Cricket in Bangalore

Two things to note in these photos. The second picture shows fans buying fresh sugar cane juice and the fourth shows the military providing security for the game. Our driver told us this is because the police are corrupt.





Cricket fever hit Bangalore when Australia came to town to play India on an ODI (One Day International). This game differed from the World Cup India won recently in that there were several games to be played in different cities in India and there was a limit of 50 overs rather than the 20 overs in the World Cup. Now how many of my fellow Americans have a clue about what I just wrote?? Unfortunately the game was rained out which probably was a good thing for India as Australia had knocked out India's top batter just as the rain started.
