<P>I suspect you of playing "tease the foreigner" Stuart! I had a memory that
when in Hollywood, Sir Cedric Hardwicke expected all expatriot Brits to turn up
for net practice for the local cricket team, but could not find this on line.
But I did find this, from around the time of <I>The Waves</I>:</P>
<P>"The headmaster of High Wycombe Royal Grammar School, Mr. E.R.Tucker, in an
effort to stimulate the interest of parents in school affairs, has arranged
cricket practice at the nets for fathers once a week."<BR><BR>Evening Post,
Wednesday August 14, 1935</P>
