Slap in time great for Indian Cricket

Chandigarh- In a message to all dads on the occasion of the second T –Twenty world Cup, Yograj Singh, father of ace Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh has said that all children who are into sissy sports should be spanked.
He said this while addressing media persons at his petrol pump in sector 17, Chandigarh’s main shopping centre.”

You see slapping is directly proportionate to a great cricketing career said the former test cricketer who is rumoured to have fired six pistol shots in the air celebrating his son’s six sixes in one over in the last Twenty-Twenty World cup in South Africa.

“If I hadn’t slapped Yuvraj when he had come home with a gold medal in roller skating, India would not have had a Yuvi, he said explaining the positive sides of spanking the children at the opportune time.
“If slapped for a national cause, there is no harm done, he said rubbishing reporters who opined that each child had different talents and parents should motivate them as per their talent.
“So would you prefer Yuvraj Singh on skates or playing kho-kho,” he asked the reporters, irked by their baseless logic. I will advise Yuvraj to use the same tactics if he has a son when he gets married, said dad Yograj who is aiming at dynastic rule in cricket.

The press conference however hit a road-block when when Billu, Yuvraj’s roller skating coach turned up at the petrol pump and accused Yuvraj’s father from snatching away great roller- skating talent. Had it not been for Yograj, India would have been number one in roller-skating, he shouted
Raising anti-cricket slogans like ‘cricket Hai Hai’ and ‘T Twenty Hai Hai’, the Roller skating enthusiasts who accompanied the coach on their wheels, alleged that cricket was proving to be a threat to roller skating rinks. They said they were considering a skating outside 10 Downing Street during the course of the T Twenty to raise awareness for Roller Skating.

A chuddy-buddy of Yuvraj, who was with him when Yograj threatened to break his son’s legs if he ever skated again, remembered how his friend’s dad on his trip abroad would get Super Hero toys like Superman, Batman and Spiderman, to motivate his son for a super career in cricket.
He always associated Super Hero toys characters with fours and sixes,' said the chuddy-buddy who did not want to be named for fear of being slapped.

Sources said that the key to Yuvi’s performance till date was fear as the sound of his dad’s slap still hounds him each time he goes in to bat.
