There’s some great things in the world to watch. England thumping the aussies at cricket is definately one of them. Starting off with the lower quality photos (but higher quality drinking) of the 5th test of the 2009 ashes series at the oval, the first time I’d ever gone to a test match.

And it was awesome, even if it was complete carnage next to the barmy army….

The problem is, it left a hankering for sitting in the sunshine for a day, drinking variable quality real ale and watching, or mostly not watching some fairly average cricket.

Still to come, some significantly more average, but significantly more photogenic cricket.
