Eng vs NZ T20

Anyone go or watch it yesterday? I went, England played like world champions, absolutely smashed the kiwi's. NZ got 139 in their innings. England reached that score within 14 overs, reaching the last 4 runs with a 6. Nz need to up their game if they are to have any chance of winning the remaining matches.

I was there yesterday.We were brilliant.One thing I couldn't get over, was the speed the fast bowlers were sending the ball in. Seeing it live made me appreciate how good the batsmen have to be to hit it!

Dafabet block 35 row x. Not that we could find it as the rows didn't have the letters on. Were you sat near?

I was in block 33, row A, and you're right, there were no markings on the rows. Me and my nephew got our large loafs on that Vitality cam, where they were expecting you to jog on the spot. My nephew froze, I just pmsl.

Getting a beer was a nightmare, 30-40mins to get served, for such a short game was bang out of order. only 4 pumps pulling lager, and made to order. I've e-mailed the club telling them people were well pissed off, and that the bar is dated. So easy for them machines that pull 8 pints at a time, there was none of that.

Haha that is class. I have done the same regarding the drinks situation. We missed quite a few overs of the NZ batting due to it. Still overall a good day out. Mad rush back for the last train to Redcar though.

We were fortunate, one of the lads was driving, so we did the park n ride. What a great service that is for 3 quid. Was no messing about, straight in and out with little hassle. Was back through my front door bang on 10pm.
