Summary

Pathe synopsis: In recent years, many people have complained of the slowness of cricket. To confound the critics, we visit a match as played in 1818 - with authentic equipment, dress and olde worlde courtesies. The match by the way is staged by students of the Wimbledon School of Art to celebrate the end of term.
