Speaking of day dreaming on the sport's field reminds me of the fable of the
Nawab of Pataudi who was fielding at point close to the bat. He fell into a
reverie to be woken by a swift shadow near him. Instinctively he caught it.
Imagine his surprise when he found a startled swallow in his hand!
Regards Arthur.
