150 years ago today

Post by Invader Zim on Tue 24 Nov 2009, 01:52

...'Origin of the Species' was published...

And the man himself loved cricket.

Downe Cricket Club dates back to the time when Charles Darwin lived at Down House in the 19th century. Darwin, a keen cricketer himself, gave the club permission to use his land and the earliest known date of cricket being played on the estate is in 1865 when a report describes a match "played at Down House Paddock by kind permission of Chas. Darwin Esq., between eleven gentlemen of Downe, and eleven gentlemen of Farnborough". The tradition continued after Darwin’s death in 1882.


Handy leg spinner apparently.

One of the top stories on the CNN site is 'Is Darwin's evolution theory true?'.

You have got to be freaking kidding me.

dunno any scopes ?

but Darwin's theory is a cover-up. It's the historical equivalent to CA claiming Mark Waugh and Shane Warne discussed weather with the bookie.

I tell you, they are always 'handy' aren't they? These famous cricket fans... There's never a story about a person playing shitloads but being gash at it.
