Got the first couple of days against the Saffers at Lord’s in the diary.

First trip back to HQ since COVID.

Had I gone for them myself, and not sent Mrs justinr73, I’d be fuming.

Were the two lads not running the 'order your beer here and then we'll call you when it's ready to collect' bar from the side door of the scoreboard ? There last year for the ODI v Zim and very useful. Definitely an improvement on queuing at the CS bar.

They’ve moved the order/collection point but the number of punters that need serving has increased.

At least you can still watch the cricket whilst you wait I suppose.

Great performance by Ireland this morning in the T20 WC.

Didn't just beat West Indies, but gave them a mauling.

Great stuff from Ulsterman Stirling with the bat. :fleg:

Tucker and Balbirnie not too shoddy either. >appl >appl

Bowlers and fielders gave a very gettable target, so well done all. :salut:

Great stuff. The Windies though ... beaten by Ireland AND Scotland.

I've heard that basketball is pushing cricket out in the Windies. Any truth to that?

Quality cricket from England today.

It’s the final I expected at the start of the tournament.

Pakistan are very reliant on their openers if they are to post a big total but their attack compensates for that.

England’s batting lineup is second to none.

The best team on the day will win but, annoyingly, the weather forecast isn’t great.
