I'll book the net because they should give me a discount
So 3pm is a definite?
Btw, anyone coming from New Street - just hop on either the 61, 62 or 63 & get off at the Priory Rd stop; it's only £1.40 for a single.
Me? Bat? No chance.
Either way, now we've finally got the dates (am assuming confirmation of the net booking is shortly to come from Anna) 'tis time to organise a time and place. Me and my namesake (and hopefully sledger) will presumably be starting from Exeter at about 9AM or so all being equal, so that'd mean we'd get there at about 11 depending on various interventions.
Will Edgbaston be open when there's no game on? There's one convenient no-pay car-park just opposite if not. That'd be the best place if the ground wouldn't be open when we got there. If not, we should just meet there methinks. Unless someone else wants to be picked-up from New Street.

Pickup's coming in from up North, so that'll be me.Unless someone else wants to be picked-up from New Street.
Anna
International Vice-Captain
I can't book until Wednesday cos they've been closed since Sun.Me? Bat? No chance.

Richard, the ground will be open but you now have to pay to park there. Do you mean there's a carpark immediately opposite the ground? If so there is now a large number of flash appartments there instead.....

I think Sunday 27th is the probable outcome.

Naah, that place is different. It's on that side of the road but between the gate to Cannon Hill Park and between the new apartments. Have my doubts that you're supposed to park there for Edgbaston but have parked there before with and without Richard and had no problems.

If the net is at 3, earliest i'd want to be there was 1 and that's only if it's dry. Certainly would want to be there for 2 so we're there all ready to go for our slot.

Exeter to Edgbaston in 2 hours? You've either hired a helicopter or you're a very dangerous driver.

Google Maps says 156 miles in 2h49. Given that there is a 143-mile stretch of motorway involved, that is 2h07 - so 42 minutes on minor roads.
The 143 miles would need to be done in 78 minutes... at 110mph
Averaging 90mph would give you the motorway stint in 95 minutes, and a more sensible 2h17.
