Cricket and Hitler? edit
Is it true that hitler killed germany's cricket team after they drawn a test match after 5 days of playing ???
- Germany have never played a test match so no. Although a remember reading that cricket was banned by the Nazi government after a safety inspector decided that the best place to investigate the game was about 2 metres away from the batsman. He got hit with the ball and declared the game unsafe. I've not managed to find a reference for this, so if anyone can find it, I'd appreciate it so it can get in the article.
