Dude, check this out. Gary Kirsten recommending Indian players to have sex before their match to improve performance.

I don’t think he quite gets it.
Some great investigative journalism, I must add. Now this also opens up endless possibilities of analyzing the performance of Indian players.
We’ll know exactly when Yuvraj has broken up with his latest girlfriend, when our cricketers are going through a rough patch in their marriage or if the marriage is strong, when to expect a little cricketer.
Seeing the scores, we’ll also be able to tell how much each cricketer scored.
Indian cricketers on tour can expect calls from furious wives/girlfriends, “Main yahan hoon phir tumne century kaise score kiya ?? Zara wapas aao tumhe dikhati hoon”.
If only article 377 weren’t illegal, we could expect criminal cases against Rahul Dravid and V.V.S. Laxman for the 376-run partnership.
Domestic and other sports can expect to be pushed down further by cricket now. You’re an adolescent sportsman, which team would you want to join ? The hockey team that doesn’t qualify for the Olympics, or Kirsten’s Night Riders ?
Expect PILs of the order of, “The Indian team is playing too well, and this is creating a bad influence on our youngsters”.
Okay I need to stop. But mark my words, this sure is going to be a game changer.
Update : Another friend Onkar, who understandably doesn’t want to be named, adds in a chat conversation :
i remember discussing this with someone
tendulkar’s daughter was born in october 1997 i think, so it would mean conception took place in feb 1997
he was touring WI back then
i think WAGs weren’t allowed then, they started allowing them later i think
He also pasted these 2 links for the more inquisitive among you :

Note to Sachin: I am being quoted out of context here (damn media). This was 1997 and the conversation was more out of doubts over my knowledge, rather than to appear inquisitive of someone’s personal matters
