Lords - ICC Test Cricket Championship

Here's hoping for a great day's cricket at Lords!! We have been looking forward to this day and have great weather, seats and now all we need is an Aussie win. Even brought the Tatts Cricket Club shirt over for the day. It will be a good way to finish our trip.

It ended up a good day's cricket - if you are a South African. Australia will need early wickets and a miracle tomorrow.

Lords is a great spot to watch cricket - you are close to the action and they have padded seats. It is the only cricket ground in the world where you can take in your own grog - 2 stubbies or a bottle of wine or champagne (plenty was sold at the ground to, as champagne corks were popping all day).

The crowd was overwhelmingly South African supporters, about 80/20. Where we were it was about 98/2 - we were right in the middle of a huge group and they were starting to wear a bit thin by the end of the day as SA got on top.

Today was our last day in England. We head home tomorrow.Read more
