A very good series win for England! Aside from their lapse in the first test they outplayed the home side and that's no mean feat. They've also blooded some exciting new players in the process. The future's looking quite bright.

CMJ and Tony Greig both dead within days of eachother.

I recall watching Greig as a lad and much admired his fighting spirit even though his words sometimes came back to haunt him. I was at the 1976 Oval test match during which Greig was England captain and Michael Holding was truly supreme as he perfected the art of 'whispering death'...

As for CMJ, well he was one of the true voices of test match cricket in the UK and will be sorely missed by those who love the use of language he brought to the commentary.

RIP both.

Quick question - anyone been to watch cricket at the Oval lately? What would be the best place to sit? Also generally, where do people like sitting when going to watch Cricket live?

Re: Cricket
 

I was looking at the Lock Stand too..... not sure if to go high or low in the stand though. It's for the PAkistan West Indies ICC 50 over match in June.

Re: Cricket
 

I went to the oval last summer for the England v South Africa test and sat in the Peter May stand which is where the cheapest seats are and it was ok. I generally find with cricket it doesn't really matter where you sit, but that might just be me plus the amount of alcohol i consumed i could have been sitting anywhere and enjoyed it. I sat in the same stand for a one day game against India also.

I'm going to Lords this summer to the NZ test as i didn't manage to get Ashes tickets. I think i'm sitting in the first row for that, which will be interesting!
