not exactly, it is the Marylebone Cricket Club, not only the oldest cricket club in the world but also for all intents & purposes the sports governing body. 20,000 members (approx) and a 20 year (approx) waiting list for membership unless your lucky enough to qualify for membership by playing for the MCC.

can you try out for the team?

I don't think i'm quite up to the standard they expect, ho hum only 18 years to go if I apply now

18 years will fly by

Is Jiminy Cricket a member?

Scrooge was sitting in his office in the week before Christmas. He was counting his money, making sure he had made enough profit for the year.
Suddenly, he became aware of a noise. It was one of those irritating humming Noises that once you've noticed it, you can't concentrate on anything else, so after some time trying to ignore it, he decided to investigate.
He looked all around, and finally managed to pin-point the sound coming from under his desk. Bending down to look under the desk, he was suprised to see Jiminy Cricket, playing a tune.
He crouched down, and said "Jiminy!" (for they already knew each other), "what are you doing?"
"I'm singing you a Christmas carol," Jiminy replied, "but I've forgotten the words, so I'm just humming it instead."
"That's not all," says Scrooge, "You're only playing the first bar, over and over again."
"Well," says Jiminy, "I guess that makes me a bar hum bug."
