It's cheaper to shop in Saville Row than buy a ticket to Lord's.

Could buy a pair of decent undies in Saville Row for that. Which would be about as much fun as watching SL (or India) play England.

I think the first day of the 2005 Ashes Test at Lords was close enough the best atmosphere at anything I've ever been to. Even an hour before the start of play for the day there was something really exciting about being there.

For someone as laid back as myself, it is incredibly annoying. Is even worse on the streets than on the tube though. Everyone going somewhere an breakneck speed to do something incredibly important. Apart from me that is.

It's the ground in the middle left of this picture (on the left side of the main road), just behind the apartment buildings. Sports the world-renowned Max Wilson Hill. RIP Max.

Yeah, it's got a big yellow line through it as well. That can't be good.

It's one of the few grounds in the world with a sand trap. Good end to bowl from.

No value in the straight drive. Good, those batsmen have had it too easy for too long.

Reminds me of that test England played in the West Indies in 2009 which was just after the abandoned test. It was at a recreational ground and it had a ridge in the middle of the pitch from the halfway line of the football pitch. All the bowlers were trying to hit it.

It's at Kingscliff, Northern NSW mate. Played all my junior cricket there and some senior cricket as well.where's that coco mondo?

Don't really see how London is not a major sporting city, is more so than any other European capital I can think of.

This applies to football more than sport in general but capital cities tend not to be the footballing hotbeds of Europe.
Yeah very much so, at least in Western Europe, Madrid being an obvious exception. Think I am right in saying that Rome, Paris, Berlin and London have all failed to produce a European champion.
London may not be an iconic Football city like Liverpool, Glasgow or Manchester but it is hardly bereft of a tradition like a city such as Paris is. It has a major and often iconic venue for every popular sport in this country. Even stuff like the NFL at Wembley shows what a major centre it is.
