Cricket on the Adriatic

Descendants of a hero in Nelson's navy, who established one of cricket's most unlikely outposts on the island of Vis, are returning to the remote Adriatic island to take part in an historic cricket match. The Telegraph's Alastair Jamieson writes on how Sir William Hoste encouraged locals to play cricket with his crew and how his family, which includes a vicar, a minor cannon and an HSBC employee from Hong Kong, are forming a Hoste XI which will play the locals.
