    Usually the two sports go hand in hand together, but not in this case. What on earth are they doing? All very amusing anyway.

    Flamenco Cricket - bowling your way to humiliation

    By Will 3 years ago, mid-October, Comments

    It’s Flamenco Cricket. It’s new, it’s crazy and it’s coming to a club near you it’s more than a little odd.

    See? Winning the Ashes does strange things to everyone. From Flickr user reggio.

    South Africa’s Hashim Amla

    By Will 4 years ago, mid-December, Comments

    I couldn’t beleive this when I heard it. Hashim Amla, young 21 year old Saffer and a devout muslim, won’t and doesn’t wear the SA shirt sponsored by Castle Lager because it’s against his religious beliefs. (the tee-total bit I suppose). I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything like this before, certainly not in cricket. Presumabely if Castle are the team’s main sponsors, they’ll pay for lots of perks and give the players odds and sods (like Vodafone do for England, and 3 do for Australia). I presume any perks offered to Amla will be politely refused, even if it’s non-beer-related….
