The game of Cricket may have passed America by, but it's pretty
important stuff for the British and various others round the world
(although AMICA memorably fielded a team in London in 1995). There was
a fiasco yesterday in Jamaica where the England vs. West Indies Test
Match was abandoned due to a bad pitch, the first time this has ever
happened on the first day of the test.
All of which has nothing to do with music, you may think. But no,
because it reminded me that in the Billings QRS rollography there are
some rolls played by Lionel Belasco, one of them called 'The Inter-
Colonial Cricket Match' (QRS 3152, part of its 'Trinidad series').
The title has intrigued me ever since I first saw it there -- does
anyone know what these rolls are like, and do they ever turn up? Can
MMDers think of any other Cricket-related rolls?
