Brambles cricket

[moodycruiser]

Did anyone perchance get any photos of the cricket match on the brambles last night - couldn't get there myself as was working late and no more RIB's leaving from our marina by the time I got home. ?

Amazing photographs especially the one with the tanker in the background.
If the helmsman had been "on the tipple" during the match.............
He'll be "cured" by now!

I think the tanker was being used as a sight screen. What you can't see is the umpire, with a handheld vhf, saying "port a bit.... now starboard... port again... that's it"! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

We went down and anchored off the brables post to watch .. could'nt see much as it was a whacking great crowd of people, but lovely evening .. if we were to do it again would go onto the Brables in the dinghy rather than watching from afar.

Global Warming Cancels Play

From RIN website

For over 50 years the Royal Southern Yacht Club, based in Hamble, Hants, and the Island Sailing Club, based on the Isle of Wight, have met for a cricket match on a 200-yard sandbank exposed only once a year in the Solent by tides and winds. They have just 40 minutes to play before their pitch disappears back into the Solent.

But this year the shortest cricket match in the world has had to be abandoned. Prof Carl Amos, of the Southampton Oceanography Centre, said global warming was one reason why the pitch has been getting smaller as sea levels rise and the land sinks. 'The cricketers are lucky that they have been able to play for this long,' he added.
