Cricket On Kilimanjaro

A group of international cricketers has set a new world record for the highest-ever match

by playing at the top of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, in Tanzania

The teams included former South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini

and ex-England spinner Ashley Giles.

The game was played at a height of 5,730m (18,799 ft) in a flat crater just below the summit.

They played 10 overs each of a Twenty20 game before clouds stopped play.

The air was freezing as the teams batted 10 overs each in the crater of the extinct volcano

WTF!!  Is this for real? ::LOL::

The current record for the world's highest game is 5,165m, played in the Himalayas

at Everest base camp in Nepal in 2009.

The "Gorillas" team, led by England women's vice-captain Heather Knight, scored 82-5

to beat Giles' "Rhinos" team, who managed 64-9 !



                                         

With scores like that I'm surprise Binary Boy Keith wasn't playing. ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
