Mahela on Facebook

I friend-ed Sri Lanka's captain, Mahela Jayawardena, on facebook a few days, just like that (actually, so that I look cool having such a famous cricketer on my friends list).

Man, that guy is one of those crazy facebook people. He's perpetually posting messages and status updates and videos and becoming a fan of this or the other. My news feed is now choked with the things Mahela does and the responses of others to his musings. He's been pimping some products he endorses and has posted a whole bunch of videos of the adverts. Amazingly, he has not let the ongoing test match (oh, and in which he scored 240, by the way) with Pakistan interfere with this at all. Score a double century, come back and post inanities - all in a day's work for Mahela.

He has someone called Rai Aishwarya on his friends list. I wondered - could it be? I mean, he's such a famous guy after all. Anyway, it turned out Rai Aishwarya has 12 friends, all Sri Lankan-sounding. So, it's possible it's not her, then.

  1. Younis Khan 306 not out. I remember reading in one of the many match reports after Day 2 that Pakistan will be looking up to their captain Younis Khan to help them avoid the follow-on. This was when he had just arrived at the crease at the fall of the first wicket.

    I said to myself, somehow I think Younis Khan will definitely save them this match - it is a crappy Pakistan pitch as well. Well done.

  2. Yea, but some triples are more equal than others - this is not one of them, due to the pitch. still, he can only pay on what he's given, so yea, well done.
