Through To The Keeper!

The Taj Mahal, the most beautiful monument to love ever built, sits on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra. Built 350 years ago, it appears ageless from the front, and even more so from the other side of the river where each tour to Agra has included a bash on the banks of the river behind. There’s no more striking backdrop for any sport in the world, cricket aside. When we walked the last few metres from the road to the river the marble beauty appeared through the trees and when seeing the giant mausoleum in all its beauty without a person in view, most Flaggers stood agape, whereas Hodgey here just missed the ball, his mind clearly elsewhere, and why not. Just look at the where we played the game, so who cares who wins or loses? Such a spectacle is the reason we came here…. And will again when next we tour!
