OT, Cricket and Football(real).
Ike, civilization is spreading, we are getting the World Cup on cable in the US. Not quite the same as being at Lords in June. One of my greatest memories is watching the West Indies pummel England there. Those were the days of Gary Sobers, Rohan Kanhai, Clive Lloyd, Alvin Kallicharan, John Snow, Geoff Boycott. I remember Sunil Gavaskar shots through the covers from Snow and Asif Iqbal from the Pakistan team from the same era. Actually the first time I saw you post, I thought of Asif.
I took the day off yesterday to watch the greatest team in any sport on any planet, Manchester United ( I may be slightly biased) win the European Cup from a restaurant on Union street in San Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of equally rabid fans with red shirts in what is normally a sedate place. It is getting to be a very very small world. Oh yes, great posts yesterday, catching up with today's with a slight headache <g> |
