But not the game of white-flannel elegance as it is played at the Marylebone Cricket Club in London. Oh, no! This is tropical, Technicolor kirikiti -- buxom girls in lemon yellow shirts and sky blue skirts thwacking around a homemade rubber ball with a three-sided bat, while supporters rhythmically chant and dance and beat vigorously on biscuit tins...
