Twilight zone

2 weeks in New York can be a trying experience, but I've survived.

I watched the Mumbai-boys Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar play against Glenn McGrath and Mohammad Asif at an overcast Brit Oval in London, in a brief dream at dawn today. That I remember it probably means it wasn't a dream, but the contest sounds fantastic even in fantasy terms.

Mohammad Asif is perhaps the best swing bowler in the world at the moment. Michael Holding, who is commentating at the Oval in the current England-Pakistan test match, has been caught on the mic several times saying "class bowler" to Asif. That should be enough certification for a bowler, and that may explain his presence in my dozy dream.
