Strange that the counties don't get an allocation, all tickets via Lords. Warwickshire could have bought them all already!

Last time members could get 4 each, I think.
 

is hastings going to be here for the final? i assume so as it's not been mentioned but forget when he is off

Last time it didn't even sell out. There were loads of empty seats, even where I was in Compton lower (or was it Edrich lower?).

He's off on Friday at 10 O'clock straight after the last day against Middlesex ..... just got to hope that Stokes isn't whisked away by England .....

Anyone else having trouble getting through to buy a ticket on the Lord's website .......
 
Incredible performance, to score that amount runs in those conditions was top draw. I was gutted when i turned up at the ground and saw Durham batting but that was quality. Notts bowling was average but i can see why people go on about Taylor he is a quality batsmen.

I originally got two tickets through Lords, then one through a DCCC member so I sold my two on eBay to a Hants supporter for a considerable profit which went into the beer kitty. I'm fairly sure, therefore, that Hants sold out.

From conversations at the end of the game today, there will be a few empty seats - and hotel rooms - at Burnley! Dabber is praying for a rain-delayed finish again!

Just waiting on my train back to Glasgow. The decision to come down for the day may be the best decision I've ever made in my life! As a few folk have said, Stokes' innings was the best I've ever seen live. It was worth the trip down alone. See you all at Lord's!

Got mine sorted, booked digs for two nights too, easy peasy.
 
Great performance and great day. Looking forward to a day out at Lords!
 
Mental to say that but IMHO it didnt seem THAT huge an innings/total.

I think they ticked the scoreboard over SO well it slipped under my radar how well we did. When you see a team post 350+ off 50 overs its normally sixes galore etc but iirc there was only one or two until the last 10 overs or so.

Utterly Brilliant.

Also want to say James Taylor is brilliant. Easily one of Englands best imho.

Especially in those conditions. little mention for Mustard as well. He is clearly out of nick but battled away and supported Stokes without playing a daft shot.
 
Gutted I've not been able to make it today. Saw the first innings on TV listened to most of the second on the radio.

Should be down at lords, first away game I'll have been to seeing Durham
 
Why the hell did James Taylor persist on bowling that novice Ball???? He was getting blasted by everyone yet he kept going back to him...silly.

Never looked in any trouble but lacked the power of Stokes which gave him the ability to accelerate the Durham score throughout the innings. After 35 overs Durham had about 180 and then scored pretty much the same in the last 15. Stokes' 1st 50 took him 47 balls but the 2nd only took 37 and the 3rd, 21! Taylor's one-day average is close to 60 though, which is impressive by any standards.

It was a shame Collingwood got out when he did as he was starting to play some outrageous shots. If he had stayed in with Stokes we'd have made 400.
