Well, it’s likely he was too busy dealing with what he’s been feeding his mind to deal with what he’s feeding his body.

I guess it’s all up to God himself now.

“You come and say ‘this is Napier’, and it believes it’s Napier.”

Until Mahendra, Napier had always doubted itself. Luckily for Napier, the Shaman came a-touring. As he set his perfectly manicured foot within the city limits, and as his Imperial head scanned the horizon, and as he nodded slowly with satisfaction, he proclaimed the now-famous words: “this is Napier”.

Now the city knows and believes who it is. If you visit , and if you know how to listen to the streets and edifices, you will hear them peacefully seem to say: “I… Am Napier.”

I think he’s just become confused with his choice of words. It makes a lot more sense if you replace “mind” with “stomach”.

I suspect Dhoni has been licking the fungal growth on the Napier pitch. The MS now stands for Muh Shrooooom. And he hasn’t pulled a muscle, he’s tripping off his tiny mind.

There’s not much point in being thiere mentally if the rest of him isn’t.

Well it hasn’t worked.

He’s pulled some muscle or something and is out of the test at the last minute.

Is Dhoni channelling the mind of St Hayden?
