Rajasthan Royals at their globalising best today. An Englishman born in South Africa is opening with a batsman from Madhya Pradesh. The players who follow represent the following teams: Vidarbha, Baroda, Western Australia/Notts, Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Hampshire/Victoria, Mumbai, Gujarat and South Australia. Now someone please tell me why they are called the Rajasthan Royals?
According to Wikipedia an "umpire" in cricket is derived from from the Old French word "Nompere" meaning not equal, i.e. not a member of one of the teams, impartial. There are four official umpires in a cricket game; I would like to judge the game and its news as a fifth umpire. Here are my impartial views on recent and not so recent cricket events.
