Stayed to the end and drank plenty water in between a few pints but still felt weird on way home. Bizzarely woke up early fresh as a daisy and avoided any sunburn thankfully. More beer and less water and could have been in a bad way I reckon, that was not an experience to repeat again soon haha!
Edit-Staff did a great job best they could, kept going with the water dishing out when it must have been uncomfortable for them and folk moaning at them too. Fair play

Yeah the girls under the Vertu stand I was in were excellent. Absolutely superb and didn’t bat an eyelid. Unlike one spectator who was waiting at the tap (on the wall, not a water filling station but still drinking water), when me and my dad were running it on our heads to cool down. Miserable twat complaining under his breath but saud nothing when I asked him!! (Heard him whinging about what we were doing)

For some reason this sledge to Viv Richards and his retort always stuck in my mind but couldn't remember who said it so had to Google
  1. During his spell for Somerset in County Cricket, Sir Viv Richards produced a legendary retort.

    After playing and missing at successive deliveries, Glamorgan paceman Greg Thomas made the brave decision to give Viv some verbals as to the appearance of the ball.

    "It’s red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering."

    Of course, the next ball was launched out of the ground by the West Indian legend accompanied with the following words:

    "Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and find it."

My little brother was caught playing as a ringer for Boldon against Sacriston a couple weeks back. He took 3 wickets and then clattered 29 not out off 16 balls to win the game.

He wasn't playing below his level or anything, it all just fell for him on the day.

His son plays for Sacriston. He takes him along. Not sure how he thought he'd get away with it <doh>

so he’s using ifs from the NZ team. Didn’t England also put down a few in thise games? So, what he’s basically saying, is that if both teams had fielded better England probably still would’ve won?

Dean Elgar is definitely not obsessed with bazball even if he can't stop talking about it :emoticon-0140-rofl:
