The art of irritating your opposition


IrritateMeSaysShe.jpgTie those shoes that bit longer, let your opponent come n wait for toss first and then wait some more..

The Idea is ~ to frustrate the man in against, to a point that his concentration turns to irritation. He might know you very well off the pitch, but if onfield funny faces, tricky signals or something else can force him think other than the game in hand - that's advantage YOU.

First example comes to mind, is Rafael Nadal. Though he has started to hurry up lately - pulling his underwear, fixing shocks & coming last for toss continues. John Mcenroe was another character, whereas listening to Shane Warne as he bowled was tremendous pleasure. "ball goes spinning past batsman's bat", to which Warny will say - Kookaburra mate. normal size!! even Glenn McGrath used this idea several times (specially against top batsman like Tendulkar & Lara) - asking them to cut the ball or irking in some other way.

Another VERY important point to note before doing these silly things, is not to get yourself involved in it. you do it, and then focus is back to the basics.. that's another aspect of this idea of irritating.

Caution : the World is watching. Any famous sport today is televised all around the globe, and we consumers understand most of them. one bad reaction & you'll be the culprit of even bigger media time-pass, at least for next 24 hours.

You are best advised to crack stinky jokes to your opponents as the match is on - when it comes naturally to you. Those born with this power, already know it by now, if you have read n understood me this far. I call this as an art, because not everyone can take your calm away ~ and sleep with ease.

That my friend, is the complete art of irritating your opposition.
