The travels of the Thrumpton Cap 19 of 26

19. Sep 14 Brazilian ladies....Cricket team I mean

The latest email has come in from the cap on his travels and he is on the move again.

All this Olympics business got me thinking......where in the cricketing world should I head for next?? Well after the hospitality that was shown to me on my visit to South America earlier in the year when I went to Argentina I thought a return to that neck of the woods was in order. So I headed to Brazil to see an old English mate of mine,

Matt Featherstone who used to live in Kent but married a Brazilian lady and lives there.

On my arrival I was advised to head for Brasilia if I wanted to see any cricket, Brasilia only turned out to be the home of the Ladies Cricket Team. I was welcomed with open arms as I attended one of their practice matches and as usual, all the ladies want their picture taking with the Badger!!.........the things I have to do for this great club of mine.

So it was that I finished in the team picture and on the head of the lovely Shona and her friend Antonia.

Fellow badgers be sure I will not shy away from flying the flag.........no matter how tough it

With some of the performances in the field this season the taxman is looking into importing some of these Brazilian beauties into the team to liven up the off side field with a bit of rhythmic samba style dancing.
