I'm not convinced Blast games are up on attendance either having watched them on the streams. if the blast was as popular as he's making out why are quarter final tickets a tenner?
There was a game where they gave loads of tickets to one of those student piss up companies and were surprised when a load of pissed up students arrived, weren't particularly interested in the cricket and caused trouble.I went to the bears v Leicester game and there was trouble in the Hollies and outside the ground after.
Did not expect the chase to start as well as it has. Another decent partnership tonight and only lose 1 more wicket max (after Pope has just gone) and I'll start to believe
Fuck me, that run out is absolutely woeful
total self destruction here.
The problem with this free tickets thing that seems to be the go to on day 5 now is all the tickets are immediately snapped up but there's loads of empty seats. Why not make it adults a tenner, kids a quid and all the money to charity. Raise a few quid and make sure people with tickets are likely to turn up.
I'd like to think it was people who were genuinely want to go who rush to get tickets as they are available online not long after the announcement but then realise they can't for whatever reason but I suspect a decent chunk go to people who then try to sell them on.Pretty selfish really, that
Maybe not the best day for Cain to go on Sky and boast about how inclusive Edgbaston is and how well trained the stewards are to deal with any issues that do come up. Reports of Indian fans being racially abused and when it was reported tot eh stewards they told the fans being absued to sit down and stop complaining.
Was there when the guy got stabbed with a bottle. Pakistan one day international I think. Drink doesn’t help a minority of people behaveThought it sounded like it might be getting a bit OTT yesterday. The constant singing of ‘India get battered everywhere they go’ made it sound more like football than cricket, although Edgbaston is always lively, which I usually love. With the other comments about trouble at Blast games etc this just feels like more idiots that can’t handle their drink and the ‘post pandemic trouble’ now entering cricket.
What is wrong with people these days ?!
I say all that having been pissed at loads of events, gigs, games inc Edgbaston over the years but hardly seeing trouble. This aggressive shit is just ruining live events for many though and people need to learn how to control/behave themselves again…it’s embarrassing !
The price of the beer in the ground I am surprised people can get so drunk.
There seems to have been a lot of examples this summer of "football like" behaviour at the cricket. Pissed up lads in Stone Island causing trouble and generally not there to enjoy the cricket but just to get sniffed and pissed out their heads. Obviously it's the minority over the majority but it's not a good look and not what you'd expect at the cricket.Thought it sounded like it might be getting a bit OTT yesterday.

Not just cricket. Sister has a food contract at several racecourses and says boozy brawls becoming commonplace at horse racing.There seems to have been a lot of examples this summer of "football like" behaviour at the cricket.

Definitely think this post pandemic mindset has something to do with it. Seems some people don't know how to act anymore.
Been watching Test cricket a long time never seen anything like this in England.
4th innings are supposed nervy chases of 200 not comfortable chases of huge scores.
Less than 2 months since I posted this and I don't think anyone would have predicted the turnaroundYer, that's my view too. Hopefully a step away from the formulaic/regimented approach from Root/Silverwood and start by selecting the best team and get them enjoying playing for England again. The Ashes away reminded me of the England football team prior to Southgate, so shit-scared of losing and reliant on instructions, they couldn't think for themselves.
