Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen, well known cricket umpires

[vilakins]

The Basin Reserve is indeed filled to capacity today for the charity "fill the basin" cricket match for Christchurch. There aren't just famous cricketers there, but also actors, mayors, and a Prime Minster, John Key, who hit a four off one of Shane Warne's (very easy) balls during the break to get $100,000 for Christchurch.

Ian McKellen and Martin Freeman are umpires! How cool is that?

It's still on now, but sadly not on TV; I'd be watching otherwise.

That's excellent, and particularly timely as a friend whose birthday it was yesterday has a thing about the Sherlock cast in glasses! I've sent her that link to add to her collection!

Perfect gift then! :-D

That's a lovely icon.
