Thats correct . It was in Afghanistan . A country that has gone through tumultuous times and which no doubt lead to our departed Mate Fardin's family to move from Afghanistan to United States.marc71178 said:
As an individual from a country with not too dissimilar turmoil (Sri Lanka) the thousands of innocent lives that have been lost in these 2 countries is shocking and the trauma continues for some even after moving to other countries , as it has happened for our dear mate Fardin and his family .
May he rest in peace.

My apologies folks.JASON said:
I left for Shanghai and completely forgot about this. Now posting from Shanghai.
VERY VERY VERY sorry.
It was a very good one actually. 9 not out is the lowest score in a first class innings by a batsman who opened the innings and carried his bat right through the innings.
I dont have the details here in Shanghai. Will post as soon as i get back.

PS : Sometime last year you had promised to write about Ramesh Divecha. Still waiting for it
No, SJS. The record is Di-ck Barlow's incredible 5* out of 69.SJS said:

Parsis established a cricket club in Shanghai in 1890. Any idea whether it is still there ? (the name should be in the telephone directory if it is still around).SJS said:

As for the "Buck" Divecha srticle. I guess it has to wait a bit longer.
PS: Last year wasnt as long back as it sounds
PPS : The telephone directory in my room is in Chinese. Let me see if i can find something. Any idea what the club was called.
No. I found about it only the other day in an old Wisden article "Some dates in Indian cricket history" ( http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/152361.html ) which says
1890 : Parsi Cricket Club formed in Shanghai: probably the first Indian cricket club to be established outside India.
