And on 2nd and 10th April 2011, a special cricket match was played between the US Consulate and the British Deputy High Commission at the same venue. It was a pleasure to watch the US Vice Consuls and the Deputy British High Commissioner sweat it out under the scorching Chennai heat during the friendly match played between the two teams.
