This innovative exercise—claimed to be a world first—caught media attention, making BBC television news, BBC Radio London, TalkSport, Radio New Zealand; and being written about by The Guardian, The Observer and Metro and mentioned on Twitter by Stephen Fry, the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones and Jonathan Agnew (BBC cricket correspondent).
