Look here too

For any aficionados of leather and willow who can't make it to the West Indies for cricket's World Cup, we reveal the pubs that are offering the opportunity to watch the matches in style...

The Cricketers
Richmond Green, (020 8940 4372)
A Greene King inn - the pub team play just outside. Bit chilly for all that now, but events from the Caribbean will be followed with interest.

The Walkabout
Temple Station, WC2 (020 7359 3690)
The Beige Brigade, New Zealand's own Barmy Army, assure us they will be at this antipodean haunt on Friday for England's match against the Kiwis. The brigade is a tribute to NZ's hideous Seventies strip - lamb chop sideburns and dodgy mullets may also be in evidence.

The Barracuda
133 Houndsditch, EC3 (0870 608 2777)Theme bar near Liverpool Street station, with 20 plasma screens and two big screens. You can book a VIP sports area with table service.

Hanover Arms
326 Kennington Park Road, SE11 (020 7735 1576)
Traditional pub near the Oval, with five plasma screens.

Lord Nelson
9 Enfield Road, Brentford (020 8568 1877)
Victorian Fullers pub, a favourite with west London's social cricket sides for almost 20 years. Excellent menu, including Sunday roasts.

Buckle Up! This friday at Temple with the Beige should be a wonderful evening - probably not enough time to grow a good Prison Vagina (mostache)... but zinc/stubbies and sweatbands are a must!
