The message posted earlier by Tim Hall in relation to the language employed
when describing cricket and cricketers from around the world is quite timely
as at midnight tonight channel 4 is showing India V Pakistan: A bat and ball
war, which will no doubt draw on many of the linguistic devices which Tim
talks about as well as drawing upon cricket to highlight the tensions
between the two nations with special reference to the conflict in Kashmir.
