Crap Arrest of the Week

For overstepping the boundary...

A man visiting Calais Migrant Solidarity had been in France for just half an hour when he was arrested for... starting a game of cricket! He had arrived at food distribution where some hawk-eyed Afghanis spotted the cricket bat in his bike trailer. Before you could say "howzat" the innings opened.

The only thing missing was the wicket which was quickly provided courtesy of a marker pen in our cricket enthusiast's pocket. A well placed drive saw the ball race between across the out field and over the road for four. Unfortunately, having retrieved it, he was apprehended by some evidently unimpressed PAF (police aux frontieres) and whisked off to Coquelles police station to explain the finer points of the Duckworth-Lewis method. Jeux sans frontieres indeed and definitely not cricket.
