| Standing at London Luton Airport, waiting in check-in on the return flight to Amsterdam, with cricket bags, hang-overs and one 6-a-side Trophy we overheard the following conversation of 2 of our fellow passengers: ‘Look, a bunch of guys are going to play golf’ Mrs Passenger ‘No, those are cricket bags, these guys are cricketers’ Mr Passenger foto's, films en ander vermaak, klik hier!II |
Polite cough and interruption from ACC4: ‘Ummmm, sorry to interrupt, yes we play cricket...but we sure ain’t cricketers’...

| Recipe Dispatch all ingredients, in bulk, to a rural location in South England. Gently add unlimited amounts of Cheddar Valley Cider. Mix in several games of cricket – taking care to include ABSOLUTELY NO LBWS GIVEN TO ANYONE BY THE ENGLISH as well as a generous portion of long-hops and full tosses. Allow the bowlers to simmer on the boundary and appeal for the bad light even though you are fielding. Expect an initial crash and bang with big hits and quick singles on Day 1 that will slowly fizzle out into sodden cross-batted slogging and crazy lazy run-outs by Day 4. Store overnight in Spaniard-infested youth hostels or 400 year old country-houses and after dark, gently roll out into the pre-heated Oxford night-life, taking care not to burn your fingers on the crumpet. Allow plenty of time in the morning for any alcoholic digestion to take place, making sure that overnight bloating is treated with liberal portions of ‘full English breakfast’ and ‘Hair of The Dog’. Finish off by dressing with fantastic ACC 4 tour t-shirts and non-shaven faces and bake gently for a half-day in the sun at the Edgbaston test-match. |
