Allahakbarries
Allahakbarries was an amateur cricket team founded by author J. M. Barrie, and was active from 1890 to 1913. The team was named in the mistaken belief that ''Allah akbar'' meant ''Heaven help us'' in Arabic (rather than ''God is great'').〔Chaney, Lisa, ''Hide-and-Seek with Angels - A Life of J. M. Barrie'' (London: Arrow Books, 2005)〕 Notable figures to have featured for the side included Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse,〔''Wodehouse: A Life''〕 G. K. Chesterton, Jerome K. Jerome, A. A. Milne, E. W. Hornung, Henry Justice Ford, A. E. W. Mason, Walter Raleigh, E. V. Lucas, Maurice Hewlett, Owen Seaman, Bernard Partridge, Augustine Birrell, Paul Du Chaillu, Henry Herbert La Thangue, George Cecil Ives, and George Llewelyn Davies, as well as the son of Alfred Tennyson.
Barrie wrote a 40-page book on his team, ''Allahakbarries C.C.'', which was published privately in 1890 and in a revised version in 1899. It was reprinted in 1950 with a foreword by Donald Bradman (). These rare books are now highly sought by collectors.
Barrie's enthusiasm for the game eclipsed his talent for it; asked to describe his bowling, he replied that after delivering the ball he would go and sit on the turf at mid-off and wait for it to reach the other end which 'it sometimes did'. The team played for the love of the game, rather than the results it achieved, and Barrie was generous in his praise for his team-mates and opposition alike. He praised one team-mate's performance by observing that 'You scored a good single in the first innings but were not so successful in the second' while he lauded the opposition's effort by pointing out how 'You ran up a fine total of 14, and very nearly won'. He instructed Bernard Partridge, an illustrator from ''Punch'' magazine who was afflicted with a lazy eye, to 'Keep your eye on square leg' while bowling and told square-leg, 'when Partridge is bowling, keep your eye on him.' He forbade his team to practise on an opponent's ground before a match because 'this can only give them confidence'. The book notes that his most calamitous performance was being clean-bowled by the American actress Mary Anderson in the 1897 "test" against the village of Broadway, in the Midlands.
''Peter Pan's First XI'', a book on the exploits of the Allahakbarries, was published in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kevin Telfer - Author & Journalist )
