Going to the ICC Champions Trophy Final in 2014 (I think!) - the India fans actually at the ground were wonderful, friendly and proper fanatic. Even though England lost that day it was made more enjoyable being around them all. Walked out the ground when England blew up shaking and congratulating many of them in our row of seats. Went to a test v India at the Oval, the Indian fans around us were great, they’d brought a huge picnic of Indian street type food and shared it quite freely, we repaid them with beer.

New Dazzler Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 England needing 167 to beat Sri Lanka, who again batted poorly, this time at Bristol. Weather looking a bit ominous though!! I live less than 2 miles from the ground, we had a heavy shower here at about 11.00am, but they had sunshine thoughout that period at the County Ground.

t_b Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Went to cricket today on a rolled over ticket from Eng v Australia last summer. Shall not be returning to anything there for a while. Toilet provision awful for a known attendance. 15-30 minute queues for them. When rolling over ticket from 2020 to 2021 (ie not enforcing a refund) we were promised a £10 voucher to spend in the ground. Two days before they changed this to a £10 ticketmaster credit on future games. Without discussion. Can’t help the weather - although abandoning the game at 4pm when it was sunny not much later and bone dry outside by 530 suggests the ground itself just isn’t cut out for hosting anything with ambition.

Admin phantom Posted July 6, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Following PCR tests administered yesterday (Monday) in Bristol, The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) can confirm that seven members - three players and four management team members- of the England Men's ODI party have tested positive for COVID-19. In collaboration with Public Health England, Public Health Wales and Bristol Local Health Authority, those impacted will now observe a period of self-isolation from July 4 following the UK Government's protocol on quarantine. The remaining members of the party have been deemed close contacts and will also isolate. The ECB have confirmed the Royal London ODIs and the Vitality IT20s against Pakistan will go ahead. Ben Stokes will return to England duties and captain the squad – which will be named in the next few hours. Incoming squad and support team members will follow PCR tests and bridging protocols to ensure safe entry to camp. Tom Harrison, Chief Executive Officer, commented: ‘‘We have been mindful that the emergence of the Delta variant, along with our move away from the stringent enforcement of bio secure environments, could increase the chances of an outbreak. We made a strategic choice to try to adapt protocols, in order to support the overall wellbeing of our players and management staff who have spent much of the last 14 months living in very restricted conditions. Overnight we have worked swiftly to identify a new squad, and we are grateful to Ben Stokes who will return to England duties to Captain. We also recognise the impact this news will have on our First Class Counties and their Men’s playing squads and thank them, along with our partners Sky and Royal London, for their ongoing support in dealing with this pandemic.’’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal on Sunday when I think they could have had a T20 game at 6pm when it dried up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 18 players in squad for 3 games, odds Craig and Lewis don’t play any game? I know it’s full internationals but feel each player in that squad should play at least 1 game because of the situation. Yeah no way back to the England squad for Hales if he can’t get in this squad. can the other isolating England players do the 5 day test and release?

bearded_red Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 It’s a rarity, but I don’t think the ECB should be criticised for this. As someone that has tickets to two of the games, thanks to rollovers from last summer, I would much prefer watching an England B team, that still has some very good players in it, play Pakistan than to have another thing cancelled. Selfishly though of course I’d rather Craig and Lewis were left to play the much more important games for Somerset! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
