So waiting til at least August for a daytime, weekend game. I’ll probably go for a weekday/Friday nighter in that case. Still July at the earliest. I didn’t think it’d be that late in the year. Thanks for the info, anyway.
taking in a game of cricket...

It late due to England hosting the World Cup this summer. There are games at Durham for that as well.
England tickets usually start at £30 for a game

Hard to get them? I will dive straight into that if possible like. Will they sell out fast or at all?

Am I right in thinking that some friendlies are starting in March this year? Or have I dreamt it or something?

Never been to the T20 fixture at Durham but I'm told by cricket forum regulars that the match against us Yorkies is the best. It's like when your Sunderland lot play Leeds Scum or either of the Shitfield clubs except you get to give all of us some abuse at the same time, whichever of the three Ridings we hail from and take the piss when you beat us

The game against Durham Uni starts on March 26-definitely the first time I'll be watching a cricket match before the clocks have gone forward.
Having said that the last couple of days' weather was definitely good enough to stage a game down the Riverside.
Be even worse this forthcoming season if Dirty Leeds have been promoted to the Prem.

Will be f***ing grim at Headingley as well for us Yorkies that aren't L***s fans. L***s think they are Yorkshire and sadly judging by your post the rest of the country believe it!The game against Durham Uni starts on March 26-definitely the first time I'll be watching a cricket match before the clocks have gone forward.

I visited Elland Road three times in the 1980s watching SAFC and it was like attending the Nuremburg rallies.

Live 3 miles from the shithole (work forced me here) and have never set foot in the place even when we (Hull City) have played them. Sworn that I never willI visited Elland Road three times in the 1980s watching SAFC and it was like attending the Nuremburg rallies.

It's just that they've got the biggest gobs.
Funnily enough I was at the 50 over match against Yorkshire last season which coincided with the RL weekend at Sid James.
Was chatting with some Castleford lads who were despairing at some loud mouthed Hull fans making an exhibition of themselves in the Co Durham Upper saying they were RL's answer to Leeds Utd.

Can't stand Hull f***ing ***** either. It's a thing in Hull you're either a City fan or a fan of one of the two rugby clubs, never both. A lot of the egg chasers follow the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool and Leeds and ridicule City. Always put it down to them seeing us as a threat to their shite M62 corridor-centric sport and its popularity in the city. As it is, it's nowhere near as popular as it once was. Lucky if they both average 15000 a season combined these days (although our crowds have dropped off a cliff too with the various rows with the owners)
f***ing weird the lot of them. Never been inclined myself to start supporting Leeds Rhinos or Wigan or St Helens but there you go

Where do you live mate?
International games are excellent.
Durham games lack big game atmosphere but are great on a sunny day.
Personally you can't beat a decent club game at a nice ground though. Has a charm that grass roots football doesn't (not that there's anything wrong with grass roots football).

It's a great day out. Drinking beer in the sun and usually in good company.

I wouldn't gan and watch it if I didn't have a basic grasp of the rules like.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
I've moved along the progression stage and watch England abroad now. Great experiences. Cannit wait for Cape Town next January.
