It appears that we have a spare ticket for Kent vs Essex one day final at Lords on Sat 16th August (weekend of Torquay match).

 

Not sure of the exact location in the ground but it is

[Jeff]

The ticket has now been taken.

Would have grabbed this , but imminent huge MOT bill and slight chance I may be able to do Torquay away stopped me asking.

 

Hope you have a good day. 11 men standing in a field for 4 days and its a draw.

 

Oh sorry thats county cricket

With breaks for lunch. That part kills me. And the teams can decide whether to finish a match or just declare a draw? (I freely admit I have no idea how the game works.)

[Jeff]

Cricket is great Robert. Same as baseball. You watch it and it kind of wafts over you with sporting brilliance.

[Harry J Allstars]

...day three and still no cricket because of the rain.

[Jeff]

They play it in Halifax yeah!

[Dave EUFC]

cricket is brilliant, to really appreciate it sit down in a dark room with just test match special and henry blofeld commentating. Legend. as for the eccentricity of the game, i got caught by someone with one arm yesterday, cant beat it!

 

"And over at square-leg there's a vast crane arcing across the sky saying mine's a glass of claret" Henry Blofeld

 

[Jeff]

Blofeld is losing it. The silly old buffoon.

[Dave EUFC]

take that back jeff my dear old thing

[Jeff]

I've just had a splendid slice of almond cake.

[Dave EUFC]

oh look there goes another goose.

[Jeff]

Was he following those delightful pigeons?

[Dave EUFC]

if you want blowers on pigeons this is priceless...

 

"...and a pigeon's just flown past the commentary box, flapping its wings surprisingly. Well, it's not surprising that it's flapping its wings of course because it needs to do that to stay up there, but flapping them in a most surprising manner."

 

and on butterflies...

 

"Oh and it's Monty Panesar up to bowl, isn't he a jolly fellow? Caressing the crease like a serpent. He's up, he bowls... OH! That's a sight!! Now that must be a world first on TMS ladies and gentlemen! By something truly marvellous! A cabbage white butterfly has just floated past me, glorious it was, in the late afternoon sun just dancing outside the box. No doubt on its way to the wonderful nectar of the hanging baskets outside the pavilion. Oh listeners, a truly splendid sight. Significant in so many ways. Sorry chaps... what was I saying?"

 

also couldn't stop laughing when during the lords New zealand test he couldn't stop calling ryan sidebottom ryan stringfellow...

[Jeff]

He was calling Flintoff Botham in one of the tests against SA recently.

If the Beer, Cream Cakes and boredom don't waft over you first!

[Jeff]

Beer + cakes + cricket do not = boredom.
