After all the security concerns surrounding President George W Bush's visit to Pakistan, he was first hit by a bouncer then fooled by a googly. But there was no call for worry, it all happened when Bush tried his hand at cricket - a hugely popular sport in parts of the old British Empire, and nowhere more so than in South Asia. Bush, an avid baseball fan, batted and bowled several times on a practice cricket pitch set up in the grounds of the US embassy in the capital of cricket-mad Pakistan. In December, 1959, Dwight Eisenhower attended the fourth day of the Test between Pakistan and Australia at Karachi during which the home side ground out 104 for the loss of five wickets. Only once have there been fewer runs in a completed day's play - three years earlier, when the same sides met on the same ground! cybermusings.blogspot.com
