Cricket Oddities

A fish once stopped play in Sri Lanka when the two-foot specimen landed in the middle of the wicket after being dropped by a sea eagle. When Gareth Lewis hit a six in a game at Nawton, the ball landed in a car radiator grille and ended up in a garage in Kirkbymoorside, some three-and-a-half miles away. Two cricket teams from Keswick in the Lake District once played on skates on the frozen Derwentwater Lake. These are just a few examples of the weird and wonderful facts that can be found in this miscellany of cricket trivia.
