Desert island doosras: cricket fever in St Helena

Stumped

Available for over a year

The British overseas territory of Saint Helena is often remembered as the place where Napoleon was exiled. But did you know that cricket has been played on this far-flung tropical outpost for 200 years? Last year, the remote community of just 4,500 people even sent a team to Botswana to compete in their first ever ICC tournament. Simon Parker made the 7,000 kilometer trip from London.
