Might go on train myself. Rare trip to that disgusting City for me. I avoid going to the place unless absolutely necessary. This match is a reasonable exception 

Train is cheaper and Trent Bridge is easily accessible from the train station.

A train strike will probably do me a favour, I booked rail tickets back in July to go with mates from London to watch our footy team Carlisle United, suffer horribly at the ha...., sorry...., handsomely defeat Lincoln City. 

 

Gutted that I can't make the Trent Bridge game for now however if there's another rail strike called, l'll be able to get a full refund and drive to Trent Bridge.

That's a blast from the past, I watched him make his test debut just over 13 years ago in the Pakistan v Australia game at Lord's. Shane Watson took 5-40 that day

Controversial signing 🤣

Anyone know if this will be streamed to a global audience?

I will be in the US when the games on, I can’t imagine any of their sports channels showing it.

I may be wrong for the final, but all of the other games are streamed live on the ECB website/app so would think it'll be the same.

Thank you - now just to break it to the Mrs that I’ll be spending a full day of our break streaming a cricket game.

It's on the stream yep.

Ben Cox has signed. Loan with a permanent three-year deal, starting straight away.

 

Presume he'd be cup-tied for the final though?

[SemperEadem]

Like the Cox move.

Seems very unfair on young Harry who's  a solid player and batting wise on a par with Cox albeit  an inferior  keeper

[Voll Blau]

Just booked for 15 of us in the Fox Road Stand (Block 1) for the final.

 

Can't wait!

Is he on a par, averages show he's below him in all 3 formats, with Cox sustaining a higher average having played a lot more games.

Fox Road Stand ticket sorted.

 

Now just need to hope there're no train strikes, otherwise it's another sober day!

I think Cox is a pretty clear upgrade in terms of both batting and keeping.

 

Swindells has at times looked like he could be an ok keeper and an ok bat but hasn't pushed on since that season he scored a couple tons and he'll be 25 by the time next season starts. I do wonder whether a top level keeper like Cox coming in could mean he can focus purely on his batting and perhaps follow in the footsteps of Hill who (One Day Cup aside) is an accomplished and reliable batter for us these days. He's a local lad and clearly talented so I hope he gets the chance.

Swindells averages 26 in fc matches cox 27 so yep pretty similar .Only 2 years ago that Harry aveaged well over 40 in the championship
