England vs Sri Lanka - Riverside ODI

The Breen Machine · 23rd February 2011, 09:01 AM

Still being advertised as being held at the Riverside on some websites, but ECB website saying it's now at Lords. First I've seen of that so can anyone confirm if it's been switched or not, was going to go aswell

BBC Sport confirming it's being played at Lords now and there's no ticket information on the DCCC website so looks like it's been definitley switched.

i will be at the T20 at durham. wonder if they will show highlights of the england match on the big screen. or live prior to the t20 starting. hope so. they showed the classic england v algeria last year during the world cup.

Only after the Durham game at finished. Quite a few there seemed to be glad to go there and have somewhere to escape the England World Cup hype. Including 90s genius Martin Smith who we saw during the interval.

saw him leaving austins after the durham match had finished.

i know him from when he was a kid as he used to play football on a putting green i worked at in roker park back in the 80s

this odi though starts at 1030am, so they could show the first innings on the big screen up to the 230pm t20 start time

Did we not swap this ODI for 20/20 finals day in a few years time?

Or maybe for an ODI v Australia at some point

This.

We play Australia at the Riverside next year and then the Ashes in 2013.

Doubt we'll get the 20/20 finals day for a few years now. In fact I think they've allocated the next two or three and we aint one of them.

Makes sense though considering how average our 20/20 team is ATM.

Whether Benkenstein will turn that around remains to be seen.
