random samplings of a restless mind scanning life's canopy
In a vital game of cricket, that is... not a sport anywhere near the heart of mainstream America, but one where, nevertheless, the US team should be expected to do better given the number of cricketing immigrants in this country. But they were up against an inspired Afghanistan team - and I wonder if the real conflict both countries are engaged in provided some needle to the contest - who beat them comfortably to get closer to reaching a World Cup next year! Go Afghanistan!
And the Americans must love this quote from the main Afghan bowler:
Hamid Hassan: 'I think that there is a similarity in the story of Rocky and the Afghanistan cricket team - we both started at the bottom and gradually made our way up the rankings'
Gotta love that!
