Time to look back on what was an amazing summer of cricket, I may have to do this in 2 parts, I saw even more live play than I ever have and witnessed some wonderful performances. I’m going to go through the months to pick out some of the best. May 2018 Sam Cook … More My Favourite Cricket Moments 2018 ( May – June)
I’m catching up on writing while I’m watching the first T20 between England and India, looking back to Edgbaston and the only T20 between England and Australia. Aaron Finch took over the captaincy for this single T20 game, he won the toss and put England in to bat. England had a change around in the … More England v Australia T20 – Edgbaston
With the single T20 between these 2 teams happening tomorrow I’m going to write this with just a few photos included, then I’ll add more later. 413 runs were scored in this 5th ODI and it was far and away the best of the 4 games I went to. Tim Paine won the toss again, … More England v Australia – 5th ODI – Old Trafford
Having seen Australia ‘rained off’ at Edgbaston I was hoping for a better day at The Oval. The fact I didn’t get soaked did I suppose mean it was better, but the result for the cricket was to be the same. I was sitting in the new Peter May Stand which meant I was amongst … More Bangladesh v Australia
Having watched England kick off their Champions Trophy campaign with a win I headed back to my car in Hampstead to drive up to Birmingham for Game 2 between two Southern Hemisphere rivals. The forecast wasn’t the best and it’s accuracy will make this account more of a Phlog than a Blog. I woke up … More Australia v New Zealand

So, my first Women’s cricket game was a distinct possibility! I am … More England Women v Australia Women – Event 117
I arrived at the Oval for what was going to be the final day of The 2015 Ashes; when I bought my tickets for this Test I had in mind that I may well be at the decisive day in the series. That wasn’t going to be the case – in a topsy turvy 5 … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 4 – Event 116
I have a terrible confession to make when it comes to Day 3 of The 5th Test – I arrived a little late and forgot to get any cash out on the way. I had rugby shirts to persuade Australians to wear and a need to buy lunch, which needed said cash! I decided to … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 3 – Event 115
Day 2 at The Oval had me feeling like an excited child! A day sitting in the Pavilion, albeit in the shade! I still have to pinch myself when I find myself in such places, I am easily pleased! (A warning – the photos are a bit all over the place – that’ll teach me … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 2 – Event 114
And so the end of the summer beckons and the final Ashes Test at the Oval along with it. As a Surrey and England member I’d taken advantage of being guaranteed my seat and bought tickets for the first 4 days. I later added Day 5 to my haul of Ashes tickets. What chance I’d … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 1 – Event 113
