Default Cricket the world over.



In a little village in Travancore (Varapuzha), a date palm, three sticks for stumps, a bat,
and someone to bowl to you....Ahhh! Cricket.
The sport of gentlemen.

A pity 1 KAR did not have a year, we could have dated it.


Anyone care to suggest what "A.O" means after "Varapuzha" ?

Earlier Trav had TAD

Yes, that piece of "willow"? has a distinct curve methinks.
