Re: Days 9-10 and summary
Best damn trip report ever posted on 2+2, Clarky. My only complaint is that you didn't make it a 12 day trip to include Vancouver, B.C.

Re: Six Years in Las Vegas
Sorry to hear about your dad, Dynasty.

Sounds like you've got a nice boss in Mason!

Re: **Official Cricket World Cup Thread**
Malinga's 4 wickets in 4 balls is, I believe, a first in ODIs and not just a first in World Cup history.
Has anyone pulled off the feat in test cricket?

Re: **Official Cricket World Cup Thread**
At 42 years of age, it's hard for me to digest that I can still get as affected as I have been by a sporting loss (i.e. India's ouster). Particularly given that I didn't give a damn about cricket...

Re: Cricket : Serious business
Tragic news re: Bob Woolmer.
I fear for the families of the Pakistan and Indian players. I really do.
I was disappointed after yesterday's losses but this news now has me down right depressed.
