Adelaide: South Australia's most famous food and wine city, Adelaide, is ironically hungry and high on cricket. And why not? After all, it's not just any cricket — it's World Cup cricket and secondly, and most importantly, it's cricket's greatest rivalry — an India-Pakistan encounter slated a day after Valentine's Day.

Again, the irony is unmissable as all celebrations of love will begin and end a day earlier. On Feb 15, there won't be any trace of romance at the Adelaide Oval — not among the players and never among the ever-so-passionate fans.
