Are the directors of visiting clubs really queuing up at the kiosks to buy pies? Surely they have full hospitality with gourmet catering laid on for them?
Nae true. I ken for a fact that Tony Bloom was in The Marksman on Duke Street the moment it opened at 6am this morning, buying a round for all youse.
.
So I tried to get tickets earlier, no joy. Rumour is that the BCCI took a huge allocation, most of which have ended up unused. People online were trying to flog for 300% markup, which I ain’t paying.
Mind you, if the fecking Aussies end up winning then I won’t be too upset at not going.
Maybe someone in the Norwich hierarchy actually just said, “Maybe we should ask Delia Smith?” - and this entire appointment is based on a total misunderstanding?
Am tempted to wander down there tomorrow, it’s only a 30 minutes walk from my apartment, and see if there are any return tickets going. I suspect the UAE’s huge expatriate Indian and Pakistani populations bought many of them in anticipatory hope. Comparatively there are very few Aussies here...
I went to that game, and we absolutely slaughtered the Aussies. Humiliated them. Said at the time that England risked peaking too soon…
But there goes Warner, so Pakistan coming back into this!
