You could have a got a ticket for India v Afghanistan at the Ageas Bowl. I'm tempted to get a ticket for Australia v Sri Lanka at the Oval. Easy to get to and only £27 for a ticket.

'tis the Hampshire Bowl nowadays. A much nicer name imo. But alas I could not get a ticket there as I live in the West Midlands most of the time and all the Edgbaston games are either sold out or midweek.

I've got a ticket for England v West Indies at the Rose Bowl, can't wait

A lot of talk yesterday on sky that 500 could be broken in today's game, the absolute opposite happened. Pakistan bowled out for 105 and Chris Gayle making mincemeat out of the chase!

Ahh, the experts! All we’re saying Arsenal vs Chelsea would a tight affair & one goal would be enough

To be fair, had West Indies batted first, it could have...

The Southampton Bowl would've been better but never mind.

Must admit, thought Rose was absolutely perfect. Shame it got sold on. That’s today

Hampshire might be God's own county, but Southampton isn't God's own city.

What on Earth has happened to South Africa? Bangladesh are heading for 350-380 with only 2 wickets down!

I think it may be that Bangladesh are not a not team to be laughed at anymore .

I agree SA are poor , but Bangladesh are a very good side IMHO .

Bangladesh shouldn't be underestimated. They have got some very dangerous players. Also let's see what happens when South Africa bat.

But it isn't a skatepark for sure.

 

[st_brendy]

Losing Ngidi hasn't helped them either. Having to fill his remaining quote with part-time spin is exactly what Bangladesh would want. They probably face better quality spin in their domestic cricket.

 

[st_brendy]

60-3 off the last 12 overs. Bangladesh are in danger of throwing away all their good work. They should have been getting 350 at one point, now they just need to make sure they make 300.

 

[Bill Hill]

That was very enjoyable.

That was very enjoyable.

Yeah very good to watch. Always enjoy cheering on the underdog unless it's vs England. I hope they can go on and defend it.

Well the home of cricket is named after God's own county, ergo if it was named after a specific city, it would be implying that whichever city it's named after is God's own city.

Ah right , understand .

Very well played Bangladesh .

SA were poor , and they have more injury concerns now .

Take nothing away from Bangladesh though !
