I was at Chester le Street last night to watch Durham v Lancashire play in the T20 (Not really cricket) but you do get to keep warm with all the flamethrowers going off every time someone scores a four or a six. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Durham lost btw. ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/Cricket/18979714990_0cced3bbef_b_zpsjbszrjgx.jpg~original)

These three young chaps won a competition and there prize was to watch the cricket match from a hot tub with endless supplies of lager. I'm thinking our very own One White Duck would like to give this a go. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/Cricket/18971337890_83c662a525_b_zpslbyejt9c.jpg~original)

John. I watched this and looked out for you on TV. Never been in a tub at a cricket match (not that I can remember!!). 12 days to the first test in Cardiff (July 8). Going with a couple of friends from the club and my old man father whose 78 but fit as a butchers dog!
Going dressed as vicars.
God Bless

God Bless So I wasn't on the telly despite waving my 4 and 6 card and doing my umpire impersonation every time there was a boundary. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Maybe I should try fancy dress? Have you got one of these? ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/animations%202/instant-vicar-set-321_zpsgc4b7kp7.jpg~original) Or are you wearing a more traditional outfit? ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/animations%202/gents-priest-costume_zpsqixsxx4h.jpg~original) Or a bit outrageous? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/animations%202/BACKLESSVICAR_zps0hezwznr.jpg~original)

This could work but I need the hat to make the ensemble become reality. The glasses are easy. ![8-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/nerd.png)

Had a stupendous day out yesterday in Cardiff. Wetherspoons 8:15am for a full Welsh breakfast and the statutory and traditional pint or three. Sat right in front of a the Aussies and had some great banter with them. The Wetherspoons used to be the old Capitol Theatre where Tull played during the early 70's (had to get a Tull link in there)

That's the difference with cricket as opposed to the likes of football, we can all sit together with the other teams fans and share a bit of banter. I was sat with some Yorkshire supporters at our last match at Durham and we had a great time sharing stories and generally having a good bit of light-hearted fun. Cricket lovely Cricket! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Saw Durham get hammered in the T20 last night. The good news is I got some freebies namely this very fitting hat plus a couple of blow up bats that make a noise when you bash the together. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/drummerjohn49/Cricket/19613085910_e256a6574a_b_zpsgrhtnhml.jpg~original)
