Absolutely no problem at all.

The best part about Ranji Trophy is that my team, Tamil Nadu, who are playing a home game starting tomo, have their game televised. Which means that, even if I am busy, I will at least get to see my team play.

We need the reasons Matt, however silly they might seem.

Sorry for the delay, been a combination of busy and ill this last week!

In no particular order:

- Bengal tigers
- It's approximately where Britain has a settlement in Empire: Total War
- It doesn't seem an obvious choice
- It looks quite pretty
- None of there players annoy me (yet!)

I don't have any sort of personal connection to India - closest would either be that my dad's ship went to Mumbai, or my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend is Indian.

I thought about Mumbai, but it'd mostly be because of Rahane and Iyer.

Anyway, I look forward to Bengal's opening game next week.

I found the coincidence vaguely amusing.

pierredelafranchesca: Gale and Pyrah to support Lions as coaches.....OK, i mean Gale has been shit for Yorks and is potentially neck deep in this racism case, but sure why not. In fact, keep the useless prick. Dec 1, 2020 14:52:55 GMT

Balladeer: Definitely needed to be a thread. I came up with one of the same answers as you because I can't see the chatbox on mobile.
