...then this is the thread for you!

I love cricket, it is second only to rugby for me. I have been fortunate to watch some of a previous Ashes in Australia at the Melbourne Test in 2002. An amazing experience and I would dearly love to do the whole tour one day.

Anyway a not unfamiliar start to England's batting today with a paltry 172. We'll have to see how that racks up when the Aussies have batted.
 
I used to work the turnstiles at Headingley, then retire to the vacant members seats, for the last hour, with pork pie and a pint, out of my wages.
Bliss!


Trying to find a way round BBC's Overseas radio ban.
I believe its on Sports Extra 3.

It's the only thing that I miss, from Blighty.
Apart from people.

Any suggestions?

Bit baffled by reception of BBC in Europe.
Listen to radio 4 and radio Scotland a lot when travelling abroad , without any problem .
Only have a problem if live football comes on .
'for rights reasons blah blah'
Yet I didn't have that problem this trip !
No idea why
 
Normally, they tell me, that if you're on holiday abroad, you should have full access.
Does anyone have any info on this.
Hope so.
 
My mate always follows the Ashes, he is an undertakers assistant! 😂
