Thoughts from the Dustbin (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009
On the night of November 17th 2009, in a seedy bar in downtown Johannesburg, four men sat huddled quietly over a dirty table in an ill-lit booth. The world was not yet to know it, but these men were forming a secret committee with an important mission. Sometime near midnight, the four men - later revealed as Ricky Ponting, M.S. Dhoni, Graeme Smith and Chris Gayle (Younis Khan was originally invited...
