Abstract
To celebrate National Curry Week, staff at The Rose Bowl, home of Hampshire Cricket, will be tucking into nothing but curry this week.
Nigel Gray, Mark Miller, Dave Henbrey and Ian "Easel" Tulk will be dining on curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner from Monday to Friday this week, all with the aim of sampling five Indian curries and five Sri Lankan dishes, designed by the venue's chefs from Compass Group UK & Ireland.
The favourites at the end of the week-long experiment will be served to cricket fans attending England's NatWest Series One Day International match against India and historic first-ever Test Match against Sri Lanka at The Rose Bowl on 6 September and 16-20 June 2011.
Nigel Gray, head groundsman, said: "It's going to be a difficult job but somebody's got to do it. Fortunately, all of us are keen on curry so that'll make the task all the easier when it comes to the latter stages."
