There was a lot of angst online about Nottinghamshires intention to charge £10 for this surprise Day 5, I’d bought my tickets at the end of last summer so my £10 was long gone, and there was no way I was missing the end of this test match. Overnight the powers that be at Trent … More England v India – Trent Bridge – Day 5
So, tomorrow I’m going to Day 5 of the Test match at Trent Bridge! Those aren’t words I thought I’d be typing or even considering yesterday, or even at lunch time today! I managed to arrive at the ground with everything I took with me, so was fully prepared for whatever the weather chose to … More England v India – Trent Bridge – Day 4
My day didn’t start too well, I travelled into Nottingham Station by tram again, chatting to a couple as I went, I got off and felt bit light as I walked along the platform, I’d left a bag on the tram, with everything I needed to protect me from the elements, umbrella, Kahoolawe, hat, sunglasses, … More England v India – Trent Bridge – Day 3
Before I start writing about Day 2 of this third Test between England and India I should confirm that I am an England fan, but, luckily for me I’m a fan of the game of cricket first. I had an OK sleep after Day 1, the Airbnb I’m staying in is close to a hospital … More England v India – Trent Bridge – Day 2
After an unsuccessful test for me at Lord’s I was looking forward to the third test at Trent Bridge. I was lucky enough to have received a ticket for the TMS v Tailenders match at Derbyshire’s 3aaa’s Ground. My daughter had been visiting from Paris and had a train to catch in London, I decided … More England v India – Trent Bridge – Day 1
With tickets at £110 a day for the first 3 days I took the decision to only go for the first 2 days at Lord’s, I later added Day 4 for £80, but decided to sell that ticket to a friend as my daughter is here, visiting from Paris. My decision meant I saw just … More England v India – The 2nd Test – Lord’s
And so we came to the finale of this intriguing test match, I had another horror night in my hotel, I have no idea why people coming from a different time zone can’t understand that people want to be asleep at 3am in the morning! But, slamming doors and shouting for 2 hours at that … More England v India – Edgbaston – The Finale!
My journey to the ground for Day 3 was seamless, I felt like trying to tell those paying to park that they really didn’t need to! I had empty seats around me, they must’ve heard about me! But had a few good exchanges of views throughout the day. England had the opportunity to get runs … More England v India – Edgbaston Day 3
My morning had a much better start than Day 1, I drove to the road I was parking in rather than driving miles away from the ground! It was a much better plan. My seat was in the Scriveners Opticians Stand, I knew this would be a good seat because I’d picked it when I … More England v India – Edgbaston Day 2
England’s 1000th Test and their first against India this summer started today at Edgbaston. Most of the talk before the match, on the England front, revolved around the inclusion of Adil Rashid, a man who opted out of playing red ball cricket for his county, Yorkshire, in 2018. He goes into this series with a … More England v India – Edgbaston Day 1
