well they are houstonians. they will die by our hands if nothing happens. theyve done it before though, so it shoudnt be a big problem.

Fair enough...

Didn't I hear somewhere that this was a load of hype and none of the Indians knew anything about it?

I wonder what Middlesex and Surrey will have to say about Pathan and Harbhajan upping sticks just after getting there?

Not to mention Streak from Warwickshire.

And Harris was on TV earlier this week - he's a long way off any match fitness. Can only just bowl off more than one step.

Although he has taught himself to throw accurately with his left arm...

He never bowled off that many, anyway...

we've seen about the same here in holland. they promised us all this big players..andy flower, matty hayden, shane warne, etc etc but in the end we got a weird world XI squad..though seeing Afridi play and kemp was cool :D and see afridi play with de leede was soo cool!

Some awesome names in those line-ups. I'm jealous! Then again, this is one-in-a-blue-moon for you so I hope you have a good time, really. :)

Assuming, of course that it does actually go ahead (likely), and all those names do travel (very unlikely)

Has there been anything in the local papers?? Will it be held in a baseball stadium and what will be the capacity of the ground??
I don't really think that the ICC or whomsoever is organising this expects to make much of a profit from a match played in Houston? Approximately how many Indians/Pakistanis live in Houston? (I really don't think we will see many people of other nationalities coming for the game)..

In any case, I just hope it goes ahead and that it is a great success!
