Back After a Long tour of 23 Days!

 Just got back after a long tour of 23 days or so. I never went this far south of India - Tirunelveli was where the Hyderabad team was playing Buchi Babu tournament - a tournament we remember winning in 1986-87 under Shivlal Yadav's captaincy. This time we went to watch the 4-day games and since we won the tournament emphatically with four outright wins including once very tense game against Tamil Nadu President's XI, it was a trip that was well worth it.

Since there was time on our hands between games (two rest days between each game), I managed to visit Rameshwaram, Dhanushkodi, Kanyakumari, Suchindram, Madurai.


The winning Hyderabad team with the Buchi Babu trophy at the picturesque Natham ground near Dundigal in Tamil Nadu. We travelled along a scenic route of 45 minutes everyday from Madurai!

Anyway, now to get down to the tour details.
