I’ll be at Lords on Saturday for the women’s Ashes T20 game in the Edrich stand. Got a ticket for their ODI on the Sunday the weekend after at the Ageas.It’s a sellout so women’s cricket is getting bigger. It’s so much cheaper for tickets and the quality is getting better all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I rather like this 😋- .................................................. Booze and boos, but banter trumps hostility in Headingley outer Leeds: In the afternoon shadows of Headingley’s Western Terrace – the notorious gathering spot in English cricket for disorderly conduct and mischief-making – three burly men stood dragging on cigarettes and sipping beer. Two of them were draped in ponchos, sporting fake moustaches and wearing sombreros. The other, a tight-fitting short dress made from the flag of St George, complemented by a blonde wig. The atmosphere in the stands at Headingley on day one of the third Ashes Test was spirited, but most fans were well behaved.Credit: Getty Images Out of nowhere, a rowdy Australian arrived in a gold XXXX bucket hat and Hawaiian shirt. “Which one of you whinging Pommy bastards has got a light?” he yelled at the top of his voice. All three men offered up instantly, smiles on their faces. By the time the quartet had stubbed out their butts they were talking about meeting up at a nearby pub at the end of play. “We all like to shit-stir a bit, don’t we?” the Adelaide man, Hamish Davison, says. “It’s all a bit of fun, hey? We all love our cricket.” https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/booze-and-boos-but-banter-trumps-hostility-in-headingley-outer-20230707-p5dmf3.html 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpuynarak Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Englands batsmen are letting us down imo, obviously with the exception of Stokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much "I've got to hook that short ball, because if I don't the Aussies will see it as a victory.... oh.... I've been caught...." attitude. They don't seem to have the patience to build an innings, presumably because most innings they play these days don't last more than 20 overs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegrogmonster Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 We have given you Poms a good chance of winning this match so hopefully your team has a good crack at it. Not good for the game if we keep on winning every match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
