    Exciting stuff - we need a bit of pace and variety.

    Not sure Archer has excelled at anything other than 20 over stuff so far?

    As a biased Sussex supporter, I would disagree with that. Although he is bowling in Division 2, many batsmen find him a real handful. This article in The Cricketer sums it up quite well having seen a lot of him.

    Our record over there is still very poor. Remember Colin Graves quote four years ago.

    Good for Joe Denly to keep his place in both squads. I wonder if he will get any sort of opportunity in the West Indies?

    I thought about it, in fact I'm still thinking. Justifying £150 for sport is going to be tricky....

    All extortionate except the middle and rear of the lower Edrich

    Grandstand, Mound, Upper Compton all £150
    Lower Edrich £100 (front), £75 (middle) and £55 (rear)
    Restricted £45

    Weird that the lower Compton and Upper Edrich aren't available, surely they aren't all allocated to the convicts?

    Incredible price - if the average is lets say, 100 pounds x 4days x 27000 thats over 10million on gate receipts alone let alone ever

    You get what you pay for! The lower stands at the Nursery End are awful.
    When I finally got through it was only Compton Upper available. I have applied for the maximum of 2 but am not hopeful as I've never got any on this ballot. I have been successful via the England Fans membership group though every year and Ashes too. Fortunately I know a lot of MCC members and always get a ticket.

    Going to Edgbaston and The Oval anyway, hard to justify paying £150 quid for a seat

    Just noticed that England are touring SA at end of 2019.
    With a bit of luck, if things work out, i will be back living in SA by then, so will likely be at Newlands for all 5 days of the Test Match there, which normally starts 2/3rd of January.

    Going Edgbaston and Oval and husband going old Trafford on a stag and I’m not allowed. Will enter Lords ballot but restricted tickets only. Day 5 on sale and no refunds if it finishes early? Outrageous.

    So, i'm off sick today with a bug that i cant shift. Thought , i know, i'll watch a bit of SKY Cricket channel, and see if they have any old replays of WC games etc that i know they normally have, only to find that for the WHOLE day they have replays of the Womens recent WC . Now, i know they should show womens cricket sometimes but not the whole feckin day .
