context_page_description: Twicket was a village cricket match. It was shown live on the Internet. It could be watched form anywhere on the world. That happened on Easter Monday, 25 April 2011. The organisers did that to show that very fast broadband is useful. Very fast broadband helps community groups to upload content to the web. The organisers says Twicket was the first village cricket match ever to be streamed online.
  Twicket is a made up word. The "Tw" is from Twitter. The "icket" is from Cricket.
  There were reports about Twicket on BBC television news, on BBC Radio London, on TalkSport, and on Radio New Zealand.
  It was written about by The Guardian, and Metro.
  It was mentioned on Twitter by Stephen Fry, the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones and Jonathan Agnew. Agnew is the BBC's cricket correspondent.
