Addendum to a previous post: After all, it is the thought that counts, right?
True to form, on October 18th, 2005, the Asian Cricket Council announces another star-studded cricket match for charity - this time to aid the victims of the massive earthquake in Asia.
Shaharyar Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), said: "During a recent conversation with Jagmohan Dalmiya [ACC president], an ACC-sponsored relief match was considered. We agreed to examine possible dates for an international match in the next few days."
Hmmmmmm, this sounds eerily similar to something that happened a few months ago. Lets see how long it takes before the ACC, having reaped the rewards of the positive publicity this announcement will generate, reneges on its committment, citing unavailability of players due to cramped international schedules. {It is December 26th, 2005 today}. I shall try to keep a track of this and see how long it takes for them to act upon their words. If they do, I shall happily eat my words.
