I'm going on the Friday, not sure what stand we're in though.  I'm really looking forward to it but my liver is trembling.

Going on Saturday for some free hospitality in the Jaguar Suite. I won 6 tickets in a competition, so I'm well chuffed. I've also got tickets for the Sunday if the game lasts that long.

Cheers, I'll try my very best, it'd be rude not to!

The Bears website is reporting that they will be selling tickets at the Cricket in the City festival which is being held in Victoria Square tomorrow. They don't specify which days the tickets are for though.

The E-ticketing section on the Bears website also has limited availability in the Stanley Barnes and Eric Hollies stands on the first three days.

I'm going with an Indian mate on Thursday, who has spent the last few months telling me what India were going to do to England.   Funnily enough, he hasn't wanted to chat about the cricket much in the last few days.

Hoping that India bat on Wednesday, 250'ish all out and England say 50/0 overnight.   Bell to score a classy hundred on the Thursday would be the icing on hopefully a very tasty cake.

Thats funny, i have an Indian friend who swore India would win the series with ease. I haven't heard from him since the end of the second test...

Got tickets for Sunday, fingers crossed it goes that far.

Yes, the Indian work colleague who shook hands on a £20 bet that England would not win the series by two clear games and therefore go to No.1 in the Test rankings has been very conspicuous by his avoiding me.

On a side note, why do Warwickshire CCC play outside of Warwickshire?
