Cryptosporidium and Cricket

The small port of Ullapool, where the ferry to Stornoway docks, has had to boil their drinking water recently. Levels of the bacterium Cryptosporidium, a nasty bowel-bug, were above normal. According to a conversation, overheard in a pub south of the border, Ullapool was the place to go for the England cricketers. If you didn't get any runs there, you would get them nowhere.
