Bowling a chinaman

[ceemage]

Random thought: it’s a shame that China doesn’t have a cricket-playing tradition, or else touring sides could have the traditional warm-up match against President Xi’s XI.

Cricket has a grand traditional of pulling together ad-hoc invitational teams for touring countries to kick-start their tours. The *best*-named invitational cricket XI is, and always will remain, "Davina, Duchess of Norfolk's XI," who seemed to be the first opponents for every overseas touring team of an English summer in the 1980s. I don't believe Davina ever had the nerve to select herself for her own team {grin}
