Bush favours cricket over Bollywood
Bush favours cricket over Bollywood
25feb06
US President George W. Bush said this week "I'm a cricket match person", and he'll have a chance to show it at a cricket event during his brief upcoming trip to Pakistan.
Details were hard to come by, but White House aides said today that Bush was expected to mingle with cricket-playing children and meet of the sport's professional players during his stop in Pakistan.
It was unclear whether the US president, an avid baseball fan, would bat or bowl.
"It is planned as an opportunity for him to watch and learn a little bit about it. But, you know, who knows what he'll do?" White House national security adviser Stephen Hadley said.
"I have not asked him."
The president himself left no doubt that he'd rather play cricket than see a Bollywood movie, telling reporters on Thursday that given the choice: "I'm a cricket match person."

lmfao... if Bush decides to bat, I'd like to see Shoaib Akhtar bowl his fastest delivery at Bush's little "precious"... if he bowls, I hope batsman will hit the ball really hard back at the direction of his head.
minimum damage expected: bleed to death.

Bush : he he, howdy partner could ya show how ya swing the stick around, it seems heavier than baseball he he.
Inzy : Sure no prob Mr. Pezkydent.
Few Minutes later ...
Musharraf : You bloody Inzi what have you done, look my boss is lying dead on the floor I am finished now dick cheney would attack us ...
Inzy : But he told me to show how to swing so I went back and told him to bowl, but he came so delivered the ball from a position so close to my bat that his had to go with the delivery. Perhaps he did not want to miss the stumps.

Bush: Good game Inzy. You didn't obstruct a fielder this time.
Inzy: First of all thanks to God. All the credits goes to the boys, specially Afridi. Without his helps it isn't possible. In the ends, Shoaib bowls good reverse swings. We wins the game.
Bush: What is reverse swing?
Inzy: Shoaib swings both ways.
Bush: I like the sound of that
Musharraf: Bush, there were many placards in the crowd asking you to get a hair cut. But if you want my advice, I think you look hot the way it is.
Bush: I can say the same about Shoaib.
*Musharraf curtsies*
*Bush Giggles*
Inzy:
Bush & Musharraf: Security!
Ramiz Raja: Ladies & Gentlemen, that concludes the presentation ceremony as the two heads of state.....
Unfortunately, Ramiz did not get to finish his sentence. After an extensive investigation, it turns out Bill O'Reilly was responsible for cutting off Ramiz's mic. Surprisingly, soon after this event, the city of San Francisco reported major traffic disorder, comparably only to that of Gulistan. Fox News reporters blamed it on a certain community. Although the Big Brother Act forbids the disclosure of actual reasons, CNN's Wolf Blitzer claims the words "Bush" and "Closet" were heard repeatedly amidst massive jubilation.

I felt sorry for Inzi, deep inside he hates bush but he had to act all cool with him. i think he took his frustration out wih his bowling.
