Lords

Nath and I made it to Lords (the spiritual home of cricket) for the second test between England and Sri Lanka.  The other spectators were very much English gentry! We saw a lot of chinos, loafers and blazers, much different to what we would see walking down a London street.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't great so our day was cut short.  Around the ground they had cricket records that have been set at Lords and we saw one by Dan Vettori so we were stoked.
The other highlight of the day was being able to take alcohol into the ground.  Very bizarre.  Per person you could take 1 bottle of wine or 4 pint cans.  We still can't figure out why they let people BYO but it sure makes the day a little cheaper.


We had great seats, 2nd row.
Players on the balcony waiting for the rain to stop.
