Cycling to The Ashes – Cricket in Belgrade

www.kvazibarki.com
Oli Broom, the 29 -year-old everyman began his ca. 25,000 km solo and unsupported bicycle life experience at Lords Cricket Ground, London on 10 October 2009. He aims to reach Brisbane Cricket Ground (The Gabba, in Australia) in time to see England play Australia in the first Ashes Test Match of the 2010/11 series, in November 2010.
We met the Londoner in Budapest, Hungary and decided to follow him to Belgrade, Serbia.
His inspiring character and the challenging 14 months journey, spiced with the unexpected (from a Hungarian point of view) taste of cricket motivated us to document/film several parts of his round-the-world bike tour.
Here is the teaser of the Serbia bit. And yes, they play cricket in Serbia!!
