Chathu's Classroom - Things I'd rather do

Things I would rather do than watch Farveez Maharoof bowl:

• Tackle Akuila Uate. Just ask Benji Marshall.
• Watch Craig McLachlan perform stand-up.
• Stand under a window at Lord's.
• Be an NFL fan in 2011. Oh wait...damnit.
• Ice-skate near Aaron Rome.
• Step into the Octagon with Cain Velasquez.
• Be US Congressman Anthony Weiner right now.
• Goaltend for the Vancouver Canucks.
• Defend Dirk Nowitzki.
• Make out with Snooki.
• Go on a date with Francesca Schiavone.
• Watch this season of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
• Visit Kim Duthie in a hotel room.
• Go on a bender like Stu in The Hangover II.

Hashan Tillakaratne should do Sri Lankan fans and the whole cricketing world a favour and blame him for match fixing.

Or they could just not pick him. Either way works for me.
