  • "The fact is that once I was playing again I was automatically available for everything on the schedule and that meant Stanford. I make no apologies for that and, as for the suggestion that I should waive the fee or give it to charity, I don't see why I should be a special case."

    Cricket in New York

    By Will last year, mid-January, 7 Comments »

    India and Australia are planning a one-day series to be played in New York. More at Cricinfo.

    News.com reported that Cricket Australia operations manager Michael Brown confirmed last night that Australia had been approached by India for the series, though the details remained to be worked out. “You never say never but details at this stage are sketchy,” Brown said.

    Two possible stumbling blocks in the negotiations could be Australia’s tour programme and wrangling over the percentage of revenues to be shared between the rival boards, with Australia reportedly demanding an equal share and the Indians demurring.

    What would New Yorkers make of it, I wonder?

    No, it's not a typo. Mello is the World Cup mascot and Ryan has a few photos of him (it?) in New York seeing the sights.

    Where shall I go on holiday?

    NB: nothing to do with cricket…

    I’ve got a couple of weeks off in October so I need to start planning for a holiday. Where should I go? Italy is high up on the list, as usual, but so is New York (Ryan, reply to your emails dammit), Antigua, Scotland and others. Tight budget, not into five-star hotels - although, of course, if you happen to be working at British Airways or another airline and wish to bump me up to First Class, do get in touch. Suggestions, please! (maybe I’ll run a poll…or not)

    Bloke watching cricket in a cafe

    September 2005, Ashes Test England v Australia. A few brave souls in NYC watch the match start at 5.30 a.m. From Flickr user David Reeves. Talking of such matters, who (apart from me) will be up at 4am GMT (or wherever in the world you live) for Saturday’s first Test?
