Commentary:

"Sussex in England is the venue for the Golf Croquet World Championship with 64 of the world's best players all vying to be number one. Golf Croquet is a more dynamic and spectator-friendly version of Association Croquet. But if you thought this activity was a quintessentially english passtime, you'd be wrong. Egypt are the dominant force in the game and the current number one, 23 year old army officer Ahmed Nazar, takes the title giving a good spanking to Dennis Buttock of New Zealand by three games to love."
