The Unicorns lost to Nottinghamshire yesterday. This reminded us that a friend was asking about them the other day. We suppose we’d better clear up a few questions.

Who are the Unicorns?
The Unicorns are the ECB Recreational XI.

Where are they from?
They are from “long ago.”

Why should I support them?
Because if the Unicorns have their horns cut off, the world is plunged into eternal darkness.

Hope that clears things up for you all.

DON'T BE LIKE GATT!

Mike Gatting wasn't receiving the King Cricket email when he dropped that ludicrously easy chance against India in 1993.

Coincidence?

Why risk it when it's so easy to sign up?

  1. I am still too aggrieved that my ECB Recreational XI TV show never got commissioned to worry about the bloody Unicorns at the moment.

  2. Are ECB Recreational XIs a bit like recreational drugs?:

    * more fun than the other sort
    * unlikely to be deployed backsidewise
    * guaranteed to induce parental disapproval – and therefore high up one’s own approval list
    * likely to get you into trouble at some stage, but it might well nevertheless be worth it
    * shrouded in near-insane mythology

  3. The unicorn is the symbol of purity [aka in medieval terms = virginity] and some of these lads look either in the correct zone or way beyond it in the sensual sense – but maybe the brainiacs in the ruling body have an unusual insight
