What Obama Can Learn From Cricket
Forget building a basketball court in the White House. What the President-elect Obama really needs is to commune with cricket, writes Michael Fullilove in The Financial Times. Cricket is about internationalism, featuring teams in important geopolitical hotspots like India, Zimbabwe, and Pakistan. “Cricket requires patience and discipline”—just what Obama will need in a frighteningly complex world. Moreover, “in foreign policy as in cricket, you cannot win a match with a single swing, regardless of the beauty of your cover drive.” Perhaps this explains Bush’s Iraq policy: He was trying to the longball.
