3. A little bit of history The Cricket Club celebrated it’s 50 th anniversary last year A fair number of players are non-CERN as CERN doesn’t have so many people from cricket playing nations We have had, and still have, quite a variety of nationalities: – UK, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Dutch, Swedish, Swiss, French ……. Occasionally we have had a lady player
