Cricket on Everest
There’s been nothing going on really in the cricket world in the past couple of weeks. Today India and Pakistan started a five game ODI series which is big for the two countries but does little to inspire me. Australia and Sri Lanka will start up a test series as well this week, but for the England fan things are quiet (apart from that idiot Fletcher still getting media attention).
So for today I’m just going to point you to a news story I saw on the BBC site this evening about a bunch of people who are going to play cricket on the slopes of Mount Everest, setting a world record in the meantime. They are hoping to raise a bit of money whilst having some fun. One thing though - the temperature up there could me -13…. just think of the hard cricket ball hitting your hands at that temperature. I moan enough at the start of the UK season when I think its cold! Take a look at the story at BBC News, and if I find anymore info or pics of this event I’ll let you know!
