Description

History

Established in 1845.

Surrey County Cricket Club was formed in 1845 and is one of the most historic sports clubs in the UK.

We first won the County Championship in 1890 and have since lifted the most prestigious trophy in English domestic cricket nineteen times, most recently in 2002. The club’s most successful period was from 1952 to 1958, when we won the title an unprecedented seven consecutive times.

The vast majority of Surrey home matches are played at the historic Kia Oval cricket ground in Kennington, south London — which has also staged International cricket since 1882 and was the ground where the Ashes were born. Since then, every great cricketer in the world has played in the shadow of the famous gasholders which overlook the ground.

Best computer Geek Story came from the UK and it apparently involved some rascals from Surrey, including this club I got to visit while visiting my sister and her family when they lived in Surrey («With the Fringe on Top!) for almost a decade.
Legend has it that a bunch of cricket enthusiasts working at a local high speed computing facility that also helps program local power facilities were playing cricket inside the facility since the computers were all housed in steel cages, and it was hard to shut down anything that could do any real damage… or so they thought…
Rascals…
Except that there is this one major red shutdown button behind what looks like more of an ice-​hockey mask then a truly secure shield.
Apparently flying high-​speed cricket balls can get wedged somehow and knock out the big red shutdown button.
Local towns could and did have complete electric blackouts.
Oops.
