On a light note (ball)

For you in North America...well South America also. You probably do not know (unless your watching BBC World News)....a great sports athlete has done it.

Were's he from? What has he done?

Cannot even spell his name, but he's from India, and all the "cricket" world know him and they sure know what he's just done. Cricket is just like a religion in India, and their man (now 38 years old) just got his 100th 100 runs - that is 100 times in International Cricket he's scored 100 runs. He started pro Cricket at age 16 and so you know how long it has taken him to set this record. The "cricket world" thinks it will never be broken.

Cricket....yes for you in North/South America, "cricket" is a HUGE sport in the rest of the world. Yes there is another immensely popular team sport besides "Soccer" "North American Football" "Baseball" "Basketball" and "Hockey" .....and it is CRICKET!

And as far as I know it is still "the gentleman's game" - a team sport where tempers are not lost, fights do not break out.

So for the "gentleman's game" well done for Cricket's world record. Just one of the many GOOD things happening in the world.

Oh and despite the 100 runs from India's famous Cricket Batter, India still lost the one day game to Bangladesh .... wow what a Cricket team Bangladesh must have.
