The Oval - one for the cricket historians

Ah, the Oval. Where England first lost to Australia in 1886, prompting newspaper headlines that English cricket had died and providing the catalyst for the trophy now known as the Ashes. The sortof place that really floats my boat.

An appropriate place to catch up with Frasier on his second day in London and enjoy a good day of cricket. After 3 false starts, the game and the weather eventually fired up and we saw plenty of high quality cricket.

Full scorecard

looks like you are getting lots of goodcricket viewing in. The Ashes should be a cracker this year. Hopefully you will get to watch some of it live.
