Peckham is full of surprises these days - so it's quite natural that Samuel Beckett should make his way down the East London Line to play in W.G.Grace's cricket bat factory. Sam was after all something of a cricketer himself, appearing famously in Wisden, the cricketers' almanac, having turned out against MCC for his university.
