I don't watch or follow Pajama Cricket, but I am happy that it happens. Its an entry point to the game for the kids in a crowded field of summer sport and it assists in building up the treasure chest of the game.
Good luck to whoever might be playing this year.

I dunno, maybe pajama cricket isn't so bad after all!

Oh dear, maybe some players need to change their pyjamas or maybe their game.

Even the dogs may eat the crumbs that fall from the Master's table.... Said before: one day matches don't count. But if it makes the Barmy Army happy, who am I to deny them their simple pleasures?
Any one for tennis?

Anyone for a tennis match that lasts as long as a Test?

Australia win one, chasing down 197 with three wickets to spare. England did pretty well to recover from 8-5 to make 196 although it does seem to have been a bowlers pitch and, let's face it, Australia's bowlers are better.
