BEIJING - The highlight of the Beijiing Cricket Club's (BCC) calendar gets under way today when the three-day Beijing International Cricket Sixes swings away at Dulwich College, Shunyi.
More than 500 spectators turned up for last year's event, which saw local club Phoenix walk away with the Sixes Cup, and organizers expect similar numbers - if not better - for this year's fifth instalment of the event.
"Things started off slowly on the Friday last year, picked up on the Saturday and then we had a great crowd on the Sunday," said Ian Syer, secretary of the BCC and one of the tournament's primary organizers.
