I'm there on Day 1 with the better half (her first ever cricket match) and then with a mate on Day 3. Looking forward to it.

@forzamilansafc is. Not sure which day though.
Yeah. Therefore my opinion is worth more than those who don’t go. That’s what I’m told anyway

I suppose that's true for an opinion of how good/bad the beer tastes, but viewers at home get better replays and the toilet is nearer.
I don't have Sky at home currently so I can't wait to see a bit of cricket, and get a batch of Brownie Points while I am at it.
WHED says otherwise

Is he still around? Must be another username surely. I haven't seen his musings for ages.

Full day though, in a beer garden where you can bring in your own refreshments.
When you spread the cost over a good 7 or 8 hours, it's not that bad compared to footy.

I go to the Saturday and/or Sunday of the Oval Test every year and while it is an expensive day/weekend when you add in train fare, hotel, beer and food, it is one of my highlights of the year.

Day 1 aye
I’m not comparing it to footie. If I wanted to gan sit in a beer garden that’s what I’d do, it wouldn’t cost me anything for entry and I’d just have to buy my beer.

You wouldn't have test cricket going on in the beer garden though.
It's not something I can afford more than once a year but I think the price is pretty reasonable for what you get.
Well yeah, that’s why it probably wasn’t the best comparison on your part

Wouldn’t take a gold pig and attend a game v India, their *fans* do my head in.

Day 2 on Friday
Aye, buzzing to see Mo Ali actually
One of my favourite cricketers, 5,6,7,8 of Bairsotw, Buttler, Ali and Curran
Yes please
Anyone think Pope's way back in the team could be at 3
Granted he will be lucky to be back in the side, but if they really rate this lad as the next big thing, the stage now of "protecting" him is long gone. He needs to step up. Could be an option, he can't stay at 6 forever. We have better options there IMO, especially when everyone is fit.

Yes, I thought he should have been at 3 in India and it annoys me that he’s been ‘protected’ as you say down at 6. If he’s as good as everyone says he is let’s see him be given and take some responsibility.
If he hadn’t been injured and in such poor form before that I’d be in favour of him there, but for this Test I’m not sure.
