Skara Brae
I say!
Not far from the Ring of Brodgar wicket is Skara Brae. The purpose of Skara Brae also becomes obvious on further close inspection.
It is quite clear that Skara Brae was where Neolithic man stored his cricket kit. In the snap above one can see four places perfectly sized for a 'coffin' - the popular name for a cricketer's kitbag, and beside it, to the left, a smaller storage place for cricket balls. There are four coffin storage areas - one for each of the top oredr batsmen. One can only imagine the talk of cricketing strategy that must have been common in this room.
Above is another view of Skara Brae.
Neolithic man played cricket many years before the 'Ashes' were conceived, of course, but below is a snap of the trophy which was almost certainly awarded to the winning team.
