Letter: Angles on horseback

Sir: I write to thank you for Martin Johnson's marvellously entertaining article on Merv Hughes (the Independent, 17 June) which brought a glimmer of light to a grey Zurich day. I dearly love living in Switzerland, but the country has its failings. When I recently asked a friend if he was familiar with the rules of cricket, he replied: 'Oh yes, that's the one you play with horses isn't it?'

Yours faithfully,

MICHAEL CRAIG
