The Panache meme: Boys can't be boys

The World Cup starts this weekend, and the Indian board has advised players to keep the ladies at arm’s length during the tournament. Across the border, the Pakistan board has told its players to be responsible on social media. The development generated the following responses:

Team India

“Okay boss, but please at least let us go to our rooms.”



Sania Mirza

“The ban doesn’t affect Shoaib as he is not in the team. And people are saying he’s not in my team anymore either. I’m not saying it. Just gossip journalists.”

Shahid Afridi

“Guys, don’t put this on social media. Else I’m out and Imran Khan might be back. You know Khansaab has married and rediscovered his youth, don’t you?”



Virender Sehwag

“Indian cricketers? In Australia? Stay away from temptation? Good one.”



Ravi Shastri and Arshad Ayub

Ayub: “Ravi, what would you have done had these rules been in your time?” Shastri: “I would have still scooted out of the room like a tracer bullet.”



Amitabh Bachchan

“But what if women throw themselves at a player, like this green zoo zoo type being over here?”
