Cricket

In 1997, a village cricket team becomes embroiled in a peculiar conflict with the Forestry Commission, suspected of moonlighting as a private guerilla arm. The film showcases the intersection of rural sports culture and political satire. With a cast including Anne Raitt, Paul Antony-Barber, and Malcolm Terris, it offers a distinctive take on community and conflict.

The use of a computerized Wisden Almanac, narrated by Brian Johnson, adds a humorous twist to the narrative. This element emphasizes the film's unique charm, blending the traditional sport of cricket with modern technology and absurdity. As a film from the early 1980s, it captures the essence of that era's British cinema, appealing to fans of quirky narratives and sports-themed stories.
