Test Match Special is the last vestige of civilisation on this planet.

Do any Europeans care about cricket?
- Or is it just for British expats with a Long-Wave receiver?

I was talking about civilisation, not Europe.

If you set your clock by the GMT pips is the correct time the start or end of the last pip ?

[alancalverd]

The start. Problem is that you don't know where it starts until it has started, but the last pip is exactly 0.5s long. Except when it isn't the last one you thought it would be because they've added a leap second....so it tells you the time if you already know the time. A bit like a management consultant.

Yes.
Notably quite a lot of Europeans who live in England care about Cricket.
Ask a geography teacher for further clarification.
(Don't ask a politician; they don't seem to understand).

IIRC the Dutch cricket team is pretty impressive and Ireland beat Pakistan in the World Cup a few years ago.The French claim to have invented both cricket and fish'n'chips but history shows that they are not to be trusted.

I heard that the first international cricket match was between USA and Canada.
Both nations have subsequently drifted somewhat away from their colonial roots, and now prefer summer games with an axially-symmetric bat.
