Opening post

A couple of observations from day 5 of the second test match:

1. Alistair Campbell was conspicuous by his absence. Most likely he left for India to rake in the Champions League moolah.

2. When the live telecast went inside the dressing room to showcase the celebrations, from what I watched, it looked like Grant Flower and Peter Chingoka made sure they avoided each others' face to face contact.

Campbell was there sat behind him twice just didnt take pics of him (didnt wanna ruin my camera). I should have though. He was there at the ground two of the days but funny enough he wasnt really watching the cricket!! He was having meetings. And the supersport cameras came right up close and took some closeups for over a minute. This was during the first test though.

I think Nkala said, when that happened, something like "he sure loves his meetings!".
