Historic occasion! The coming together of three continents for a cricket  match. Australia and Africa separated by more than 9000 kms meet in Asia for a cricket match and the venue is Visakhapatnam.

The 'noblest game' provides more than a feast for the eye and the mind. It fosters goodwill and kindles hope. Cricket shows that the world can change for the better from a cauldron of hate and misery to a cup of joy and hope.

The performing player, the supervising official, the cheering spectator, the narrating scribe and the commentating expert are all components of the game - Viskakhapatnam welcomes all to witness the show, when the Aussies begin their bid to regain the title with a match against the gallant Kenyans. Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Vivian Richards were some of the celebrities seen on the occasion.

Cricket the great leveller, has a charm of its own and Visakhapatnam like debutants Shane Warne and the Kenyans was making its debut as a centre for world cup cricket. The ACA, VDCA, the city and the people will be justly rewarded if the players and visitors carry back warm memories of their 'Visakha safari'.
