aww i know... kinda made me sad. btw, you know how i have the bbc ticker? so it keeps scrolling across saying "inzaman to get hearing date from the icc" which to me means international criminal court! i know it's the international cricket something or other but i feel they need a new acronym.

the international criminal court should change their name. the international cricket council has existed with that acronym for 97 years vs the 4 years for the criminal court. :)
