If last week ended with me rolling on the floor, the start of this week has left me in splits. The news that Harbhajan Singh has stated that he will slap any bookie who approaches him had me laughing so much, my grandma thought that I had fits.
Before anyone jumps on me for calling him a ‘chucker’, a far more knowledgeable cricketer, Bishen Singh Bedi is on record calling Harbhajan a chucker.
When such is the case, why would a bookie looking to ‘fix’ approach a chucker? Harbhajan, as it is, can be called for a No ball for chucking at any time, which introduces an unpredictability in his bowling. And bookies *want* to eliminate *unpredictability*, for their own ends, don’t they?
Hence, bookies not approaching Harbhajan is entirely predictable – if I was a betting man, I would bet my entire savings in Harbhajan not being approached by a bookie.
Oops! my mischievous half mumbles, think it through -
Harbhajan says he will slap any bookie who approaches him
8-0
Harbhajan had slapped a fellow cricketer Sreesanth
:-S
So, is there something else Bhajji wants to tell us?
