Was there tonight, have to say the crowd where I was sitting had no Interest in the game whatsoever until the last over when they stopped eating and chatting for 3 hours to face the pitch for 2 minutes, great game for those paying attention
I was there too with a bunch of people from work. You literally could have been describing our group, but I'm guessing that's half the crowd. For 3 people (a Russian, a Chinese and a Pole (and no that's not a start of a terrible joke)) it was their first ever cricket game, nice to get new people into it.
As an aside, one of our group spent £25 on chicken, looked really smug with himself when he got back, only to place it onto a chair which then catapulted it backwards in the gap between the chairs. We were laughing our heads off. Only beaten by a chap 5 minutes later near us who then did it with 4 gin and tonics. Fuck me that stadium is expensive.

Brilliant over from Rogers. Kent win by 4 runs
They do indeed have a kit for bowling and a kit for batting. Not seen that before

Back to back gutsy performances with a special shout out for our opening pair.
Pleased to see Joey E back in the team & thought he did his job well.
Weather permitting we'll be at Weds night's match . Anyone else going ?
