Mrs RT (no) reckons there was a cricket match in All Creatures Great & Small.

There was an episode of One Foot in the Grave where Victor is listening to TMS in a beer garden. England take a wicket and he punches the table with joy, sending a pint flying over a big bloke sitting nearby.
IIRC, the next scene sees Margaret treating Victor for a bust nose or black eye.
Pretty sure CMJ was the commentator.

To give Carty credit I think there was another Heartbeat cricket episode. An old retired Yorkshire player had got in the wrong crowd and the game was a form of making amends/ moneySee Post #1

Aye, brilliant programme! I think in that one Paul, played by Peter Egan, wins the match for Martin's team with a brilliant innings.
Martin doesn't know whether to be happy or annoyed as Paul as outshone him for the umpteenth time!

Yeah and to add insult to injury the opposition captain was cross with Paul because they played a "ringer" when it was supposed to be a game for those who just enjoyed cricket.
I used to watch that show. Was like a tragic comedy which in some ways was very sad but funny

There was a bit of cricket played by the Vicar in This Country, if that’s your sort of thing.

The Goodies episode “2001 and a bit.” featured cricket with the MCC mercilessly caricatured. There’s next to nothing on YouTube but Wikipedia gives a full synopsis.
Definitely. All I remember now was a fielder trying to catch a ball next to a tall wall which was the boundary and ended up over the other side!

I've got a DVD compilation of The Goodies which I've had for years and just checked what's on it and it includes this episode.
I must admit I can't remember it but I'll try and watch it again when I get time.
