The Funeral Pyre Is Out
January 28, 2012 by 4 Comments
DAY 5 ADELAIDE For cricket lovers the death of Indian cricket at Test level has been lingering. The final rites were given today. For twenty days the pyre has been slowly simmering fuelled by everyone. The ancient wood has slowly simmered away. But will their ashes be thrown out when the clean-up commences? The [Read more]

January 27, 2012 by 4 Comments
Forgive me if I think this is Groundhog Day. The crowd today look like the leftovers from yesterday. There is a distinctive sign that says “hangover” amongst most of them. It was a big day on Australia Day and I don’t think many of them would remember what happened yesterday.

Meet me at the Lehmann statue
January 25, 2012 by 3 Comments
by Bob Utber DAY 2 IN ADELAIDE “Meet you at the Lehmann statue” is the new catch phrase at the Adelaide Oval. Coined by that wonderfully insightful Sri Lankan journalist (whose name I forget at the moment) but goes under the nom de plume of PJ.Flynn in Australia.

ADELAIDE DAY 1 by Bob Utber Walking through the park to the ground this morning and you realise what a picturesque site it is. Let us hope the new edifice does not distract. Memories flood back of many great games here at this ground. The fans were out in force today and I don’t [Read more]
