In 2017 I wrote an article about my favourite World cricketers, I’d seen 9 teams that year and picked at least 1 player from each country. I picked 4 for England, being Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow. One of those players has since retired from international cricket, another may be doing so very soon. Moeen and […]
A warning – this is a proper geeks article – bringing out the real cricket tragic in me. I had no intention of a third day at Lords, having virtually melted over the 2 days I had been there, but an offer of a ticket from my friend Nigel was too good to forgo, history could have been made at […]
Having to wait in for my shower to be fixed I was going stir crazy – the man turned up at 4.30 pm! The rain had been falling all day and yet the clouds started to clear and a bit of blue appeared. So, my first Women’s cricket game was a distinct possibility! I am going to make an awful […]
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 Test series England had already […]
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 get all 3 things out […]
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 for having 2 folders for […]
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 get to see 5 days […]
Leapfrogging Event 103 again I have to continue with the Trent Bridge Ashes! I’ve learnt lessons about buying tickets this summer, they’re cheaper for a reason! I paid £60 for a Day 2 seat and was a tad disappointed with my view. I was in the William Clarke Family Stand and had a huge gap, then advertising boards in the […]
I’m about to break my self made rule about how I write my blog, I have the Surrey v Worcestershire Royal London game to write about – Event 103. But, I just can’t wait to write about Day 1 of The Ashes at Trent Bridge! I may not be able to get too many photos in yet, but I just […]
