Space Hijackers vs The Government London based anarchitects Space Hijackers, known for their Circle Line parties, have challenged members of Parliament to a round of Mayday cricket [pdf] "over their lack of honour and morals".

Over six hundred letters to Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs were prepared in their city office before being personally delivered to Parliament. The match is on, but will any MPs take the challenge?

  • Thanks dykpm, I have found inspiration in this combination of some of my greatest passions. For a somewhat more orthodox lefist approach to cricketing matters one would naturally turn to the great CLR James but can't seem to find any of his writings on the wandering of the crimson rambler here.
  • Much awesomeness. I might go along.
  • Flash, I have a reasonably impressive googlie, which I yearn to reveal before your honourable member.
  • I will send this along to my brother, he will appreciate it and unlike me, can maybe actually turn up.
  • Quid, your legend for bowling a maiden over is already known around these parts.
  • That and his short leg.
  • which he swings both ways, especially after giving it a shine with the vaseline he has in his pocket.
  • Although, dj, with a quick flick of your hard willow, you could knock my swinging balls down to my fine leg. Please.
  • Hmmm, looks more like a square leg to me. Is there a third man involved?
  • The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey.
  • What a silly point.
  • 'Why do you call your dog Charlie Griffith?' 'Because he has four short legs and his balls swing from left to right.'
