Have you ever been to an International Cricket Game?

[icyman]

The thread title is clear enoguh and I mean International Game and not a domestic game.
So,how many of you have actually gone to a stadium to watch a match ?

I have never been :crying

I don't get many opportunities because of where I live, but I saw the last ODI played in Amstelveen, Amsterdam - Australia vs Pakistan, the final of a triangular where all the other matches but one had been rained off. India lost the only previous match to Pakistan, so they weren't able to play, but it was a decent game. If I remember correctly, Aus made the run chase. I don't really remember the game that well because I was concentrating more on the drunk English blokes behind us with the 'beer snake'.

When i lived in pakistan, i was really close to the rawalpindi stadium...I was so close that when once afridi played in there, i saw the ball go out of the ground

I've been to lots. I try to get to a Test every summer but I didn't make it last summer as all 5 days were pre-sold and sold out.
No Durham test this summer so I'm not sure what I'll go and see.
I've also seen England play a test in Christchurch and ODI's in Wellington and Napier.

I haven't . I probably won't this summer, but there might be some spare tickets for the Sri Lanka tests.

No Durham test this summer so I'm not sure what I'll go and see.

You've got 4 ODIs in Edinburgh this summer, one in June and 3 in August.

i went to a match in india once, i think it was against england or like s africa but it was like 5 years ago and believe or not i didnt know what a "six, four" or no ball or wide was" i learned cricket in 2003 after worldcup, the first match that i ever saw on tv and second in life time ever was india vs pakistan world cup match, and then my dad thought me the rules

I'm away for most of June and at Uni in Glasgow for most of August but I'll do my best.
Plus ODI cricket sucks...

Most of the European Championship is in Glasgow in August (apart from the 3 ODIs which have to be in Edinburgh). So with your phobia of one day cricket, you're going to hate being there

You'll have to go up to Aberdeen for the Scotland v Ireland 4 day game on the 17th.

 

[barmyarmy]

17 August?
If so I'll be in class 9-5...

You'll have the Saturday and Sunday off though won't you? And how come you don't get a holiday in August?

Been to a couple of days of a test. South Africa a couple of years ago, and the West Indies before that. Both at Edgbaston.

Bilal how many times have you lied on these forums?
