We’ve done the week after bombs in Sri Lanka, during a state of emergency in Nepal and just generally during the time after the September 11th attacks when everyone went mental and assumed that there were going to be attacks on every city that wasn’t their home town for some strange reason.

The Gujarat riots happened 10 days after we left Ahmedabad before you start thinking that we deliberately seek these things out as a cost-saving measure.

Can’t remember our reasoning. Might have been something to do with Bangalore’s reputation as ‘the pub city’.

KC, Hyderabad does have one of the best grounds in India (including the facilities). One of the best pitches until the recent India NZ test at least..

Ged emailed us earlier in the week to say that he was going to Hyderabad. Think that had a lot to do with that comment, Pavan.
