Anyone going to the Test this week? Going to be roasting hot for the players on Wednesday and Thursday
Yep, Bought £15 tickets yesterday for Friday. If it’s still going on then....
Whereabouts are the £15 tickets? Are they "rovers"?
Restricted view lower mound. there were quite a few left. Always buy them/apply for them for matches and in ballots, never really that restricted, and so much movement in the crowd for a test, can pretty much sit where you like. I bet we're in the seat behind the pillar now i've said that (which they do sell) and it'll be packed so we can't move. I'll be on the nursery if so sitting under a picnic bench in the shade.

The lower tier of the Edrich/Compton Stands are one of the worst views in cricket imo. It is like looking through a pillar-box and bloody cold even when the sun is out.
Lets hope the redevelopment cures that particular problem.

Being under cover will be an attractive option this week though!

I got a restricted view Mound Stand seat for the Ashes as I wasn't prepared to pay the £150 plus prices for the regular ones. Really hoping I'll be able to peer around the pillar!
Ah I didn't know, thought he would be fit. Knew he was missing this week's test. I guess Curran gives us extra batting but we need real pace, possibly why Stone is in the squad.

Lower Compton is terrible but lower mound is great. The over hang of the upper doesn’t infringe much at all. The only restriction we’ve had in our various seats others over the years is 1 pillar and the camera/score stand under old Father Time blocking less than 20% of the the outfield. In fact some years we’ve struggled to understand why our tickets were restricted!
For pakistan India we were in upper grandstand debentures , 4th row back. Couldn’t see any boundaries in front of us!

That's surprising for a pretty new structure. I guess the constricted site means compromises have to be made
Yes, Lower Mound is very nice. Right above the best Real Ale bar at Lord's too
Hate the Mound Stand and Lower Compton and Edrich. For non-members the best seat in the house are Upper Compton and Edrich. For the Friday of the Ashes Test I have somehow wangled Upper Compton, Row A, seats 1 and 2.

Was Row A in upper Compton for the eng Australia game for World Cup. Right behind the poxy guitar man. Great view! Not great leg room.
just bumped in to Olly Stones dad by ticket office (heard him say to a steward his son was playing so asked him who his son was) and he was excited cos he’s not seen him play For England yet , think he’d played a few odi’s in Sri Lanka and his dad was due to see him in the West Indies before he pulled out injured .

It might take a time for Roy to master "the leave"
You cannot judge a batsman on the basis of one innings but he had an attempted leave that he almost chopped on, a no ball where he played across the line for and was plumb LBW and then finally played outside his body at one to be caught in the slips.
He is, effectively, learning on the job as there is a wealth of difference opening in One Days and Tests.

Should be a day five thriller ...

Whats his injury?
Ouch, first Test without Jimmy and Archer.
Call for Darren Stevens - he'll put the shits up Oz.
He is leaving Kent after 15 years
