A distillation of assorted rantings on matters political, environmental, historical, sporting and cultural. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Professional game, unprofessional behaviour. The net result of this is that ICC incompetence has fuelled Indian hysteria at perceived injustice and caused the BCCI to throw its considerable financial weight around with various threats about cancelling the tour.

A distillation of assorted rantings on matters political, environmental, historical, sporting and cultural. Tuesday, September 9, 2008.
