Players stripped down to their whites, battled temperatures of -20 degrees and set a new world record for the highest ever cricket match atop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The group spent six days trekking to get to an area where they could build an oval in a crater on the top of Tanzania's highest mountain.
Matt Weihs, 39, of West End, Esher, was part of a group that included international cricket players determined to play at 5,752m.
The previous record was set at Everest Base Camp in 2009, and Mr Weihs worked out that the difference in height his team played at compared to that was twice the height of the Shard.
Mr Weihs said: "Before I knew it we were playing the game. Everyone took off a couple of layers to our cricket whites.
"To run in to bowl was one of the hardest experiences of my life.
"It was so much fun. Once the competitive spirit went in people really did throw themselves about."
The team of 30 set off for the summit on September 20, reaching the pitch site on September 26, and included former South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini and ex-England spinner Ashley Giles.
They played 10 overs each before clouds stopped play.
The feat was all done in the name of charity, and the Mt Kili Madness group aims to raise more than £200,000 for Cancer Research UK, Tusk and the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation.
