Thread Name: BS: Anyone for cricket?
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone for cricket?
I've just got back from Corfu and have seen the pitch mentioned above. Corfu was a British protectorate during much of the 1800's and cricket is a legacy of that era. So is ginger beer! The pitch is pretty small and the residents must fear for their windows and cars when a boundary is hit. However, the ginger beer is brewed locally and tastes like it used to in the UK when I was a kid....I'd love to have seen a match but with the temperature in the 40's that must some feat - for the spectators as well as the players! Anyway, Headingley tomorrow and with a Yorkie in charge we could just be in luck.....
