oooooh, cricket Friend!

I have followed a similar strategy to avoid financial meltdown, however we have accidentally applied for one of the same games. Fail.

I have applied for too many games, most of which I would struggle to get to if I were to be successful, but have cunningly done it through the medium of a cricket-going friend, so as to somewhat spread the financial consequences of catastrophic success. The ticket prices for most of the attractive games are ridiculous.

In unrelated news, is anyone quietly singing “Kohli don’t like it, scrap the hundred, scrap the hundred’ to themselves to the tune of The Clash’s ‘Rock the Casbah’?

I applied for Ind-Aus and Ind-Pak. 4 tickets each. How does it work though? Is it all or none? Or can I maybe get 2 tickets to one of the matches or something like that?

I got Bangladesh v Pakistan in the first ballot. Earplugs?

Yes. Our strategy involves picking out a couple of matches we want to go to and seeing whether we get tickets for them.

What’ya going for? What’s your strategy?

I’ve plumped for Eng v Aus and Eng v Ind group games, which it is anticipated will have ‘high’ demand.

Nothing wrong with Vince Wells. Make him captain, I’d say.

At least James Vince can complete a catch.

Dear Bert, many thanks,
Today I received much rain
And reassurance.

Bail-Out
Was concerned about
Whether his Clerihew conformed strictly to the required metre and length of line.
But it was fine.
