By modern standards, prices not too bad.

See you there, Tubbs. A new era beginning for the Lanka?

[Wyatt Earp]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm not sure whether friends have sorted me for tickets for this, but I've got a feeling I've only got India ones in the bag.

So, er, yes. This is one of the most intriguing and appetising summer Test schedules we've had in years and years. Can't wait.

[Anton Gramscescu]

I may be there in August. Any Tests that late, or no?

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Depending when, and if you're in London, you could make it to The Oval. Though I'd get on the case for tickets now to be honest

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Hope you can make a test match, Gramsci.

So for Sri Lanka then. I'm happy to buy if you can pay me back within a suitable timescale. How many definites for the first day?

[Purves Grundy]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm definitely up for this. Is anyone going to take responsibility for getting them, or is it every man for himself?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm happy to do it, though there might be a limit on how many I can buy.

So

1) Me
2) PG

can the others say for sure soon?

[Wyatt Earp]

I might go on one of the weekend days as well, with my son and my Mum.

[hobbes]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm up for this, if my presence won't ruin an otherwise excellent day for you chaps.
haven't been to a cricket match for ages.
Tubby, I can let you have the deniros via t'internet whenever you like. (Or it could be a decent excuse for a pint.)

[Purves Grundy]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Yeah, it may be worth mentioning that I am a complete fucking jonah when it comes to watching test matches.

Windies, Headingley '91: Heavily rain interrupted, although did get to see a reasonable amount of the last two days of the first test England won at home to the Windies in 19 years.

Australia, Trent Bridge '01: Had tickets for fourth day. Arrived a day early for some Nottingham partying and managed to blag our way in to the ground in time to see one ball - the no ball that gave Australia the series win.

Australia, Old Trafford '95: saw 11 entirely incident-free overs on the only rain-affected day of the greatest series there has ever been.

If you guys want to have a whip-round to persuade me to stay away I'll quite understand.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Christ, I'm surprised it didn't start raining in the 100 Club when we went to see The Rutles.

Right

1) Me
2) PG
3) WYatt
4) Hobbes

I'll hang on till later tonight to give DG and E10 the chance to consider their options, then go for it unless I hear otherwise. OK?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Orders for 4 tickets in.

I apparently wait now for them to contact me.

[hobbes]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Cool. It's for the Friday yeah?
I'll book the day off. Thanks mate.

[Duncan Gardner]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Missed the deadline, but still up for it. Let me know details, Tubbs? Ta.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm still not sure I got the tickets. I've had a blank email from them so far.

Will let you know.

[noj]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

I'm going to the Saturday v India at the Oval, whatever that date is (mid August?)

Anyway, if anyone else is going let me know - would be good to meet up with some of you.

Ticket was a princely £52. I found my ticket to the first day of the Ashes test at Edgbaston in 2005 the other day. £16.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Looks like the booking went through. If you chaps would care to send me a PM I'll send you back my bank details. £41 from each of you.

[hobbes]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

If you fancy a pint tomorrow afternoon I'll give you cash. Otherwise pm me your bank details.

[Purves Grundy]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

Just realised I hadn't transferred the money. Should be with you now, or very soon.

Looking forward to this more than I can say.

[hobbes]

Anyone fancy the Lord's Sri Lanka test?

You know, if you wanted to spend the day with me, you could have just said.
