Note that a rather weak provincial side in Zild, Northern Districts, walloped the English team this week ...

Well, that's not difficult!!!

As for one-dayers. We usually play evening Taverners (20 overs - no lbw, first ball free, retirement at 20 runs, two-overs bowling per player) games after work and the occasional 40-over (proper rules/laws) at the weekend against a GOOD side. The evening games usually last about three hours and can be watched from the pavilion bar - probably the best cricket grandstand in the world! Such is our standard that we usually win the cricket match but come second in the drinking competition afterwards!

We don't have the time for five-day tests, although it would be great to play in the odd one.!!
