Just tell her how sexy she looks when she's angry, it works a treat.

Sounds like we should catch up then.

I got asked if I wanted a box ticket for Saturday but had to knock it back as I have show on in town Saturday night and I've gotta behave. Now I've been asked if I wanna go Friday instead, that sounds ideal, just trying to piece together a plan.

I seriously don’t know how your liver survives or that you are still married

2:30 - 4:30
5:15 - 7:15
7:45 - 9:45

At a guess
It's scheduled to be 2.30-4.30, 5.10-7.10 and then 7.30-9.30 (Plus the extra half hour which will take the day to 10pm).

1st Session - 2:30 to 4:30
tea - 4:30 to 4:50
2nd session - 4:50 to 6:50
Dinner break - 6:50 to 7:30
3rd Session - 7:30 to 10:00 pm (allowing for the extra 30 mins for the slow over rate, drinks, glove changes, drinks break interviews on Fox :roll: )

No, it's still the traditional 40 min break first and 20 min break second.

I'll just try and sit on a slow rate for the first session, perhaps 2-3 beers per hour before swinging to the gins for the middle session where hopefully I can get bogged down for a while in some deep conversation.

I nice fullish meal in-between sessions 2 and 3 should put me in good stead to come home with the bourbons with a couple of reds to round out the night for the last half an hour and then the half an hour waiting for the guests to leave.

A stroll across to Queens Head to finish the night off with two pints while waiting for an uber should be a good finish to the evening.

For memory I think I went on the Saturday last year with some seasoned drinkers and it was as hot AF, I reckon we all bailed midway through the last session, the sun hangs around for ages where our box is.

I just gotta make sure I treat it like a test and not a T20, we've had many failures in our box for a full day's play.

BBL matches are ideal for it, everyone is supporting the same team, great snacks upon arrival to get you through to the interval where it's usually a good spread. Can't really get too tipsy in the 3 hours, just gotta avoid loosening the pipes beforehand.

Let's hope so. What could go wrong?

Personally I don't really 'like' the Australian team - I agree with some media outlets who say we are a bit 'on the nose'.

Despite this, I am going Friday - and I hope the Windies fight tooth and nail before losing inside 3 days.
