Why did one of the greatest cricketers of all time, AB de Villiers, pop along to Deptford Park, more or less hot off the plane from South Africa, to help the London Cricket Trust (LCT) put cricket back into London’s parks?
Because AB de Villers is a very decent chap, that’s why.
The LCT is a joint venture between the four counties with a London presence: Essex, Kent, Middlesex & Surrey. I am the Middlesex Trustee.
Pretty much everything I want to say about this wonderful day has been published on the King Cricket website, authored by my nom-de-plume, Ged Ladd.
If anything ever goes awry with the King Cricket site, you can read a scrape of that article here.
The event got plenty of press and even three minutes on the early evening news on BBC1. Janie uploaded a scrape of that item which is embedded below.
You might still find articles and pieces through this meta link.
A couple of days later, I got to talk about it all on BBC Radio London and BBC Essex, described and embedded in this piece – click here.
Or if you just want to hear the eight-minute interview – I’ve also embedded it in this piece (click below):
