Lovely story here about Peter Pan author JM Barrie putting together the first celebrity cricket team, when he drafted in SirArthur Conan Doyle, PG Wodehouse, AA Milne and Jerome K Jerome for his curiously named team the Allahakbarries between 1887 and 1913.
It's about a new book called Peter Pan's First XI: The Extraordinary Story of JM Barrie's Cricket Team by Kevin Telfer out later this month, which looks to be a fascinating read.
