Yesterday in Trafalgar Square The Everest Test 09 was launched, and with some style.

Thanks to Alex at Captive Minds we laid out a full Flicx cricket pitch and drove two Lord’s Taverners buses onto the square and played out several overs.

We also had a large scoreboard on display, just in case people failed to figure out what was going on, and more press than I think many of us had expected. Added to that we had three former England players in Chris Adams, Mark Butcher and James Kirtley which was a real honour for a group of cricket enthusiasts.

Articles have appeared in The Times, The Guardian, BBC Online and Cricinfo to name but a few, along with the front page of the Himalayan Times - so we seem to have reached across continents as well!

On top of that both the BBC and ITV were present and featured us several times during the day, so thanks for that!

Credit to Kinsey who kept his nerve bowling in front of a large audience, Charlie BN for smashing Kinsey into the fountain, and James Markby, for actually playing a half decent shot!

All in all I think the day was highly successful and shows potential sponsors what we are capable of, certainly the Taverners, MKK and North Face gained a lot of publicity and this is just the start.

The response to what we are doing continues to astound us, and although the presenter on ITV thinks we are utterly mad, he also agrees the project is utterly marvellous!
