Indian Passion: STRANGE GAME WITH STRANGE FACES IS HIT OF FESTIVAL'S FINAL DAY
Twenty-two cricket players took to the field in uniforms as white as the British gentry who popularized the game 200 years ago.From a distance, with their white shin pads on white trousers, their white shoes and socks, the figures in the center of the greensward could have been lifted right out of a Victorian novel.These, however, were not the playing fields of Eton, but a park just outside Fort Lauderdale in one of the county's predominantly black neighborhoods.

Indian Passion: The Economic Times:
Few can bend it like Chadha
