The cricket world will be stunned this morning when it learns that former Australian PM and cricket tragic , John Howard , will coach the Pakistan cricket team . Howard impressed the Pakistanis during a visit to that country when he was PM and bowled several overs which no batsman was able to hit . On that occasion his balls performed a weird trajectory said to be a cross between a googly and Kermit the frog with a bad dose of Delhi belly.
The Pakistani batsmen were mesmerised by the PM’s deliveries and went in awe of him. They said his wrist action was stranger than that of Muralithuran . Baffled sub continent cricket writers at the time declared him a demon bowler. In an exclusive interview with Little Darwin at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Mr Howard yesterday said he is not fazed by the fact that a former Pakistani coach was found dead in a hotel room in mysterious circumstances. “I have nothing to fear in Pakistan , ” said he. “Some of my closest Coalition friends in Australia want to garrotte me after the election debacle, so what have I got to lose in Pakistan ?”
FOOTNOTE : Alert watchers of the Channel 9 Australia v South Africa coverage will have noticed that the ex PM had very bushy eyebrows when he was interviewed by Tubby Taylor. Little Darwin can reveal this luxuriant growth is due to Shane Warne’s exclusive hair treatment . With the help of KFC secret herbs and spices, the eyebrows will rapidly grow into a thick mop of hair and he will arrive in Pakistan looking like a lost Beatle with one of Warnie’s spare studs in his ear.
