England v South Africa at Durham

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Going to be a warm one. Odds are heavily on heading to the pub very early into the game. Hat, long sleeved shirt and linen trousers all ready.

Must admit that I'm looking forward to the cricket but not the temperatures. Fingers crossed for some shade early in play.

Enjoy, those lower tier seats will be the best place to be I think

You too mate, we are row D in the North West terrace so fingers crossed we are OK.
Just had an email off Durham CC and they are allowing food and non alcoholic drinks in which is a bonus.

I’m at the top of the west facing uncovered temporary stand


Only positive is, if there’s any breeze I’ll get it up there!

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

I’ll be there, looking forward to it. Thinking I’ll have to use my renowned ‘liquid cooling technique’ cold liquid in, hot liquid out

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

That’s my plan

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I'm usually not one for moaning about it being hot but fully recommended everyone takes suncream and a hat (I'd need one as no hair lol). Also plenty of fluids... God I sound like my mum

Hopefully we post some kind of competitive score and its still a contest when I get home around 1700.

Enjoy all.... Feeling slightly envious of all attending. It's nice to have a bit of international cricket in the NE.

 

[go-nads!]

I was gonna get a last minute ticket but the thought of baking in the sun put me right off.

Hope all going have a brill day and that the heat isn't too relentless.

 

[Otto42]

Enjoy all who are going. Extra poignancy given it will be Stokes last ODI. Reckon there could be some big scores.

 

[Yearbyred]

Watching on Tv and amazed at the amount of people not even with a hat on.

Crazy to sit all day in this heat like that.

 

[Jedi boro]

All gone a bit flat hasn’t it

That’s a bit better

 

[junos_boots]

Which one of you is wearing the white Ramsdens Boro shirt right next to where Stokes has just left the tield?

 

[Borobuddah]

The shirt they are wearing reminds me of the new away kit

 

[Kosovo]

That’s crap by Livingstone again. Never going to be any good in Odi’s batting like he is.

 

[Yearbyred]

Not a good pitch for a ODI, not helped by the baking hot weather.

Pitch getting slower and lower as the game goes on and scoring not easy. Not a great spectacle.

Hopefully a better pitch at Headingley on Sunday.

It’s been woeful let’s be honest

 

[junos_boots]

The pitches have all been slow and low bounce for the last few 50 over games. This could be in preparation for the world cup as the ICC prepares pitches for this and historically they have been slow. So maybe England are asking for these pitches.

 

[Fat_Dragon]

Anyone know when Jofra Archer will return to the England team?

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

Well, I can confirm it was hot
