it doesn't have anything to do with Africa or wildlife, actually it probably attracts a lot of wild life. Saw it on the Europe forum.

One of those quaintly English pursuits.. Ashton is perhaps 25 miles from where I live.

Amol,

Did you watch the T20 finals at home or in the bush on safari?

Btw, wasted my entire sunday (so did my friends) watching us lose to the aussies ..... Ganguly should retire!!!

Hitting the pub before the competition might be a good strategy too.

Hari - Dont follow cricket avidly any longer. And T20 isnt even a sport... or call me an old fogey..

Lynn - You're spot on about the pub. The sport is only an excuse. But hey, there's nothing like a good pint of bitter in a nice pub.

Hari - I suspect you're right. Just a hard fact to swallow. I cant see myself ever taking any time out to follow a T20 game.

Amol,

I thought the same way, until that particular week where we beat Eng,SA,Aus and Pak in the space of 6 days ..... and they were all good games, not because of the 6 hitting .... but, because there was a lot of "Good/Normal/Strategic" cricket .....

Cheers,
Hari
