Pub Cricket
Pub Cricket is a drinking game involving two teams. The game involves teams taking turns to bounce a coin into a pint glass. Since the late 2000's rules have evolved into the current pub test cricket format, including bowling, catching and fielding regulations

Background and History
The game of pub cricket evolved from a group a friends based in Wimbledon, South West London playing a drinking game of bouncing a 5p coin into a pint glass in the early 2000's. Due to the friends shared love of cricket the simple game of bouncing a coin into a glass evolved into a team drinking game based on the concept of test cricket. Since the creation pub cricket rules, a pub cricket test series has taken place between the friends every year since 2010. To split the teams the group of friends have split into two teams based on their nationality, due to large number of English heritage amongst the friends, the teams have been split into England and Rest of the World to evenly split the teams. The England Vs Rest of the World concept has stuck and a number of players from various nationalities have been represented in annual test series including England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Australia and Anguilla. Test series have been played in a number of locations including London, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest and Malta.
