RAMS AROUND THE WORLD: IT'S JUST NOT CRICKET!

Posted on: Mon 23 Jul 2007

You don't see many cricket flags at football matches, but it's certainly not the case the other way around.

Look in any cricket ground these days and you're bound to spot countless flags and banners from fans of football clubs.

At the World Cup earlier this year, out in the West Indies, many bearing Derby County messages could be seen.

One of those belonged to season ticket holder Andy Marratt, who - along with Marie Dawkins-Smith - spent four weeks in Barbados and St Lucia during the World Cup earlier this year.

Naturally they couldn't resist several great photo opportunities and they've sent the results to us.

They proudly displayed the flag at the six Super Eight games played at the Kensington Oval, the semi-final in St Lucia, and then again at the final back at Kensington.

Two minutes of fame came their way with an interview on Sky Sports by cricket correspondent Tim Abrahams, following England's loss to South Africa.

"But we returned for the play-offs and the final," Andy said.

"What a year - a fabulous holiday and the Rams are in the Premier League!"
