    This is brilliant! Bunch of lads playing cricket on ice, in the snow, in the cold, in Estonia. I’m going to have to put my journalist’s hat on and speak to them.

    Cricket will soon be a world wide sport, right next to football. What we need, though, are for the people in icey conditions to start playing constant cricket, along with the people in the middle east, the Aboriginals, the white Americans, the black New Zealanders and the South Americans.

    Thats actually me batting. I’m the captain of Estonia’s Ice cricket team! Keep a look out this month, as we have several tournements on a lake just outside Tallinn. We’re actually being sponsored by Bulmers and they are sending Ian Salisbury out here on the 17th of Feb - so expect some press coverage! Have a look on http://www.infomedia24.com or visit us at http://www.icecricket.co.uk!!
