great add and cover. just loved the book (will write more)
in 1992 took three canadian colleagues to see the West Indies defeat a world 11 at toronto skydome (now rogers centre). closed roof and artificial turf. of course there were no ausies in the world 11.

There are cricket pitches in Toronto, dear. BC is apparently a cricket hot bed, but Toronto is the other major center in Canada.

But playing in NYC is plain daft. The Bay Area is stuffed full of cricket fans (most of them India supporters). We’d provide a large and knowledgeable crowd. I mean, where is Willow TV headquartered?

I must be quite mad, since I’ve been checking my Amazon account a number of times yesterday and today to see whether they have changed the status of my Magic’s Child order to ’shipping soon, you can’t add anything to this lot any more’.

[checks again]

nope. not yet.

[kicks amazon. but gently, because we don't want to tick it off]

that article is from back in january. they subsequently decided to play the games in ireland, just before india start a summer season against england. this isn’t the first time the extremely lucrative indian tv market has led to a one-of series, and i doubt it’ll be the last.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts! I’ve yet to see Magic’s Child in a shop, but. I’m trying not to be alarmed given that some give the pub date as Friday . . .

Adam Rakunas: Yay for the ad; are you thinking about putting up more on BlogAds or through Google’s ad network?

I’m not in charge of the ads. That’s down to Penguin. I’d rather spend my money on good food and wine

And thanks for posting!

John H: As for ODI in New York, I don’t know how feasible that would be.

I’m too lazy to google, but I’m pretty sure there’s been an odi in North America. Toronto, maybe? Dunno how they did it but I’m pretty sure it was on fake grass.

Jonathan: All power to the Indian tv market!

As for ODI in New York, I don’t know how feasible that would be. Would an American football field be wide enough? And do they play cricket on artificial turf?

I, like, totally want the 3-IN-1 version. Seems like it might be a rather excellent way to read the trilogy, actually.

Congratulations!

Of course, that’s not gonna stop me from going out today and trying to find a nice, warm copy of Book 3. Its out there, somewhere, waiting to be found.

The hunt is on!
