Please can we talk about the time Rohit Sharma ate 25 fried eggs in one go?

1. Eating what you want after you have exercised (or been for a run or whatever) is an excellent approach. It’s basically the only reason I run.
   “Should I get chips with that? Yes, I should. I’ve run 10 miles today, so I’m still ahead on calories”

   Though Rohit Sharma probably doesn’t bother about calories.

2. Depending on the consistency of the yolks he was either happy with the runs he got or completely egg-bound.

3. No further details, you say?

   If ever there were a cause for you to utilise your extensive network of cricketing, journalistic, and cricketing-journalistic, contacts, this would appear to be it.

   1. We decided that the mystery was best left unsolved.

      1. Fair enough – this networking stuff is hard work. I have to go to a Brexit networking event tomorrow. Because they’ve scheduled it for late on a Friday afternoon, what was meant to be a star-studded event chock full of influential big swinging dicks has turned into an all-out begging exercise to the hoi-polloi to please, please come and spare the indignity of empty seats in the shiny new auditorium. There will be beer, pizza and wine, we are told. I suppose you have to make the best of the situation and use it as a springboard to a Big Night Out (no dancing rules apply) and corral some of the least detestable types into joining you.

4. How To Hit A Six – the Sequel

   1. The value of a run 2 – Electric Boogaloo

      1. The value of a(n all-)run 4 will be a classic.

5. We have KP in our local broadcaster’s studio, and while he does have a few insights into the modern game… What a prick! An immature, snide, prickly little prick.

   1. I can picture Strauss and Cook giving him a steely glare at least thrice a day, while KP laughed his head off like a manic child just after having said something sly & nasty. Opinion changed – 8 years of tolerating this guy in their team was a masterclass in man-management.

      1. Yeah? We kind of want to see.

      2. Haha, it’s thrill-a-minute not knowing how awful the next cycle of disbelief-awkward silence-forced laughs-disdain is going to be. KP seems to revel in creating these situations, finds a lot of joy in them.

6. Loved this article, the reference to Cricinfo not pursuing the matter further clearly draws the line between the brilliant journalism (KC) and the medi(y)ocre (every other website.
   On a serious note though, every egg Rohit eats is a step closer to being run out in the final for a duck. (I will stop now).

   1. Cheers!

8. As those of us of a certain nationality and vintage will remember, neither Ian Botham nor Geoff Boycott could eat three Shredded Wheats.

9. For example.

   It seems I might have made it up about Boycott, as YouTube, the infallible archive of late 20th century doesn’t seem to having, but I really don’t think so, I’m sure I remember that lopsided leer over an uneaten breakfast loofah.

   1. Beefy wasn’t all that really, was he?

10. Which species of bird laid the eggs?

    25 chickens’ eggs would be a seriously hefty meal, granted.

    25 quails eggs? That is quite a large portion, but not so very extraordinary.
