Very, very high up the batting order

In just a few days time my cousin Jamie will be jetting off to Nepal to take part in a huge fundraising event. He's part of a group who will spend nine days trekking through the Himalayas to play the world's first competitive game of Twenty20 cricket more than 5km above sea level. The venue? Near enough two-thirds of the way up Mount Everest.

I think they must be bonkers, but they're bonkers for some good causes including the The Himalayan Trust, The Lord's Taverners and the local Khumjung School. Read the official Cricket on Everest website to learn more.

Please support my cousin as he sheds blood, sweat and tears (go easy on the blood, please) to raise money for those who need it most. Go safe, Jamie, you'll have a whale of a time.
