Boat Race (game)
A boat race is a drinking game where teams, usually of equal numbers, race to finish their drinks in sequence. One theory on the name is that it is acronym for "beer on a table", an alternative explanation may come from the Australian term for drinking a full beer in one continuous motion i.e. "to skull" or "skulling" and that term's homonym in the single crewed rowing race "sculling" & hence a boat race. Common rules include those regulating the number and gender of drinkers, the vessels from which the liquid must be consumed and punishments for spilling. The game appeared in the 2006 Broken Lizard movie, ''Beerfest ''Beerfest'' is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and starring the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, which comprises Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske.

Marylebone Cricket Club
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) is a cricket club founded in 1787 and based since 1814 at Lord's Cricket Ground, which it owns, in St John's Wood, London. The club was formerly the governing body of cricket retaining considerable global influence. In 1788, the MCC took responsibility for the laws of cricket, issuing a revised version that year. Changes to these Laws are now determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), but the copyright is still owned by MCC. When the ICC was established in 1909, it was administered by the secretary of the MCC, and the president of MCC automatically assumed the chairmanship of ICC until 1989. For much of the 20th century, commencing with the 1903–04 tour of Australia and ending with the 1976–77 tour of India, MCC organised international tours on behalf of the England cricket team for playing Test matches. On these tours, the England team played under the auspices of MCC in non-international matches. In 1993, its administrative a ...

Frank Griffith (cricketer)
Frank Alexander Griffith (born 15 August 1968) is an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1988 and 1996. Having made his Second XI debut during the 1987 season, he played his debut first-class match during the following season. After Derbyshire had named a squad which did not feature Griffith's name, he was suddenly to find himself called up after many of the players, aggravated at the poor weather, drove away from the August 1988 game. Two weeks after this memorable first appearance, his Derbyshire team played host to the touring Sri Lankans in a drawn three-dayer. Later, he was also to find himself playing for Derbyshire against selected teams of West Indians, Pakistanis, Australians, and South Africans. Such as was the case with several of the Peakites' all-rounders of the early nineties, he barely found comfort in being able to claim better batting or bowling skill either way. Following Griffi ...
