis-placed sources, Australian players have taken it as a mission to teach the Englishmen a lesson and are employing some logic-defying and head-spinning ploys. Here are few of them:
1. Squirming from the wrath and curse of his mother, Mitch-es has decided to get over the glitches by brokering a cordial relation between his karateka girl-friend and his melodramatic mother and has contacted the king-of-melodrama Karan Johar, who has advised Mitch-es a twin dose: Watch K-3-G in the morning and K-A-N-K in the night and if that doesn't cure the sore, watch Sooraj R. Barjatya's H-S-S-H.
2. To get over the nightmare of Lords and seek divine intervention, skipper Ricky Ponting has rushed to the ghats of Vanarasi in the disguise of sadhus and stared awe-struck at the God's eye and sources say he also clicked a photo which he plans to keep in his left pocket like former skipper Steve Waugh during the rest of the Ashes series.
3. With arch-rivals Australia and New Zealand coming closer , a divine-struck Punter is convinced it is yet another call of the Almighty and so he has asked Cricket Australia to approach New Zealand Cricket Board to sent born-again Shane Bond to Edgbaston in place of a injury-struck Bret Lee.
4. Shane Watson's divine truth about Australia has set the players in a soul-searching mode and Punter has decided to leave all practice session in the backburner and look for some innovation in sledging and coach and players are idea-ting all day long to come up with some camouflaged version of sledging.
