** CWXI Tour of India **

[Sudeep]

I hope the team drops by at Baroda, while I'm taking a break before heading to Atlanta; you're all invited for a full day's meal.

Stay away from all the Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken's and Korma's!

But they are so delicious in the Indian restaurants in Australia. As well as Beef Vindalloo!

Whats with the problems with eating curries on the sub-continent? Are they not the same as those curries served by Indian restaurants in foreign countries?

Home made is fine, as Sudeep was suggesting. Some restaurant's in India, lets just say dont follow the same guidelines with food safety as most Indian Restaurants in Australia do.

But as I said, you can eat all the Butter Chicken, Korma, Rogan Josh, Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Chicken in like a 5 Star Hotel such as The Marriot or the Taj 5 Star, or the Hilton. Since they're internationally renowned hotels, they need to follow strict guidelines.

The local's however, will give you some great authentic food, but sometimes they might not follow really sanitary procedures, which isn't too good.

Are you guys playing a match at Bombay? If so, make sure you go for dinner at "The Chinese Room" - best Chinese food I've tasted anywhere.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Looking forward to this big time.

"Go to India to eat Chinese!"

Chef de Groot is considering a Spanish theme for our meals...

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Spanish means calls for Spanish "Tapas"... i can work on getting that imported..

 

[Blewy]

I will be taking boxes of baked beans... no chance of getting sick there...

 

[lord_of_darkness]

^ Ill make sure i have a room faar awway dont wann die in my sleep of no poisonous gases :LOL"

 

[cbuts]

Just the way a captain should be...always keen to lead by example!

 

[PY]

He'll be getting the first round in at the CW Players' dinner then.

 

[Loony BoB]

Should be interesting to see how many of our recent CW XI A side make it into the squad! Looking forward to all developments on this one. It'll be a tough tour, but I know we're at least capable of dishing out some big scores, we just need to make sure our lads can play strong for the full five days in the Indian heat.

 

[marc71178]

One wouldn't expect too many to be in to be honest - it'd be more than a tad unfair on those in the XI to be replaced when they didn't go on the A tour to give less experienced players a chance.

no.. not really

 

[roseboy64]

I think Marc's tyring to say that the A Team was playing against inexperienced players like themselves so if some of the last CWXI squad had gone they would have done well too.

 

[marc71178]

What I'm trying to say is that any fringe XI players that didn't go on tour should by definition not be replaced by anyone on tour (since their place was deemed secure enough that they wouldn't need to go onn the tour to prove themselves)

In an ideal world that would be the situation, however we have seen many times around the world when players have been 'assured' of a place on tour, yet somebody else who is playing and keeping their name in the hat and their performances are so good they demand selection. It all boils down to the position of the selectors.
