Indeed, with a relatively even split between the two goalies, neither enjoyed the recognition that Connolly did as one of the league’s best keepers. Balaraman proved to be more than capable as a keeper, averaging nearly nine saves per game in his 13 starts. Popp was not far behind with 90 stops in just 11 contests...
...grief drama is the most miserable beast to take on (think how the mighty Peter Jackson got mired in it in The Lovely Bones).

Today's it's an active war zone. "We were in Bannu for a very, very long time," says Knox, who excavated there from the mid-1970s to 2001. "We scratched the surface. There's still an enormous amount to do and sites are lost more or less daily. It's almost a free-for-all, particularly in difficult war-like areas...
