Apply early chaps.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

My brother in law plays one day for New Zealand, but is out of the last squad. Hopefully hel be back in for the England tour and then free tickts for me!

 

[Trigger]

Which day are you going on for the Windies Chappers?

 

[CHAPPERS]

It depends, i don't book it but its normally day one but if not it'll be day two. Can't confirm quite yet.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Agreed, Windies at the Oval stands out a mile in that list. Its always a Calypso Carnival of Cricket, in stark contrast to Lords.

 

[Trigger]

Find out ASAP Chapers, we all want to go on the same day dont we?

 

[Reading Posh]

Can't wait for the annual trip to the Oval for the WIndies!!!

Absolutely!

But why only a four test series? Bizarre.
