Australian rules in South Africa

A night out in Bulawayo

There are batsmen who cannot be moved and then there's Misbah-ul-Haq. There are swing bowlers and then there's Waqar Younis. There are small towns and then there's Bulawayo

There are fans and there are fans. Everywhere the Indian cricket team goes, they are followed by the full range of fans - from Heckler to Hero-Worshipper

Zimbabwe moves on

For most travellers, Zimbabwe has the same fascination as a car crash - it looks interesting from afar but there's enough about it that says, "Don't get too close." Tales of power cuts, food shortages, communication problems, and the more serious

Perils of the premature tweet
