I believe Stokes and Co were boozing in the White Horse in Parsons Green before heading for the nightclub. At least they chose a place that serves decent beer. Although the clientele can be on the irritating side. The place isn’t nicknamed The Sloaney Pony for nothing..
Trent Bridge and Edgbaston are both better grounds and free of the MCC’s tedious membership.
Amen to that, CAS. Approximately two people will remember that my original joining of TRF in 2004 coincided with my time of living in Birmingham and working for a software company based on the University campus.
Edgbaston was sufficiently within hailing distance for afternoon decamps to County Championship matches on quieter work days, and was absolutely lazered into the diary as a work do event whenever the Tests came to town.
Watching Brett Lee getting spanked to all parts on day one of the legendary 2005 Ashes Test will never be erased from the memory. 407 runs from 79 possible overs of play, Bazball tempo long before the dread phrase was ever coined.
