It really is a fantastic stadium vic. Where me and Mrs K were standing on the image I posted earlier was where our seats were. The credit card app tells me that we paid $237.20 for two tickets, so half that if you want to convert it to GBP. That also gives us free rail travel to and from the stadium, which is standard for any event on there.
You should take your mate up on the offer and come over.

Thats phenomenal value for an event as big as this. Think its £65 for a ticket when England play up at Durham. No concessions for kids either so same price for my 13 year old.

My cousin's son got us tickets for Sydney and they cost us $175 each, so that's brilliant value.

Just got back home.
What a game that was!
I thought that 172 all out was going to be an easy one for the Aussies to catch. Thankfully my knowledge of cricket tactics is on par with football tactics.
Mitch Starc was the standout player for the Australians. Archer was just next level for England. He kept their batters quiet then Carse and Stokes moved in afterwards.
We weren’t sitting with the Barmy Army,. There was a mix of English and Australians. The guy next to Mrs K was a retired gynaecologist and he kept us entertained all game.
We got plenty of “ha’way the lads” going there, in the stadium and coming back with everyone really complimentary about SAFC in general and what a breath of fresh air they have been this season.
Great day out and a pity we’re not going back tomorrow.

Chuffed you and your Mrs had a great day mate. Can’t see that test match lasting five days mind…

Two takes from that and from what I saw. One TNT commentary was awful and two, nineteen wickets in one day is not good for test cricket.

Agreed on the commentary.

Mind, the pitch doesn't look like dynamite really. Starc was excellent, but they have done their work on the England batsmen. At least three of ours, Crawley, Brook and Stokes were got out to " plan".

I think we looked to have spooked them a bit. Batsmen hopping about , getting hit and beat for pace. Very good lengths by England. Absolutely critical that and so often in the last we'd have been bowling halfway down on that wicket.

Very interesting day coming up. Anything could happen .Hopefully we are going well when I get up at six!

Great picture of the two of you and what a day you must have had. That delivery from Wood when he nearly took Cam Green's head off <cool>

Just turned the tv on and seen it’s the Aussies batting again. Did our batters collapse or something?
