When is the musical of the BCCI AGM coming out?

Broadway has "Spamalot". Kolkata has the Annual General Meeting of the BCCI. Except that anyone wishing to see Indian cricket's comedy farce in action is likely to be the subject of a High Court injunction themselves.

If my local city council functioned like the BCCI, I'd expect the government to step in, sack them and appoint an administrator until fresh elections can be held.

The Net Sessions 3 (Ogg Vorbis edition)

It's a bit late, and I apologise. More detailed grovelling in a tic, but Issue 3 of cricket's first regular podcast, The Net Sessions, is now online.

I actually had the bulk of this completed on September 5, but then for a variety of reasons I was unable to finish the post-production straight away. I regret this taking so long, but in the interests of continuity, here it is.

The Net Sessions, Issue 3 (belatedly)

It's a bit late, and I apologise. More detailed grovelling in a tic, but Issue 3 of cricket's first regular podcast, The Net Sessions, is now online.

I actually had the bulk of this completed on September 5, but then for a variety of reasons I was unable to finish the post-production straight away.

I regret this taking so long, but in the interests of continuity, here it is.

CricInfo adopts blog technology

At Africa's premier online conference, HighwayAfrica, Mark Comerford from Stockholm University emphasizes that blogging is really "just a content management system." For example, to say blogging is journalism is like saying your telephone is journalism. It's really the content and the stories people have to tell that's important here. Technology is just the carrier or enhancer.
