Sachin Tendulkar's Performance Appraisal

A howlarious e-mail sent by my friend, Luke de Noronha, immediately after Sachin scored his double ton had me in splits, and I just had to share it with all of you!

Thanks Luke, for letting me do so!

How would Management appraise Sachin Tendulkar's performance?

Sachin Tendulkar: 200 Runs, 147 Balls, 25x4, 3x6

Agree you have done well……BUT

25 x 4s = 100
3 x 6s = 18

It implies that you have done 118 runs in 28 balls

And
12 x 2s = 24
58 x 1s = 58

It means you have done all 200 runs in only 98 balls

So you have wasted 147-98 = 49 balls

Considering only 1 run scored on each of these balls you could have earned 49 valuable runs for our team

Manager’s Comment: You Met Expectations and NOT EXCEEDED (though anyone else of our team could not do it) and your Grade is C
