The Funniest 'Village Cricket Match'

It was a long time since I read a narration and laughed so much. 'The village cricket match' is the most celebrated episode in the satirical, comical novel by India born A.G.Macdonnell "England, their England' set in 1920's. For those interested in humour and all the more for those who enjoy the game of cricket, this piece would be an irresistible read. Follow this link http://www.chrisnicholson.co.za/assets/the_funniest_cricket_match_ever_2014.pdf and enjoy. The first half of this document contains the episode preceded by a short introduction and the second half contains some interesting commentaries about cricket and the characteristics of England and English of those times.
