We had some make up classes that day if I remember correctly. Or maybe I'd gone to coaching. But definitely had classes that day and heard the game through that little pocket transistor and through the car radio.
Your post brought back old memories..........those days of 1997 ICC trophy and taking the pocket radio to school and being glued to it in between classes - all that passion and desperation to qualify for the world cup! It's taken a while but we have come a long way!!
