Steyn speaks the truth, but admits he is an idiot

Which is as it should be. 

Having his commitment questioned for labeling IPL a paid holiday, Steyn realises quickly that he is foolhardy to prick the revolution (IPL) taking place in cricket. 

As George Orwell said, " Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act" and as his back-tracking suggests Steyn is no revolutionary. 

However, Steyn spoke the truth. IPL is a paid holiday for a cricketer like Steyn, who is in prime form and a pension fund for spent forces like Pollack. 

Isn't that the truth?

It would be advisable for players playing for the ipl to keep a tight upper and lower lip and just enjoy the benefits of playing ipl. BTW Steyn merely stated what many would have felt abt ipl..

Finally one truthful answer to the question how was the IPL.

And to follow that up with another honest one - "I am an idiot...".

RS,

He spoled it by calling himself an idiot.

R,

Some truth should not be spoken as it is obvious.

South Africa Daily Times, circa 2060s

We regret to announce the demise of Mr. Dale Steyn, cricketer, at his home yesterday. Mr. Steyn was one of the last of the South Africans to play a form of cricket called 'Tests' and was one of the early pioneers who revolutionized cricket to be the game as we know it.

Unfortunately Mr. Steyn did not get enough opportunities to display his talent. It is believed that after his comment in 2008 about the Indian Premier League (known today as the World Series), he was denied the chance to represent South Africa in any form of cricket. In October 2008, he retired to set up an alfa-alfa farm in Bloemfontein, where he was often heard saying "I am an idiot".

His widow requests contributions from readers for a decent funeral. Please donate liberally.
