I have heard the same complain from my friends living over there. I watched the Tests in Colombo when SA came over hear last year, which I enjoyed a lot!! And I had the rare pleasure of explaining the game to a couple US visitors too!. I still remember with pain Bret Schultz causing havoc in an earlier tour! <BR/><BR/>I look forward to exploring your blog and especially learning a thing or two about Owl boxes as I am keen to try one in my garden.<BR/>Congrats on your Rugby World Cup victory!

As a South African I am nuts about cricket although it's hard to find it on TV in the States without paying massive amounts of cash. The last world cup I managed to watch most of the games on the net. Anyway, keep birding and writing!Owlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397568108655750480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-23024984155653348432007-12-27T07:23:00.000+05:302007-12-27T07:23:00.000+05:30Thanks Larry!
