Last night I found where he or some of his relatives are currently living.

The bottle shops here have taverns out the back where you can drink and eat.

Two Aussies, Sam and George, joined me for a beer at one of them after the first day's play of the Mohali Test. And so did several rats that were crawling around on the floor.

Apparently because a mouse was seen at Ganesh's feet once they are considered good luck, and this flows on to rats.

Not sure what is lucky about the black plague but I am a foreigner so it is probably beyond me.

Anyway, the owner of this tavern wanted us to pay a 50 rupee "sitting fee" as we were only drinking and not eating.

Obviously we thought about this, kept drinking and walked out without paying this ludicrous ripoff. Insert comment about last rain storm.

Buying tickets to the game isn't the easiest thing over here.

I had to scalp a ticket on day one as the ticket booth wasn't open, I mean what possible reason could there be to sell tickets?

Apparently you have to go to the bank to buy them, which makes perfect sense.

The crowd was ridiculously small, which is good considering how we are doing, and they are prevented from jumping onto the ground by a moat. They really need to put some crocs in there for effect though.

Oh, and you aren't allowed to take water bottles into the ground because the locals throw them onto the field to get the players' attention so they might get a wave from their favourite player.

But in the Indian way, you can buy bottled water in the ground.

Today, I skipped sitting hung over in the burning sun and instead went and saw the Nek Chand Rock Garden, which was completely made out of rubbish.

Certainly worth a visit if you are ever in Chandigarh (and would be an ideal place to take a chick on a date).

If you do visit, do not stay at the Punjab Palace Hotel.

I'm certain the owner sold his mother many years ago and his manners are non-existent.
