Shere's most unlikely team
Despite their brilliance with the pen, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, AA Milne, PG Wodehouse and JM Barrie were famously terrible at cricket.
They wrote classics like Winnie the Pooh, Mowgli, Sherlock Holmes and Jeeves & Wooster 鈥� but the cricket team they created was hilariously hopeless. Simon Furber meets historian Andrew Baker at a cricket pitch near Shere where Britain鈥檚 brightest minds batted like beginners.
With thanks to Kevin Telfer, author of Peter Pan's First XI.
