It was inhuman to play cricket at this time of the year, in this heat, but that was precisely what they were doing these days. Moreover, the team was being sent out into that cauldron to pick up something called the Pepsi Cup. You had to feel for them, though they looked like young braves. While others might shop at the airport in Dubai, one would expect them not to glance at the watches and shapely state-of-the-art CD-players, to have nothing but a glass of orange juice at the hotel before going into the nets.

[*] Literally ‘brother-in-law’; but this is also a term of abuse. In a casual sense, it suggests that someone has the tiresomeness of the brother-in-law. In a stronger vein, it carries the implication: ‘I have slept with your sister.’
