Second Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

Not open for further replies.

I've always loved and followed my cricket, and played a bit too - but this test series is coming just at the right time for me as I fall further out of love with football. A group of mates of mine are not football fans, and instead go to all the tests (following England abroad etc.), and I think I'll just be tagging along with them in the future. More glued to these two games (even without the fans) then any football game in years.

I've got a couple of mates from Leicestershire who go to at least one away tour a year, and have been egging me on to get out with them. The money I've spent on tickets for away games, season ticket and travel to both I could use it to cover that and more. Think I might do next winter, now I've sacked my ST off.

I agree, in many ways, Donald has done me a favor of getting out of spending so much money each week not really enjoying myself. I know a few lads on here have been to various places and would be able to talk about it, but to me, it just sounds and looks absolutely fantastic.

I go to the football for the day out, but if I went to the cricket I'd actually be enjoying the sport as well as the fantastic experience as well. NZ, South Africa, The Caribbean, India, Sri Lanka and of course Australia all sound absolutely amazing and once in a lifetime experiences. As opposed to another trip to Scunthorpe on the train :lol:

Exactly the same only my mates don't like cricket.

I was at Scunny in the cup midweek last year, weirdly enjoyed it as a day out :lol:

Although it's not quite comparable to being in one of the countries you've listed.

Well if I ever actually do it then you're welcome to tag along with us mate! I'd certainly post on here before booking up etc. if I ever got round to it!
