Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) So it's at Durham cricket ground, in County Durham, but people can't say its at Durham? How's about you just fuck off Edited August 6, 2013 by TheRollingStones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The ground is at Chester le Street,not Durham,so what part of that do you and most of the media not get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The ground is at Chester le Street,not Durham,so what part of that do you and most of the media not get.The part where it's home of Durham CCC. Same as 'playing at Lancashire' means Old Trafford or 'playing at Notts' means Trent Bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I live in Chester Le street. I call it Durham cricket ground. Chester Le street cricket ground is a completely different place in the town centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 J69, some tickets left for Sunday and I'm thinking of snagging two, how easy is the ground to get to, what's the parking situation like and does a good atmosphere get going (only been to more 'traditional' cricket grounds so have a completely irrational idea that it won't be as good at a newer place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 i'd like to see onions have a bowl on his home ground. he's been unlucky not to win more caps really. he's always looked impressive bowling in tests, averages under 30 iircSecond best english bowler when in England. Ludicrous that he hasn't played in this series. Bresnan is bang average at test lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) When i lived in Chester le,the locals called the town centre ground `The Cricket Club' and the home of Durham CCC was known as `The Riverside'.It was never known as Durham Cricket Ground.Maybe it's changed.

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That's because the ground used to be called 'The Riverside'. It isn't anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one road in and out to the car park and its gridlocked trying to get out at the end of the game The ground will be bouncing I'm sure. Near enough sold out. Currently looking like rain on Friday so I hope that changes! Edited August 7, 2013 by TheRollingStones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've paid for parking at the ground - 7 quid. I'm resigned to it taking ages for me to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just have a drink for half an hour at the end and let the rest race to get out. Met office says its looking dry on Friday now. Which day you going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm going on the Monday. Can't find a forecast on the met office that goes out that far. Looks like heavy showers on the Sunday though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm going on Monday too. The last time I was at CLS England gave the Aussies a damn good thrashing (one dayer in 2009). Here's hoping for a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19733 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 i'm off to day one at the oval. gemmill, i'd advise against driving. a day spent boozing at the cricket is one of life's pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm not a big boozer tbh and particularly not a daytime boozer. I'd be hungover by tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Get some reefers on the go instead, you could even dig out your old Ruud Gullit wig. Obviously spend the day speaking like Michael Holding. Should be a right laugh and you can still drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I'll need to run a lead from the car to power the vaporiser. "Nat oat." That's my best Holding impression. Edited August 7, 2013 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6287 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I see the Aussies are getting their excuses in already.... tape on KP's bat indeed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondTUTU 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Because they really would cheat by widening the bat making an edge more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
