Here is mock of Ravi Shastri interview Twenty-20 - World Cup Final interview between Ravi Shastri and winning captain Dhoni :)

Shastri, “Who was the main reason for this thrilling victory?”
Dhoni, “All us played well but I would say the main reason and man behind this great victory is Ajit Agarkar”

Shocked Shastri, “Agarkar? How come Agarkar… he didn’t played in the final”..
Dhoni, “Yeaph.. that’s the reason we won this low scoring match.. if he could have bowled in final, Pakistan would have scored the winning runs from his 4 overs….”

Shastri, “ok.. fine, To whom you want to thank for winning this final…”
Dhoni, “The team doctor deserves the credit… he really helped us to prepare for the final…”
Shastri, “Is it? ?…. how the doctor helped to prepare for the final…he is not the coach or physical trainer…Dhoni.. I am getting confusion”
Dhoni, “Ravi… nothing to confuse… he has failed Sehwag in the fitness test according to our game plan and we managed to pick a good playing team.. thus we weigh the doctor’s contribution as very high…infact its better than our team effort in the field.. our game tactic worked well”

Shastri, “To whom you want to dedicate this World Cup?”
Dhoni, “The entire team including myself wants to dedicate this cup to Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly…”
Shastri, “I really really appreciate you… its good that you have so much respect to the seniors….and you ….”
Dhoni interrupts….
“Ravi.. let me complete… India would have exited in the Group matches if they decided to play in the series… thank god they opted out and we managed to play cricket and won the cup..”

Shastri, “The match was thrilling encounter and was concluded by a single mistake of Misbah.. Isn’t it? ”
Dhoni, “Yes you are right, after lofting the ball Misbah told me that he has sent the ball to where there was no one….but he didn’t know that there is a malayali in every corner of the world…. This single mistake has coasted the game and won the cup…”
Shastri faints and Dhoni receives the CUP and that’s the end of the great Twenty-20 world cup…

Your mobile phone can actually be a lifesaver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: -

1. EMERGENCY
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2. Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button.
Your car will unlock. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

THE COOL HEADED DHONI ALL THROUGH THE T20 SERIES ENCOURAGING YOUNG BLOOD WILL BE A THREAT TO AUSTRALIA AND PAKISTAN IN THE COMING SERIES!

The aggressive Pakistanis have themselves to blame as they did not adapt like Gambhir, Yuvraj Dhoni or Shewag when similar bowls were faced by them. Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal taken by surprise! And Imran Nazir’s run out proved a major turning point.

But the Misqued shot from Misbah is the real reason for India’s win. Pakistan really desreve all the credits for a moral victory.
