Recently, TV channel "Kal-Tak" telecasted an interview that Srinath did for them. He interviewed Greg Chappell. Text of that interview is put below.
Sri: Welcome, Chappell. Welcome to the program, "The Sriway", Greg.
GC: Thanks, mate. Looks like you are going the bollywood way, stealing ideas, eh?
Sri: He he he, we are like this only. So, let's kick the interview and start it. This is an amazing experience for me, interviewing the person I always respected so much.
GC: Thanks, mate. I always like you too. More so when you were playing against AUS. I always knew you would give good batting practice to our boys.
Sri: He he he... I always try my best. I always like to keep in a good relationship with everyone.
GC: Sorry? What relationship?
Sri: I mean, good relations. Who knows? AUS may invitation me to join their commentary team on Channell 9.
GC: WoooHooo, mate. That's a big dream you're dreaming.
Sri: So, tell our viewers about Chappell Way. What is it? What does it mean? What are it's unique characterisations?
GC: "Characterisatiosn"? Wonder what that mean. Anyway, Chappell Way is what the name suggests. It's my way of playing cricket. Simple as that.
Sri: Good, good. I like to keep things simple. I am a simple man. You know, simple living, high thinking. I think very high. Some time, while thinking I go on a hallucinisationistic tour. Anyway, It's good that Chappell Way is a simple thing to learn. Easy for us Indians.
GC: I guess, by "us Indians" you mean YOU. 'Cause the boys are pretty smart, from what I've seen.
Sri: Yes, so, how do you explain this new trendonistic wave that has hit the Indian team very hard? Why are we suddenly playing so well in ODIs? Damn, in my days, I used to die bowling and we would still lose.
GC: Ha ha ha. Trendonistic.... Mate, you funny. I guess by that you mean "trend". Well, it is the result of Chappell way. Earlier it was Gaekwad way or Kapil Way. Now, it is different, mate.
Sri: So you are saying that it is the newistic way of coaching that has made the difference?
GC: Ofcourse, what else?
Sri: Okay, so, how are you enjoying India?
GC: Very much, mate. I see all the gals giving me their attention. It's like I'm in a heaven. Plus, I'm taller than most guys out there; so that's a benefit too.
Sri: Yes, true. How do you like the wickets of India? These wickets misbehave all the time.
GC: Mate, what do you mean "misbehave"?
Sri: I mean, there is inconsistentisation in them. The play differently all the time.
GC: Yeah, so what? That's the beauty of playing in India.
Sri: Hhhmmm, okay. I was in expectation of a different answer from you. I never liked bowling in India.
GC: Maybe, because you couldn't swing the ball here?
Sri: Okay, so, what about Varinder Sehwag? He is out of forum for a long time. What are you doing for his Rehabilitisation?
GC: That's Rehabilitation. We asked him to take a break. He did and came up with a good score in his last match.
Sri: And Kaif? He has been in a horribilistic forum for too long. Why are you giving him such a extendedised run?
GC: Well, we think he is as assett to the team.
Si: Damn the selectors. They were never had so much consideratisation for player when I played.
GC: Tough luck, mate. And what's up with all these wiered words, mate? Where do you read them?
Sri: Oh, I have a habbit of reading The Inzy English Dictionary. Inzy gave it to me as a present, to decipher his language.
GC: That figures.
Sri: About the World Cup. What are your plans? What Stratagisations have you done or are doing?
GC: Shut up, mate. I'm not gonna tell you anything now? What the hell?
Sri: Okay, okay. No need to get angerised. I don't want to make any enemies, you know? What if they give me an enema?
GC: Good for you.
Sri: What about future. Have you made any futuristic plans? Like what after the World Cup?
GC: don't know mate. Maybe I will keep you as Entertainment Director of Chappell Way. I'm sure I will get more business.
Sri: See!! That's what I'm talking about. Simple man, simple living, high thinking. Always pays out. You just offered me a job.
GC: Oooofff. It's "pays off". And I was joking.
Sri: What?? You are thinking that I'm a joker? You just assassinationised my character. How dare you?
GC: Hey, calm down, mate. I told you.... I was joking!!! You got the job.
Sri: Oh... Thank you, Greg. I assurise you that I will work hard. I know it is hard work and I hardly work but for you I will work hard. I know it is hard for me to work but I will trial my harddened for you.
GC: Yeah, okay, whatever, mate.....
Sri: Thanks Greg. And with this we end "The Sriway". See you next times, same days, same times, same channell.
