Geoffs Life After Work !

Eng v Aus ODI

Here we are at Trafford Park Manchester home of the mighty Lancashire Cricket Ground to watch ongoing battles between Australia and England.England have already won the Ashes Test 3 – 2 and the one off T20 but before this match were on the brink of losing the One Day Internationals by trailing 2 – 0 in this 5 game competition,fortunately this game England won and now trail 2 – 1 with a chance,We drove from Blackpool the 90 minute drive and after getting lost a few times found our Hotel.By bus and tram we easily found our way to the cricket ground that was quickly filling to near capacity,People were dressed in all sorts of costumes ( I had my Australian Convict shirt on) after over 30 yrs living in Australia my sporting allegiances are towards English sport (Cricket,Rugby,Football et al) We had excellent viewing seats and had great fun watching the Ozzies get slaughtered ! The crowd were in good spirits having fun with the opposition even a couple of players got in involved.Their was plenty of food outlets,beer could be carried 4 at a time and entertainment throughout the ground during the interval was provided.Games at this level can be up to 10 hours long and lots of people provided their own picnics  This ground is very near to my birthplace in Timperley
