The pitch will be smaller, due to the natures of back yards and of wiffle
balls. We would be hard put to field two eleven person teams, and
I think previously we cut it down to 4 or 5 people per team.
There are people on this list who actually know what they're doing, but
I don't think we're aspiring to competence or correctness.
Films with cricket included for plot purposes (and which
therefore may not represent real cricket):
"Maurice" (1987, Merchant Ivory adaptation of Forster novel.
Cricket only in one scene)
"Deceived by flight" (an episode of the Inspector Morse series)
"Outside Edge"
[those three are available through the Minuteman Library Network if
you can't find them at your local video store]
"Wondrous Oblivion"

There are opportunities to see it played live, but irritatingly
enough they conflict with ringing at Old North, as games are played both
weekend days at 12:30 in various locations. It should be possible to stop
by the Almont Street game briefly on the way to Hingham on Saturday if
people are interested. It would mean bringing lunch to eat while
watching or in the car rather than going out for food. For the schedule,
