Have done at least 1 day of an Ashes Lord's Test since 97 and watched plenty of Waugh & Co make runs and England roll over to McGrath and Warne . This year we are there for 3 days. Can't wait. Love the atmosphere of Lord's. No flags, musical instruments and slacks apart no fancy dress but you can take in a bottle and a picnic. So much more 'adult'
Wot no Foakes!

I’m not riding to the bait! 😏Quote:

We need to bowl really tightly and get them out cheaply because with Starc back in for them ( I’m presuming ) then they are not going to be going for 400+ in either innings.
I reckon we lose 1-4 or 0-5 this summer.
No bait! My daughter prompted it when she called and asked if they were ready. She knows how much I'm like a big kid when on my way to Lord's.
There was an old wartime saying, Is your journey necessary?

I wish we had done only our usual 1 day. It starts with a full English, short walk to the station, cab to Lord's, picnic lunch and a steak in our favourite Italian to round off the day. A special occasion. Much better cricket yesterday but I didn't wake up with the usual excitement. Not there today back again Saturday. Irrespective of the match position I'm not too enthusiastic about doing it all over again. Old age?
I'm all for a bit of flamboyance but don't they look total burkes? Someone tell Ketts2 his tie has to reach his belt.Quote:

Nothing wrong with a bit of flamboyance and eccentricity. I would hate to see this sort of tradition lost to the game.Quote:
