ap, tent, water, food: check. All needed to scale the snow-capped peak of Africa’s highest mountain Kilimanjaro. Bat, ball, stumps, pads: check. Also needed when you’re hoping to break the Mworld record for the highest game of cricket ever played. Two teams are taking part in a gruelling eight-day trek up the vast extinct volcano, to play a full Twenty20 game in the ice-covered crater just below its rugged peak, at 5,785 metres (19,000 feet). Over 30 players and umpires — “Kilimanjaro is definitely not somewhere I thought I’d bowl a few overs, but the challenge thanks to the altitude is huge... bring it on!” English bowling legend Ashley Giles, one of the and a journalist — are making captains of the mixed professional and amateur teams, said. the trek to the top, along with a The eccentric dream, to hear the thwack of willow on leather over three miles (five kilo- metres) high, was thought up by expedition leader David Harper, a British hotel real estate Tanzanian support team of over consultant. Harper said he planned the match in a cafe after his wife told him the “only way he was a hundred, helping to carry the ever likely to play cricket at the highest level would be if he played on the top of a mountain”. After a week of climbing that began Saturday, teams plan to reach the peak at dawn on kit and food up to the top. Friday. But they then must play a full game in the crater of the dormant volcano, laying down a plastic track for the wicket over the ash before playing in the thin, freezing air surrounded by vast blocks of ice.

Rain won’t stop play South African icon Makhaya Ntini, the country’s first black Test player, is also taking part in what he called an “massive, exciting challenge”. Once a herder in a rural area of the Eastern Cape, Ntini was the first black African to rep- resent South Africa at cricket, making his debut in 1997. “It is going to be like going back to the old days, playing a game in the dust in the rural areas, when you didn’t care where you played because you were just crazy for the game,” Ntini said, who played 101 Test matches and took 390 Test wickets. “That will be the greatest of things,” he said, speaking on the mountain, already high above the cloud level. Those facing the formidable bowler may be alarmed to hear that balls reportedly go far faster at higher altitude. But Ntini laughs, saying his otherwise dangerous delivery may this time be a little slower. “It won’t be my usual bowling. We’ll be playing in so many clothes with the cold, and then there are the heavy boots,” Ntini said, during the eight-day expedition up the flanks of Kilimanjaro. There will be half the level of oxygen than at sea level for the game, doubling energy needed for the match. The teams are taking oxygen tanks for medical emergencies. But while flurries of snow may be possible in the bitter cold, organiser Harper promises that at least “rain is unlikely to stop play”. Qualified umpires will ensure the charity game is played properly — and is eligible to break the record. The mainly English team also includes players from Australia, Canada, Kenya and South Africa. “It is a incredible challenge,” said Heather Knight, the other team captain, who back home is vice-captain of the English women’s team. The expedition of over 30 players and umpires — and an AFP journalist — are making the trek to the top, along with a Tanzanian support team of over a hundred, helping to carry the kit and food up to the top.

The current record for the world’s highest game is 5,165 metres (16,945 feet), South African bowler Makhayao Ntini played in the Himalayas at Everest base camp in Nepal in 2009. dances with Tanzanian porters on If successful, the game on Kilimanjaro will be over 600 metres higher. the second day of the treck.

‘No jolly in the park’ Alan Curr, who played in the 2009 game on Everest, mourned the possible loss of his record and what he joked as his “best conversation starter”, but gave his full support to the teams. “The whole point of our trip was to inspire people to get off the sofa and do something with their lives,” Curr said from Japan, where he now teaches cricket. “I think they’ll find that once it’s done it was not all about the record; but raising funds, making new friends, and doing something that they will talk about forever.” While no technical climbing skills are needed, playing a game at two-thirds the height of Everest will have considerable risks, including acute mountain sickness. Curr, author of Cricket on Everest, warned climbers to take care. “We saw people being carried down from Everest base camp on stretchers, and two people died on the trek at the same time as we were there — and those guys weren’t doing 22-yard (20-metre) shuttle runs in pads and a helmet,” Curr said. “It’s no jolly in the park.” Players are raising funds for charities including Cancer Research and conser- vation charity Tusk Trust, which works to stem rampant poaching of elephants and other animals. Funds raised will also go towards building Rwanda’s first international cricket pitch. The game is growing rapidly in popularity there after being introduced by those who returned after fleeing genocide 20 years ago. Three former England captains — David Gower, Nasser Hussain and Andrew Strauss — all offered their support, as well as England women’s captain Charlotte Edwards. “They must be daft, the lot of them! It’s taking cricket to ridiculous heights,” Gower said. “This is an immense challenge,” said Hussain, poking fun at old teammate Porters trying to get a mobile phone Giles, warning, “Don’t forget to take some spare match balls, especially for when signal to call their wives. Gilo is bowling.” Strauss warned “the bowlers may struggle” on a freezing, high-altitude moun- tain pitch. “Climbing up the highest mountain in Africa to set up stumps, unpack the cucumber sandwiches and play the highest ever game of cricket will be a truly remarkable achievement,” BBC cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew said.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
