The Olympic Prophesies

IT IS A MIND GAME

Which layer do you play on
Give me any layer to play on
But give me also a mind to match

How many layers to base your thinking upon
Multi-layered thinkers, what are you thinking upon
Give us also many minds to match

Layer one - you are incompetent
Layer one interpretation - your batting stance is not copybook material
INTERUPTION ONE - THE BATSMAN HITS A SIX

Layer one (reprise) - you are incompetent
Layer one interpretation - you could have been caught out
INTERUPTION TWO - THE BATSMAN HITS A SIXER AGAIN

Layer one (re - reprise) - you are incompetent
Layer one interpretation - you really don't respect the coach's mind
INTERUPTION THREE - THE BATSMAN IS CLEAN BOLD

Layer one (re - re - reprise) - you are incompetent
Layer one interpretation - See I told you so many times, you must interpret the game correctly in your mind.
INTERUPTION FOUR - THIRD UMPIRE OVERRULES DECISION AS IT WAS A NO BALL

Layer one (rererere -reprise)- PLEASE BELIEVE ME, you are incompetent
Layer one interpretation - I think I just may lose face
INTERUPTION FIVE - RAIN HERE. THE MATCH IS CANCELLED

Layer two - God saved the day for us
Layer two interpretation - I am the coach but now I think I am incompetent

Layer three - Hello Sir Chairman, it was all under control, we'd have won. Bloody rain.
Layer three interpretation - I just forgot about God saving the day or else I wouldn't have lied. Sometimes, I don't like my incompetence

Layer four - Baby!!! Matted pitch every bowler can almost kill u. Don't read too much. For there are too many layers. By the way, cricket is not an Olympic Sport.

UNLAYERED PROPHECY: Wishful thinking: Will someone from the cricket elite win us an olympic medal, in any olympic event.... (till they make cricket an olympic event, this is my only hope for the boys... By the way I am thinking Yuvraj Singh. Why? Call it a foolish hunch, Sports fan's wish or something about his mental attitude. Too many layers to this prophecy)

Take it up for me, boys and girls
It really is a mind game
