Deadlock-ed

A friend of mine sent me this classic example for explaining what a deadlock is-
Boss to secretary-"we'll go abroad for a week for a meeting,make arrangements".
Secretary calls her husband and says-"I and my boss are going for a meeting abroad for a week,you look after yourself".
Husband calls secret lover and says-"My wife's going abroad for a week,so let's spend the week together".
The secret lover calls the small boy for whom she takes tuition and says-"i have work for a week,so you need no come to class during this week".
Small boy to his dear grandpa-"grandpa,i do not have class this week because the teacher's busy,so let's spend the time together".

The grandpa(who's the boss)calls the secretary and says-"meeting is cancelled.I'm spending the week with my grandson".
The secretary calls her husband says-"trip cancelled.I'm coming back home".
The husband calls his secret lover and says-"you can't come home this week,my wife's trip is cancelled".
The secret lover calls the little boy and says-"this week you have your classes as usual".
The little boy calls his grandpa-"sorry grandpa,my teacher says this week i have to attend classes".
Grandpa(boss) calls his secretary an says-"Don't worry.arrange for the meeting this week,we'll go".

If someone had taught deadlock in this way in college,i guess i would even wake from an irreversible coma to explain it.
And some cricket-
It appears MCC has approved Pietersen's changing from right to left hand batting(without informing the bowler)at the time the ball is delivered as legal arguing that the bowler does not inform the batsman if he's going to bowl a slower ball or an off-cutter to the batsman.
Also now to the cricket news from the other part of the world,though the Aussies did manage to dismiss Chanderpaul(there was no doubt as to who would win the match),it seems they had been shaken by a resurgent West Indian team.The series might have been an indicator showing the decline of hegemony of the Aussies in cricket which coincides with the rise of West Indies,however little the rise might be.
