Bowling in the jungle, Maasai way

Am no marketing guru, but this seems like it would be a good way to market Kenyan cricket. Think about it... Maasai dressed in traditional garb playing cricket. Makes me contemplate watching the game.

Bowling in the jungle, the problem with journalists especially print( me being one of them) is that there is no way to hide your mistake. According to the dictionary, jungle is a wild land overgrown with dense vegetation, often nearly impenetrable, esp. tropical vegetation or a tropical rain forest. That headline is not consistent with this definition. Never mind I also make these mistakes everyday
