Thanks, Nathan.  That's an interesting story, sprinkled the a suitable

And I enjoyed the cricket game as well :-)

2 points of language, though:

Is "pueblo" not a town or village?

 From the cricket, the man with the bat is a "batsman"; "batter" comes  
from the other side of the Pond, in baseball.
