MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh skip Padma Awards Function

Breaking News! In a shocking development, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and ace spinner Harbhjan Singh skipped the Padma Awards function at the Rashtrapati Bhavan yesterday. Dhoni and Harbhajan were supposed to receive the Padma Shri awards. According to reports in a section of media, they were busy in shooting Ads. Veteran sportspersons like Aslam Sher Khan has criticised Dhoni and Harbhajan for "disregarding" the dignity of Padma Awards.


The first batch of awardees were presented with the Padma Awards on March 31. The final batch of awardees included MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh. They neither turned up for the event nor informed anyone about their unavailability.

It is not immediately known why they preferred to skip the Padma Awards, which is being given by none other than the President of India at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. They haven't yet issued any statement to explain the absence.

ICC betraying cricket to protect India's interest: Hadlee

http://cricket.rediff.com/report/200...dia-hadlee.htm

"We are in grave danger of having the decision makers betraying the game of cricket," said Hadlee during a nationwide tour to promote his latest book 'Changing Pace' which summarises his last nine years of cricket research, thought and experience.

"We all know now that Asia, and more particularly India, have a more powerful say (at ICC level) because they generate that much more a higher percentage of revenue, which other countries benefit from.

"So, who protects the game? The decision makers on the ICC have to try and control it so that all the games can co-exist and live together," he was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun.

If one format of the game like Twenty20 consumes the game as much as it is doing now -- and potentially in the future -- it is destroying the game of cricket as a total concept."

What an interview!

I got him [Border] out ... I was walking to the changeroom at lunchtime and I saw this security bloke walking past with a gatt (pistol). I asked him for it and he said, 'What do you want to do with it?' I said, 'I want to shoot an Aussie.'"

Assuring the astounded guard that he wasn't seriously contemplating shooting anybody, he persuaded him to take out the bullets and give him the weapon.

McMillan then walked into the Australian dressing room, waving it around. The sight of the armed McMillan caused the startled Australians to scarper.

I'd have loved to see the Aussies' face captured on camera!
