In this situation, you lose the most active elements because the less exciting people stay at home and drink. I wouldn't call it a 'brain drain' because that term makes me think of rocket scientists. But it is a hemorrhaging and I don't think it's going to do Poland any good in the long run. |
In this type of competition you only get to see a small portion of what the judges are judging on, ... When they started announcing the runners-up they got all the way from fourth-runner-up to first and Caylee's name still hadn't been called. I really started to think that she hadn't placed. |
India has shown its interest and so has Pakistan. But personally if possible I would like to see the 2011 World Cup being hosted jointly by the four Asian Test-playing nations - Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It would be something to look forward to and give the game a big boost. |
