what was said

listenin to: our way too early sunday talk show on rmr

i found this great wrap up of the wisden cricketers' almanack, chronicle of 2005. basically a look back at what various media wrote about cricket this year. take a look through-it is quite funny. some excerpts below:

The Asian Age July 4: A seed company near Hyderabad, India, is giving farmers a free cricket ball with every packet of processed maize seeds.

Times Of India July 20: India's top golfer Arjun Atwal complained of his country's indifference despite unprecedented success on the USPGA tour: "I have gone to every possible sponsor. But they say `You don't play cricket.'"

Evening Herald, Plymouth December 17: Plymouth CC are to stage their second Christmas fancy-dress Twenty20 competition between teams of Elves, Fairies and the reigning champions, Santas.

today i like: seeing and hearing hard work pay off
today i dislike: why am i up so early on a sunday!?!
