Penguins Stopped Play

Eleven Village Cricketers Take on the World

Harry Thompson
Comedy writer and TV producer Harry Thompson (1960–2005) started his Captain Scott Invitation XI while at Oxford in the 1970s, and early members included Hugh Grant and Ian Hislop. This bestselling book is a humorous chronicle of the eccentric team's mission to play a match on every continent, including an encounter with penguins in Antarctica and an unlikely victory over the Malaysian national team.
