Conversation with Fake Indian Player (from Pitch Invasion)

A couple of days ago, Anupam Mukherji (formerly known as Fake Indian Player) of Pitch Invasion called me up and we chatted for a bit about all things cricket. The conversation is up at The Pitch Invasion - please check it out.

Why I love my American friends

While discussing (over email) soccer's possible growth in India (and chatting about a wonderful documentary on the New York Cosmos, Once in a Lifetime), my good friend Tom Connell wrote to me:

I think I heard that India really took it on the chin in a recent test against England, although perhaps they came back since there was more to be played. Probably just a lull after their World Cup triumph. I'm sure they want to give the rest of the world the illusion that they can catch up!
