The team got together in the bar after the final practice.
Bruce said "well done everyone, I think you have all figured out which end of the bat to hold now."
Raj said "Thanks Sachin, what will our opponents be like?"
"Well Shane they are mostly younger versions of us, expats who play for fun at weekends. All except Ibrahim Patel."
"That name rings a bell."
Dr. Swigert said "Ibrahim is the students team captain who has delayed his astronomy PhD thesis defence to play the match. He played high level student cricket for Kolkata University before he came to California. The USA national team are hoping he stays here long enough to qualify to play for them."
Then Ruchi appeared.
"Hello Raj, what brings you here?"
"Cricket brings me here Ruchi, I am with the Caltech staff team who are playing the Caltech students next Saturday."
"Cricket in California! This I must see."
