Expats. Pity they don't play it in the banlieus, life would be simpler all round. It's always great when you get heroes mentioned out of context - having a Brazilian in 1970 in the US talk about Bobbies Charlton and Moore while I talked about Pele and Rivelino and everyone else looked blank - well, that was fun. Who was the Frog who went for a paddle at carnoustie a few years back. Beaucoup hilarieux, you can't win a Major with wet feet.</p> Wisden does actually have a short article about cricket in France each year. Expats.
