Having been at the debacle that was Day 4 of the Lords Ashes I returned 4 days later for a more light hearted evening of T20 Blast. A local derby if there is such a thing in cricket between Middlesex and Surrey. As a Surrey member I was naturally hoping to see an away win. … More Middlesex v Surrey T20 Blast – Event 94
I’m writing this after Event 93 – Day 4 of the Ashes Test at Lords – I’m quite relieved that I haven’t had time to write about the game at The Oval, it means I may have calmed down before I start that one! I’d bought tickets for my brothers to watch Somerset at the … More Surrey v Somerset T20 Blast – Event 92
Having started the week with lunch with Sir Garfield Sobers (I’m still pinching myself) the cricket theme of my week continued. The joys of having 2 memberships means I’ll have cricket galore on top of my Ashes days, being something of a cricket geek that’s a piece of heaven for me! The 1st game of … More Essex Eagles v Hampshire Royals – Event 82
By strange coincidence I managed to do an impression of being a Kent fan, watching them 2 evenings in a row! Mixing things up with my T20 viewing this season had me at the Oval for the visit of the Spitfires. I had a morning of messing about with my photos from the game in … More Surrey Cricket v Kent Spitfires – Event 79
Having never been to Canterbury to watch Essex play I decided to head down after work for their T20 clash with Kent. I may have been a bit foolhardy, I hadn’t really considered how far away Canterbury is! Typically the day was one full of accidents all over the M25 and M2, the M25 had … More Kent Spitfires v Essex Eagles – Event 78
My Friday, in other words, Thursday, saw another Essex T20 Blast fixture, this time the visitors were Gloucestershire. The joys of having the County Ground on my doorstep meant I had time to pop home after work before heading to the Members parking at Meteor Way. I’d chosen unallocated seating, which on this glorious evening … More Essex Eagles v Gloucestershire – Event 75
Friday night means T20 Blast! I really didn’t engage my brain when I wrote the Surrey v Essex fixture in my diary. For some stupid reason I interpreted the match as a Royal London day time fixture, when I paid £99 for a Take That ticket! Naturally when it came down to making a choice … More Surrey v Essex Eagles T20 Blast – Event 73
Friday evening and it was T20 Blast time again – this time it was all about local cricket – Essex Eagles v Somerset (No fancy Name) – I’m going to mix my T20’s up a bit this year so won’t be at all of the Essex games, but this one I just had to go … More Essex CCC v Somerset CCC – Event 68
After a rugby league fest it was time for a more leisurely pursuit, during the Easter holidays I’d had a quiet day, that generally has me looking for sports fixtures. I already had my Essex and Surrey dates pencilled into my diary so looked further afield. Lords – The Home of Cricket is a place … More Middlesex v Kent , – Event 67
The first T20 Blast games of the ‘summer’ gave me a chance to make my first visit to the Oval as a Surrey member. My home county Essex were playing Hampshire, a trip too far for 40 overs of cricket. Having discovered last year that a Surrey and England membership means you are guaranteed a … More Surrey v Glamorgan T20 Blast – Event 56
