50 blogs later - what should the next 50 cover?



Years ago I used to play a game called cricket that is unfamiliar to most Americans, but which has a huge international following.  You can get a  quick insight into the game at the governing body's website (http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/), but the very best orientation is to watch a game of the Twenty20 league from India where cricket has now moved to a new level!
Despite first appearances and the inevitable challenge of comparing it to more familiar sports, its really is a pretty simple game - played on a large oval field like the one pictured above by two teams who traditionally wear white uniforms.  Whoever scores the most points (runs) wins! 

I was mostly a  bowler (pitcher), but occasionally had the good fortunate to score a few runs/points as a batsman - each of the 11 team members has to bat at some time in a game.  As a batsman, a score above 50 is a great achievement - most of the top class players aspire to a career average above 50.  Occasionally they go on to massive scores like 300+, but that's another story..

As you may already have intuited after that long winded sporting diversion... the number 50 has a certain significance to me.  And so after agonizing long and hard over what to make the subject of this milestone 50th blog, especially now that we have opened the blog to a wider audience beyond SeaLife Center staff, I thought it only fair to ask...
what would you most like to see (or not see)       
in the next 50 blogs?

Howzat for an appeal?

please post you thoughts and suggestions following the protocols described in Blog#1 so very long ago...

  1. Thanks to the 5 people who have so far emailed comments directly to me - suggestions range from stories about marine debris and other topical issues to to more insights into partners we work with to adding this blog link to facebook. Will take those on board. Ian
