President spins as pitch crumbles
The Pakistan Daily Times reports that President Bush, when asked in an interview with Indian journalists how he would choose between a cricket match and a Bollywood movie, replied "I'm a cricket match person...I appreciate it. As I understand it, I may have a little chance [presumably on his forthcoming visit to the sub-continent] to learn something about cricket. It's a great pass-time."
It's odd that Mr Howard, our self-confessed cricket tragic, doesn't seem to have mentioned, let alone encouraged, the President's interest. Update 1 March: The London Daily Telegraph reveals more about the President's reported preference for cricket. He apparently knows what cricket is but isn't aware of what Bollywood movies are.

Perhaps, next season, we might see a US President's XI at the SCG in a 1-dayer.
Or, perhaps, an Ashes series at Shay stadium?
That team might have quite a few whose arms (and consciences) are bent more than the permitted 15 degrees. But then if the PM is selecting his first XI it might be ludus nullius.
